Extensive concerns of management:

• Protection of personal data privacy risks and information collected from cameras
• Lack of transparency on who, how and what conditions the collected data are shared
• Compliance of problems and contractual requirements during the purchase process
• The lack of control mechanisms by the society of the system
• Long-term cost and maintenance obligations Home

Flock is a platform supported by the Israeli AI company Corsight and uses facial recognition technology. Under the supervision of public field, it was aimed to use vehicle tracking and criminal investigations. However, the emerging AI capabilities of this technology led to new discussions, questioned by privacy defenders in many regions.
