00:00Fed up with being stuck in traffic? AI might bring order to the gridlock.
00:05Bangladesh has launched its first AI-powered traffic enforcement cameras in Dhaka.
00:11The automated system replaces manual policing in some parts and will probably catch you faster than human officers would.
00:18The AI detects if you jump a red light, drive the wrong way, or don't stick to street lanes.
00:23The system only targets motor vehicles, not pedal rickshaws.
00:27It is now deployed across 25 intersections, with a target to expand it to 500 locations.
00:34Dhaka police said they have already prosecuted hundreds of vehicles with a new system and issued warnings to many.
00:40But officials admit the technology faces hurdles.
00:43Some number plates were reportedly blurred or too small to identify.
00:47Even more researchers criticize the IT infrastructure behind the AI isn't sufficient.
00:53At police headquarters, human officers have to check and verify every single AI report.
00:58And this slows down the process.
01:00Others raise privacy concerns.
01:02They say the new system expands Dhaka's existing public surveillance.
01:06Do you think AI traffic control can help alleviate the gridlock?
