TOKYO -- Japanese police will begin testing security cameras equipped with AI-based technology to protect high-profile public figures, Nikkei has learned, as the country mourns the anniversary of the fatal shooting of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Saturday. The technology could lead to the detection of suspicious activity, supplementing existing security measures.
The National Police Agency aims to launch the testing sometime during the current fiscal year, which will end in March 2024.
