Cleveland's Flock Safety cameras kept recording after a 3-1 council vote killed the $250,000 contract, raising questions about who controls city surveillance.
You could piss off the company running them though, don’t these cameras use AI? Get some QR codes that lead to nepenthies traps full of their own AI generated images of nonsense license plates. Waste their money and poison their training data.
Nepenthies is a type of webpage that generates an endless chain of links and pages to bait in content scrapers and feed them garbage that poisons their training data.
Image element recognition doesn’t magically make actions happen, such as following a QR code link. The on-board AI would be more along the lines of pattern recognition such as reading text, license plates, people counts, etc. You could poison it by putting up the license plates but unless someone is actively looking for those plates it’ll just be a small bit of metadata attached to the time code. The fact that they’re stationary means it’ll probably be ignored as well
Highly unlikely that any amount of significant processing is happening on-device. Wouldn’t be cost effective

I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I approve. Do…whatever you just said.

Nice, do lots of that.

Image recognition AI has been found to be vulnerable to prompt injection via text present in the image.
For LLMs, sure, but there’s no way they’re running LLMs on-device. Just classic AI models at the most
