Russia has developed a system of covert surveillance of people in public places, designed to assess the “degree of danger a person poses to those around them.” The system has already attracted the interest of the security services, said Yuri Anoshko, head of the Radio-Technical Institute named after Academician Mints, in an interview with ТАСС.
According to him, the developers “went much further than the function of identifying people”:
“We have developed basic profiling tools based on their online activity on platforms TikTok, YouTube, VKontakte, Facebook, Yandex and other services. The system enables creating a profile of a person and assessing the degree of threat to people based on a combination of characteristic features as they pass through the screening complex.”
It also incorporates a system for recognizing microexpressions and gait. Its underlying technology is based on electromagnetic waves in the millimetre- and terahertz-range. The system is designed to conduct screening without stopping people.
Anoshko said that the complexes have already been ordered by some of Russia’s security structures.
Earlier, Russian authorities expressed interest in creating an AI platform capable of conduct psychoanalysis of a person based on social media posts.
