SEPTA ended the AI surveillance program amid a spike in violent crime across the transit system.
SEPTA has abandoned, amid a surge in violent crime, an artificial intelligence surveillance program meant to detect guns on the transit system.video analytics program, said Andrew Busch, spokesperson for SEPTA. The transit agency, according to Busch, decided to end its ZeroEyes pilot program because the software was incompatible with SEPTA’s analog security camera system, and as part of a larger effort to boost staffing in its police department.
The program was meant to layer its software over SEPTA’s existing security cameras, enabling AI to identify guns and alert local law enforcement within three to five seconds of detection, a SEPTA spokesperson said. Former military and law enforcement specialists were to monitor and verify every detection from ZeroEyes’ operations center, the spokesperson said.
It is unclear how many arrests were made because of ZeroEyes. What ZeroEyes’ representatives did see was that the software was no match for SEPTA’s outdated technology.
