The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) of New York is investigating the use of AI technology for 'predictive prevention' of crime and dangerous activities on subway platforms. MTA chief security officer Michael Kemper shared that the agency is piloting AI systems that can detect troubling behavior and prompt security responses before incidents occur. Unlike previous measures, this initiative focuses on behavioral detection without relying on facial recognition technology. MTA representatives confirmed an ongoing collaboration with tech companies to optimize this technology for the unique demands of the subway environment.
If someone is acting out, irrational... it could potentially trigger an alert that would trigger a response from either security and/or the police department.
AI is the future... the MTA is working with tech companies literally right now to investigate what would work in the subway system.
