The AI trials used a combination of “smart” CCTV cameras that can detect objects or movements from images they capture and older cameras that have their videofeeds connected to cloud-based analysis.

Enough of these linked together coupled with facial recognition, and Amazon's got the means to track people at scale.

I mean they already make all the Amazon devices in a neighborhood talk to each other, why wouldn't they do this as well

Do people really not make a mask of their face in public? Who are these people going around riding trains with their emotional state visible on their face?

Next headline:

"Amazon 'AI Cameras' actually hundreds of underpaid workers in Pakistan."

(and just as - if not more - horrible as actual AI cameras would be)
