\n China is seeking to stop pedestrians flouting traffic laws

Over-zealous AI systems in China have accused a woman pictured on the side of a bus of jaywalking.<\/p>\n

The face of Dong Mingzhu, who heads China’s biggest air-conditioner maker, was briefly shown on a billboard used to shame those who flout traffic laws.<\/p>\n

But the AI-based spotting system in Ningbo had reacted to the bus advert rather than Ms Dong herself.<\/p>\n

Police said they had deleted the photo and would update the jaywalker-spotting system to avoid similar mistakes.<\/p>\n

Hard work<\/h2>\n

Traffic police in many Chinese cities have started using a variety of methods to stop people crossing streets unlawfully. <\/p>\n

Many now rely on automatic camera-based systems that take pictures of people as they cross roads or mingle with traffic.<\/p>\n

The images and names of jaywalkers are featured on large displays and warn people about the legal consequences of their actions.<\/p>\n

Police in Ningbo said its public shaming of Ms Dong was a mistake as the AI system had spotted her face in an advert for Gree Electric Appliances – the business she runs. <\/p>\n

Local police acknowledged the mistake in a Sina Weibo blog and said the snap of Ms Dong had been deleted, reported the South China Morning Post.<\/a><\/p>\n

Work was now taking place to ensure the AI-system could differentiate between ads and people, it added.<\/p>\n

Gree Electric reacted by thanking the police for their hard work, the paper said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
