Vão espiar os miúdos - os coitados já não podem dar um beijo às escondidas a ninguém sem que o país veja, em directo. E vão vigiar os professores, claro. Deixa ver se aquele demorou mais dois minutos na casa-de-banho do que devia.
Russia to Install ‘Orwell’ Facial Recognition Tech in Every School – Vedomosti
More than 43,000 Russian schools will be equipped with facial recognition cameras ominously named “Orwell,” the Vedomosti business daily reported Tuesday.
The state technology firm Rusnano’s Orwell platform is described as a image-recognition monitoring system that uses computer vision algorithms. It will be integrated with face recognition developed by NTechLab, a subsidiary of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s close associate Sergei Chemezov’s Rostec conglomerate.
The technology will ensure children’s safety by monitoring their movements and identifying outsiders on the premises, said Yevgeny Lapshev, a spokesman for Rusnano’s subsidiary Elvees Neotech.
In the future, the surveillance technology could be used to take attendance, monitor teachers’ working hours and be used for distance learning, an NTechLab spokesperson told Vedomosti.
So far, Vedomosti reports that “Orwell” has been installed at more than 1,608 schools in 12 Russian regions.
