In China they can already identify citizens by their way of walking

Artificial intelligences to the services of state security forces are giving much to talk about, and when the subject has to do with surveillance, China is the mirror in which everyone wants to look at themselves. So much so that development of this type of technology takes the lead in the Asian country, and its researchers are already teaching the artificial intelligence used for surveillance to identify.And it is that in the country of 170 million security cameras and biometric identification, looking for patterns in the way of walking can be extremely effective when facial recognition systems do not work, something that many are considering as a false step to the massive identification of citizens without even having the data of their face. The system is able to identify you in any situation, which aggravates the situation in a country where massive surveillance has been giving a lot of talk for a couple of years.The technology capable of this milestone, that of recognizing people only for their walking or body building, is being developed by Chinese Watrix artificial intelligence company and is already being used by police in Beijing and Shanghai, where they are identifying Chinese citizens even when their face is hidden or are back. the cameras that use the Chinese video surveillance system in real time.Now the milestone is to see if the system is capable of being extended beyond big cities and, if it is indeed functional, China will have the world's most advanced identification system in the country with the world's largest citizens, capable of even naming to a simple human figure by how it moves.
