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).

Huh, I expected this to be available and in use already for years. they must be trolling us/mislead. It's easy to do and one of the more mature technology stacks... kind of embarrassing to ask for that unless they had been "held back"/by legislation but I didn't hear about any major change or they are expecting a major legal change soon and just want to be ready to go public with it then
Does that ban include smartphones...?
I wondered that too Hans. I wonder too what happens when they are tracking someone, via smartphone, who also carries/uses a dozen or so SIM cards perhaps all with with different id's.
Tracking someone is easy. Who to track remains the question. Solve that and the rest is easy.
