flag Edmonton tests AI body cams with facial recognition on 7,000 high-risk individuals; pilot runs through Dec 2025.

flag Edmonton, Canada, is testing AI-powered body cameras with facial recognition that scan for about 7,000 individuals on a high-risk watch list, including those with violent histories or outstanding warrants. flag The pilot, led by Axon and Edmonton Police, is framed as early-stage research to improve officer safety, not a product launch, despite Axon’s past pause on facial recognition due to ethical concerns. flag Critics warn of insufficient public oversight, privacy risks, and known biases in the technology. flag The program runs through December 2025 and could influence policing practices in North America and beyond.
