AI Emotion-Detection Software Tested on Uyghurs
BBC ^ | 5/25/2021 | Jane Wakefield

Posted on 05/25/2021 11:50:34 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A camera system that uses AI and facial recognition intended to reveal states of emotion has been tested on Uyghurs in Xinjiang, the BBC has been told.

A software engineer claimed to have installed such systems in police stations in the province.

A human rights advocate who was shown the evidence described it as shocking.

The Chinese embassy in London has not responded directly to the claims but says political and social rights in all ethnic groups are guaranteed.

Xinjiang is home to 12 million ethnic minority Uyghurs, most of whom are Muslim.

Citizens in the province are under daily surveillance. The area is also home to highly controversial "re-education centres", called high security detention camps by human rights groups, where it is estimated that more than a million people have been held.

Beijing has always argued that surveillance is necessary in the region because it says separatists who want to set up their own state have killed hundreds of people in terror attacks.

The wife of a couple that we know is from that area. Here grandfather was sent there years ago as he was a “capitalist” - he owned a small shop.

The man (American) visited her home and was saying how it was a large concentration camp. It was pretty funny - the wife argued that it wasn’t.

“Ok - so to get into the city where your parents live - out in the middle of nowhere - you have to drive through two checkpoints and they check our documents and search the car. And everywhere we go there are at least two cameras pointed at you! It’s a concentration camp!”

The system works perfectly. It says the dude below is ready to explode and chop off your head, and the heads of everyone in your family.

It says the same thing about the next fellow. Perfect AI performance!

The same Liberals who ask how the Free world could allow Nazi atrocities like concentration camps (Jews) experimenting on people (Jews) have no problem whatsoever with Red China doing the same.

Neither. I think that it is just what was normal to her growing up there. And perhaps defensive of her home and childhood.
