QUOTE: "Russia’s Digital Development Ministry has proposed the creation of a “platform for processing and storing data from surveillance cameras” in Russian cities. According to Kommersant, the idea was laid out in a presentation by Maksut Shadaev, the head of the ministry.
The ministry expects the platform to have access to regional video surveillance systems, as well as cameras at the entrances of apartment buildings, which will be installed at the expense of funds for capital repairs. “Certain categories of owners”, the ministry specified, will be obliged to install and connect video cameras at their own expense. Shadaev’s presentation says that the data will be analyzed using face and image recognition technology."
They expect the 5,000,000 unified surveillance cameras to be automatically analyzed by AI by 2030.
