Ring,亚马逊的监控摄像头公司,已与一家名为Flock的人工智能监控摄像头制造商合作,该公司与执法部门共享数据。这使得使用Flock的警察机构可以向Ring用户请求监控录像用于调查,从而显著扩大了他们的监控网络。 Flock的技术扫描车牌并利用人工智能搜索,引发了对这类系统固有潜在种族偏见的担忧。与此同时,有报告显示,移民及海关执法局(ICE)、特勤局和海军可以访问Flock的摄像头网络。 考虑到Ring过去的数据安全问题,这项合作引发了隐私担忧;2023年,他们因允许员工无限制访问客户视频而被联邦贸易委员会(FTC)处以580万美元罚款。这种合作有效地扩大了执法部门的监控能力,同时也可能损害Ring用户录像的隐私和安全。

Amazon’s surveillance camera maker Ring announced a partnership on Thursday with Flock, a maker of AI-powered surveillance cameras that share footage with law enforcement.

Now agencies that use Flock can request that Ring doorbell users share footage to help with “evidence collection and investigative work.”

Flock cameras work by scanning the license plates and other identifying information about cars they see. Flock’s government and police customers can also make natural language searches of their video footage to find people who match specific descriptions. However, AI-powered technology used by law enforcement has been proven to exacerbate racial biases.

On the same day that Ring announced this partnership, 404 Media reported that ICE, the Secret Service, and the Navy had access to Flock’s network of cameras. By partnering with Ring, Flock could potentially access footage from millions more cameras.

Ring has long had a poor track record with keeping customers’ videos safe and secure. In 2023, the FTC ordered the company to pay $5.8 million over claims that employees and contractors had unrestricted access to customers’ videos for years.
