In a move that could change the landscape of public safety in downtown San Antonio, the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) and Centro San Antonio are proposing a sweeping plan to implement a network of security cameras armed with artificial intelligence (AI) software. These cameras are intended to enhance security and expedite police response times. SAPD Chief William McManus articulated the necessity for such technology during Tuesday’s budget meeting, pointing out that the cameras would target behavior that is not typical for that area, such as unexpected crowds and accidents, as KENS 5 reported.
