California’s plan to boost safety with 480 new AI-powered cameras sparks concerns over mass surveillance and the erosion of privacy.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced that 480 new cameras are being installed “along freeways and in Oakland to make the area safer.”

Describing the cameras as “high tech,” the Democrat said in a video posted on X that this will “help law enforcement identify vehicles linked to crimes using real-time information and alerts.”
