Flock is not an AI. That they have AI features on certain products does not mean "Flock" is an AI. That's the fallacy of composition.

Flock does have AI components (this one seems LLM based). Basically every ANPR system will also use some level of AI.

Also, on "reality would like a word". Why not just speak normally instead of using what seems like a high-school grade comeback?

The main Flock related issue here is that officers treat results that come out of the systems as gospel. The same thing has happened with face recognition systems. There is also the broader issue of access controls to Flock, 5A, and whether places should be building up a technology so powerful (surveillance infrastructure can easily be used for evil).

I said that because your position is absurd, and clearly false. Flock is an AI company, period. They use a multitude of different ai types in their “AI OS”.

And the issue is absolutely not just cops taking what they say as gospel; that’s a teeny tiny itty bitty fraction of the issue, which is in itself reductive. This is a massively multifaceted issue and to state otherwise means you don’t understand the scope.

Perhaps you should actually read TFA. Here’s another one. https://cybernews.com/privacy/flock-ai-os-investigate/
