Indian Railways says it has installed more than 700 AI cameras at stations to monitor passenger movement and help manage crowds. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said officials could use the monitoring to redistribute passengers and act where heavy congestion is expected, according to the Financial Express.
Why it mattersThe report does not specify which stations have the cameras or how the system identifies crowding. Still, it is a concrete example of AI being used in busy public transport, where the promise of smoother movement comes with questions about how surveillance is handled.
Discuss: Should rail operators use AI cameras to manage crowds if they clearly explain what the system monitors and how its data is used?
