"Big Apple's Big Brother: NYC Subway Enlists AI to Crack Down on Fare Evaders. In a bid to improve safety and reduce fare evasion, New York City's subway system has begun using artificial intelligence to monitor passengers in restricted zones. The AI-powered system can detect and flag riders who enter areas they're not authorized to be in, even if they've paid their fare.

But some have raised concerns about the potential for overreach and invasion of passenger privacy."
