00:00What if an AI flagged you as a potential drug dealer next time you're trying to board a flight?
00:05India plans to use AI-powered passenger profiling at airports to help crack down on drug trafficking.
00:11The technology would analyze your travel patterns and other risk factors to determine whether you should be flagged for additional
00:16checks.
00:17Authorities say this is necessary because criminal networks are increasingly using air travel to smuggle drugs like cocaine and heroin.
00:24And India isn't alone. Airports around the world are already using AI to improve security, manage growing passenger numbers and
00:31help track lost luggage.
00:33Supporters say AI can find patterns humans might miss and help identify suspected drug couriers.
00:38But privacy advocates worry. What if the system gets it wrong?
00:42You could be flagged simply because your travel history matches a risk profile.
00:46And because the AI system relies on personal data, questions remain about privacy, transparency and how that information is being
00:53protected.
00:54Would you be comfortable with AI screening you at the airport?
