Delhi Police used AI powered smart glasses for security in India. It may have reduced the need for manual checking, but it opens many questions around surveillance, privacy, and AI bias

00:00Green box, you're clear. Red box, you're a suspect. That's what these AI smart glasses
00:05can do. They are linked to a smartphone loaded with criminal databases to spot suspicious
00:09people in big crowds. It reduces manual spot checking. The Delhi police voted during the
00:14Republic Day Parade. However, it is not clear if they will continue using it. But it does
00:19highlight the increasing use of AI in policing. In China, such AI smart glasses are used for
00:24traffic management. In Maharashtra, there is a far less intrusive way of using this type of tech
00:29in policing. They use a Microsoft-powered AI system to automate complaints processing. This
00:34reduces paperwork and speeds up cybercrime response time. But it's not all great, as India still does
00:40not have legally binding rules on AI. And multiple studies show how AI-powered policing can go horribly
00:46wrong. Studies warn of amplification of bias and discrimination, mass surveillance and accuracy
00:51failures. So before introducing AI in policing, should India first work on its AI regulation?
