As smart monitoring systems become more prevalent in public spaces, the line between safety and privacy becomes increasingly blurred. How do we leverage AI to detect antisocial behaviour without crossing ethical boundaries? At Purple Transform, we’re committed to finding that balance by creating AI solutions that are as fair as they are effective.
Implementing these systems in public spaces raises valid concerns about privacy and data protection. We prioritise transparency by clearly communicating what data is being collected, how it is processed and who has access to it.
Peter Shearman, Industry Specialist Advisor at Purple Transform, shared:
"Trust is at the heart of everything we do. Our AI solutions are designed to uphold privacy while still delivering crucial safety insights."
SiYtE employs privacy-by-design principles, ensuring that identities are pseudonymised and data is processed locally where possible. Additionally, all data is managed in compliance with GDPR and other regulatory standards, safeguarding the rights of both residents and visitors.
Effective ASB detection relies on accurate, fair and unbiased algorithms. Our AI models are trained using diverse datasets to mitigate the risk of false positives and ensure that detection capabilities are equally effective across all demographics.
Public engagement is also crucial. Clear signage and public awareness campaigns can help build trust around smart monitoring systems. Proactive communication ensures that community members understand the purpose and benefits of ASB detection technologies.
Peter Shearman, added:
"Implementing ASB detection is about fostering safer and more inclusive public spaces. We’re committed to creating ethical solutions that keep communities protected without infringing on privacy."
