37c3 AI Surveillance at Hansaplatz

Hansaplatz, near Hamburg Central Station, is the AI surveillance laboratory of the city. The Hamburg Police is experimenting with behavior recognition. Using a Fraunhofer Institute stick figure AI, passers-by were “digitally skinned” and analyzed. During this surveillance walk, we take a closer look at this project and demand the city stop this surveillance.

This event is a registered parade (“demonstration”). The police have been asked to visibly take the cameras out of operation for the duration of the event. The police state that they will comply with the legal requirements.
