Scientists have unveiled a 500 megapixel cloud camera system in China that they say is capable of capturing the facial details of each individual in a crowd of tens of thousands of people, raising fears facial recognition monitoring could soon reach a new level.

With 500 megapixels, or 500 million pixels, each face is easily identifiable, and the AI technology can scan and identify a target within seconds.

Ms Hoffman said data generated from surveillance video can be “fed into a pool of data that, combined with AI processing, can generate tools for social control, including tools linked to the Social Credit System”.
