Abu Dhabi: The police authorities in the emirate of Dubai have so far arrested 550 people since January, thanks to a smart system powered by artificial intelligence.
Those arrested included 109 who were wanted in connection to criminal cases, while the remaining 441 ones are suspected of involvements in different crimes, reported Khaleej Times.
The 'smart area' system helped decrease the number of 'disturbing crimes' from 25 reported in 2017 to one this year.
“The system uses face recognition cameras to flag wanted criminals and suspects”, said Major-General Khalil Ibrahim Al-Mansouri, assistant commander-in-chief of the Dubai Police for criminal investigation.
