Defense One: ‘Siri, Watch That Guy’: Pentagon Seeks AI that Can Track Someone Across a City
The intel community's researchers are looking for datasets to help train their computers.
The U.S. intelligence community’s research arm wants to train algorithms to track people across sprawling video surveillance networks, and it needs more data to do it.
The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity is recruiting teams to build bigger, better datasets to train computer vision algorithms that would monitor people as they move through urban environments. The training data would improve the tech’s ability to link together footage from a large network of security cameras, allowing it to better track and identify potential targets.

WNU Editor: The applications of such a tech is obvious. This is one way that the intel community can track a suspected or known enemy fighter/leader/etc. in an urban conflict zone to identify targets and other enemy combatants.
Update: This type of technology will not be welcomed in San Francisco .... San Francisco Becomes 1st US City to Ban Facial Recognition Technology (NBC Bay Area).
