Dubai Police will use Artificial Intelligence before deciding whether or not to issue fines to people for moving about during the 24-hour coronavirus sterilisation programme
Brigadier Saif Muhair Al Mazroui, Director of the Traffic Department at Dubai Police, said that AI is being used along with speed radars to identify which vehicles have movement permits or belong to people working within vital sectors.
People who go out for essential purposes during the 24-hour sterilisation programme in the emirate which is set to last two weeks, need to get move permit.
However, even if a person didn’t get a permit and went out for essential purposes, the system can identify your path and check if you went out for an unnecessary matter.
Al Mazroui added that those going out for food should also get a proper amount so they don’t have to keep returning to the shop every day.
“It’s illogical for someone to go every day to the shops to buy food,” he said. “People should buy enough food every two or three days to reduce the movement on the roads,” he added.
“Reducing the movement in the emirate will make the sterlisation faster. Before we needed one week to sterlise one area in Dubai, but now we can sterlise the area in one day,” he added.
