China Using ‘Emotion Recognition Technology’ to Arrest People

China’s state-run Global Times boasted in an article on Thursday that Chinese people are increasingly becoming accustomed to the use of “emotion recognition technology,” artificial intelligence that allows the government to track human feelings, as part of everyday life.

The Global Times illustrated the usefulness of this technology with an example in which police arrest passengers of a car after using artificial intelligence to discover drugs in their car. “Emotion recognition technology” tells the officers that the passengers are more nervous than the average person at a checkpoint, which they use as an excuse to search the car.

The notoriously repressive Communist Party is allegedly applying “emotional recognition technology” in “various fields including health, anti-terrorism, and urban security,” according to the Global Times.

The development of this technology to criminalize feelings follows increasingly alarming developments in Chinese law enforcement, most recently the revelation that Chinese technology giant Huawei is developing facial recognition technology that can identify a person’s ethnicity, making it easier for Chinese police to persecute members of the Uyghur ethnic minority. Multiple governments around the world, including the current and past administration of the United States, have accused China of committing genocide against the Uyghur people.

Reminds me of a Jim Breuer joke:
Precrime Cop:ARE YOU WASTED?
Brewer:No man i was born looking this way!

[blueplum]

the biggest question is,why are the Chinese people allowing this? Have they reached ‘sheep’ stage already?

[RC one]

True that.

They should not forget that some people are unaccustomed to having any contact with the law whatsoever, save the rare traffic ticket. These folks are going to be keyed up for the first hour or so.

You think the CCP gives a hoot?

If you are evil (and I think we agree the CCP is evil, maybe as evil as democrats) punishing a Innocent harshly produces as valuable an obedience fear based reaction as punishing the guilty.

The rolling computer terminals that are today’s local police cars could easily incorporate similar technology. They already sit in the media and passively scan your cars license plate as you roll my. How much harder would it be to scan your face?

Too busy enjoying their new affluence. But thats the thing about revolutions — they don’t seem to happen until physical survival is assured and people can start worrying about things like Liberty.
