Moscow is adding facial recognition to CCTVs to ID criminals
Moscow's local authorities are giving the city's 170,000 security cameras a power-up. According to Bloomberg, they're adding facial recognition tech to the CCTV network with the intention of IDing criminals on the streets. Moscow's extensive network of security cams have been keeping an eye on the city and recording millions of hours of video since 2012.

Authorities believe facial recognition is the answer to that problem.
