Chinese AI infrared sensor to find potential infected people?

A novel coronavirus spreading all over the world, centering on Wuhan, China. China is responding with speed, such as building a hospital in 10 days to accommodate infected patients. Recently, it is said that using an AI infrared sensor made by Baidu to inspect passengers on trains or airplanes at stations or airports and find potential infected people.

This test detects whether a person’s face has a fever while walking. For example, one person stops at a checkpoint to be tested. It is being confirmed by infrared rays without even knowing it. It is said that this test is being introduced in large cities such as Beijing and Shenzhen, and is conducting a smooth test using AI and big data.

In China, which is realizing a dystopian surveillance society, for example, the Chinese public security has introduced face authentication sunglasses, and high schools have adopted a student monitoring system. As a result, it is said that in the past, a database of over 1.8 million women was used to indicate whether or not they could reproduce, so it can be said that personal information leakage or misuse is also serious.
