Kazan plans to use artificial intelligence to identify drug dealers distributing drugs, using street surveillance cameras. The Deputy Minister of Digital Development of Public Administration, Information Technologies and Communications of Tatarstan, Albert Yakovlev, announced this, noting that the solution is in the process of development.
Yakovlev emphasized that artificial intelligence is a powerful tool that needs to be used correctly. Currently, developers are working on new mathematical models to recognize various scenarios of human behavior, which will help identify non-standard actions related to the distribution of prohibited substances. According to him, it is also planned to detect drug dealers using video cameras.
A network of video cameras is already functioning in Tatarstan, and the current solution is in the development stage. Yakovlev added that other regions are also showing interest in Tatarstan's solutions in the field of AI application, and the republic is actively sharing its experience.
Earlier, in July, it became known about the launch of a function to identify violators using artificial intelligence in the IT parks of Kazan and Naberezhnye Chelny. At the first stage, AI is focused on identifying smokers. The head of the Ministry of Digital Development of Tatarstan, Ayrat Khairullin, noted then that the introduction of next-generation video analytics opens up new opportunities for improving the level of security and efficiency in various areas of the republic.
