AI Cameras Boost UK Road Safety Amid Privacy Concerns

AI technology is becoming increasingly prevalent, with nearly 70% of companies worldwide adopting it, and in the UK, AI-powered cameras have been introduced to improve road safety by detecting speeding, mobile phone use, and seatbelt violations. This has led to a 14% surge in speeding fines over the past three years. Since their introduction in 2021, these cameras have caught over 2,300 drivers, prompting expansion to more regions. However, concerns persist among drivers regarding privacy invasion and the potential for incorrect fines. Despite these concerns, the use of AI cameras is considered a positive step towards enhancing road safety and deterring traffic violations.
