OPINION: Privacy is the core value of smart city
What is the core value of a smart city? This topic recently aroused much interest.
The practice of major cities in developing smart city today seems quite similar. They use open data, smart lamp posts, sensors and closed circuit TV (CCTV) to detect road conditions for improving traffic, while at the same time collecting lots of sensitive information such as people’s face and car plate number. As machine learning can identify people’s faces in live video feeds, recorded video footage or still photos with great accuracy, the rapid advance of facial recognition has raised big ethical conundrums.
