In Iran, the government is using artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor its people. AI is a type of computer program that can quickly analyze large amounts of information. Iran uses cameras, computers, and special software to keep track of what people do online and in public places.
How Does AI Help Iran Monitor People?
The government places security cameras in cities, stores, and even schools. These cameras connect to powerful computers with special hardware that helps process large amounts of data. Here are some of the main computer parts used in monitoring devices:
- CPU (Central Processing Unit): The “brain” of the computer that processes video from security cameras.
- RAM (Random Access Memory): Stores information temporarily so AI can analyze images and sound quickly.
- Motherboard: The main circuit board that connects all parts of the computer, including the camera systems.
- Storage Devices (Hard Drive or SSD): Saves large amounts of data, including videos and personal information.
These parts work together with AI software to identify people’s faces, read their messages, and even listen to what they say. The government can use this to find and arrest people who speak out against their leaders.
Other Ways AI is Used
- AI helps block certain websites and news articles that the government does not want people to see.
- AI can track phone calls and text messages to look for words the government considers dangerous.
- AI can even follow cars and buses by recognizing license plates with special cameras.
Some people worry that AI takes away their freedom and privacy. Others believe the government should only use AI for safety and not to control people’s daily lives.
