flag Hong Kong to expand surveillance to 60,000 AI-powered cameras by 2028, with real-time use starting late 2025.

flag Hong Kong plans to expand its surveillance network to 60,000 cameras by 2028, adding AI-powered facial recognition to its existing system, with real-time use potentially starting by late 2025. flag The SmartView programme, aimed at boosting crime prevention and national security, has already contributed to over 400 solved cases and 787 arrests. flag While officials highlight public safety benefits, concerns persist over privacy, false matches, and lack of oversight. flag The privacy watchdog has not confirmed involvement, and experts question existing legal safeguards. flag The European Union has banned such surveillance in public spaces, except under strict conditions.
