Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine different subjective income levels perceptions of security in relation to intelligent camera surveillance. The police argue that the intelligent surveillance cameras will increase the experience of feeling secure. Camera surveillance was a controversial practice even before the implementation of AI and its implementation means that "smart" functions can be set up such as face recognition, which are based on learning algorithms. These have however shown to lack objectivity and it is even confirmed that the monitoring systems have racist tendencies. This has been shown to result in the intelligent camera suspecting innocent people due to their skin tone, which can lead to individuals being subjected to... (More)
The aim of this study is to examine different subjective income levels perceptions of security in relation to intelligent camera surveillance. The police argue that the intelligent surveillance cameras will increase the experience of feeling secure. Camera surveillance was a controversial practice even before the implementation of AI and its implementation means that "smart" functions can be set up such as face recognition, which are based on learning algorithms. These have however shown to lack objectivity and it is even confirmed that the monitoring systems have racist tendencies. This has been shown to result in the intelligent camera suspecting innocent people due to their skin tone, which can lead to individuals being subjected to double victimization. The second aim of this study is to analyze how intelligent camera surveillance can be interpreted as a means of power through its disciplining and stigmatizing effects. A quantitative survey was distributed to examine the experience of feeling secure. A thematic analysis has been applied to analyze the result. The theoretical frameworks that are used are “Foucaultian theory” and “social control”, whereas stigmatization is used as an additional perspective. A conclusion is that the respondents in the lower income level suffer from the biased and partial tendencies of the intelligent camera. The main conclusion however, is that the implementation of the intelligent surveillance camera is complex and needs to be studied further in the future. (Less)
