A camera with artificial intelligence issued more than 1,000 fines in 4 days. In addition to trivial speeding and crossing stop lines, modern cameras in the Russian Federation also record failure to wear seat belts, obstruction of pedestrians, and will soon begin to “see” the absence of a mandatory motor vehicle liability insurance policy. And soon this whole story could reach a fundamentally new level. Greek authorities are introducing cameras with artificial intelligence. The source said that there was only one camera on Singru Avenue, connecting Athens and the port of Piraeus, recording more than 1,000 traffic violations in 4 days of operation. The camera records images of people not wearing seat belts, using mobile phones while driving (350 euros) and speeding (150-750 euros). There are currently eight such cameras in different areas of Athens. They also collected hundreds of fines during the same working period, bringing the total number of recorded violations to 2.5 thousand. The test was considered successful: according to preliminary estimates, a camera with AI could earn up to 750 thousand dollars in just 3 days. Immediate plans therefore include the installation of up to 2,000 fixed cameras and 500 mobile cameras (they will be installed on city buses) across Greece. As a result, officials hope to significantly reduce the number of road accidents, reduce the burden on police and ensure stable funding for public services. By the way, cameras with AI are already in use in England, Germany, France, Spain, Australia, India, China, Japan, as well as in the Middle East and the United States. Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs is also studying “the possibility of using modern technology to process large volumes of information from recording devices.”
