NEW: Transport for London quietly tested 11 AI algorithms for a year at one tube station—using the tech to try and spot crime as well as safety incidents.
Documents from TfL reveals some reasonably wild snippets from the trial:
— Over a 12 month trial, TfL issued 44,000 alerts for various types of behavior. These were mostly fare dodging, but also people in wheelchairs, 'aggressive' behavior, prams, and rough sleepers
— Police created training data for the AI systems by standing around the train station, when it was closed, holding a machete and hand gun in front of CCTV camera
— The AI mistook children following their parents through ticket gates as people who were trying to dodge fares. (They put a height limit on the AI).
— “The Al could not differentiate between an unfolded bike and normal bike and an e-scooter and children's scooter”
