Authorities in South Korea are set to use the country’s facial
recognition camera network to track people with COVID in real time and
ensure they are wearing face masks.

The system will first be tested in Bucheon, on the outskirts of Seoul,
in January before being extended to other areas of the country.

The scheme uses artificial intelligence and facial recognition
software linked to the city’s 10,820 security cameras “to track the
movements of active cases and their close contacts, and to determine
whether they wore a mask,” reports RT.

One official said the system was needed to reduce the workload on the
team tasked with tracking COVID cases in the city by relying on
information such as records of card purchases and cellphone location
data.

“Using facial recognition technology will enable that analysis in an
instant,” said Bucheon Mayor Jang Deog-cheon, adding that it reduces
the burden on workers having to spend “hours analyzing a single
[segment of] CCTV footage.”

    South Korea will soon roll out a pilot project to use artificial
intelligence, facial recognition and thousands of CCTV cameras to
track the movement of people infected with the coronavirus, despite
concerns about the invasion of privacy https://t.co/Q5YoDnyoF4

The system also eliminates the problem of citizens who get infected
with COVID but “who aren’t always truthful about their activities and
whereabouts,” reported Reuters.

Park Dae-chul, a lawmaker from the main opposition People Power Party.
called the plan a “neo-totalitarian idea.”

    “It is absolutely wrong to monitor and control the public via CCTV
using taxpayers’ money and without the consent from the public,” said
Park.

China, India, Japan, Poland, Russia, and multiple US states are also
exploring similar ways to keep track of the movements of people
infected with COVID.

Such technology is of course wide open to abuse, erases any kind of
expectation of privacy and is something that George Orwell would have
laughed off as inconceivable.

And yet here we are.
