Opinion | Taking the initiative to analyze the expressions of the audience, this World Cup is a bit 'smart'

The 2022 World Cup in Qatar is about to begin. This is the first World Cup in the history of the Arab world and the Middle East. It will also be the World Cup with the highest artificial intelligence content.

It is understood that Qatar has deployed 22,000 cameras and AI facial recognition systems in eight stadiums. More than 100 technicians will monitor the footage at the command and control center. They can adjust the stadium temperature and check the Crowd flow, AI technology is used to analyze facial expressions to determine whether the audience is angry, and even find a lost child in a sea of ​​​​people and pick out smokers. In terms of privacy, relevant personnel stated that all content captured by the camera will be stored for no more than 120 days.

Our science and technology message board "opinions" are as follows

@太波波:According to reports, these 8 stadiums can accommodate 380,000 people. Corresponding to 380,000 seats, divided by the 22,000 cameras, each camera is responsible for 18 seats. What’s impressive is that Huawei had a binocular camera a few years ago that could capture 200 faces instantly. My first reaction was actually whether the German coach Loew can still happily pick his nose and eat it. . . But AI should be used as little as possible on the field. The charm of football lies in the uncertainties in the confrontation between people. If AI dominates the field, it may become a mechanical sport without any fun.

@黑古龙咚: The stadium is equipped with 22,000 cameras and AI facial recognition systems. It’s scary to see a ball being stared at by so many pairs of “eyes”, and I can’t help but sigh: Where is the privacy? But I still remember the joke made by AI in a football match two years ago. An AI-controlled camera was used to replace the human cameraman. As a result, the AI ​​mistook the bald player for a football and swayed persistently to follow his pace. As a result, it missed the goal. The audience was extremely angry. It can be seen that artificial intelligence is good, but don’t overuse it. After all, AI cannot replace people.

@See you on Monday: From a security perspective, certain monitoring methods are necessary. Although AI is still imprecise, it can maintain order at the venue and avoid large-scale violence. It's important.
