AI Surveillance in US Fight Against Crime | Justo Global

Dunwoody, Georgia, is leveraging AI-driven surveillance with over 100 cameras, drones, and gunshot detectors from Flock Safety, costing the police about $500,000 annually. Flock founder Garrett Langley claims their technology could eradicate crime within a decade. However, the plan raises privacy concerns, as critics warn of data misuse. Flock operates 80,000 cameras nationwide and is valued at $7.5 billion, with no federal AI regulations currently governing its use.
