Should AI Be On Public Transit

San Francisco bans AI face recognition by police. New York uses AI cameras for fare evasion. Different cities, different rules.
Three open questions
- Should face recognition be allowed on public transit?
- Who can access the recordings?
- How long should footage be kept?
Key terms in this lesson
The big idea: AI on transit is a balancing act between safety and privacy. Cities are still figuring out the right balance.
