AI-powered mannequins would soon take charge to fight crimes in Bengaluru. According to the sources, India's tech city is all set to leverage disruptive technologies like artificial intelligence to empower mannequins to fight crime, spot traffic offenders, drunk drivers, and criminals across the city. These mannequins would not be fixed in a permanent location, would operate in a hide-and-seek mode.

"We will soon have artificial eyes fixed in mannequins as cameras with a small AI-linked computing device inside them for facial recognition through a well-connected central server," says Bhaskar Rao, Police Commissioner, Bengaluru. He further adds, "The AI software will locate the culprits, tip off the police about the number of violations one has committed, count the traffic slips registered against the same vehicle, estimate the penalty amount and alert the police"

These mannequins would have the potential to identify drunk driver even from a far-away junction and could relay information to the control room through facial recognition. The mannequins would have an outer covering of the dummy police with its AI-powered heart for futuristic technologies.

The global tech giants Google, Microsoft and Walmart, innovative centres and universities like Indian Institute of Science (IISc) are located in Bengaluru. Besides, the city's modern police enforcement practices make Bengaluru an ideal place to invent and innovate.

Presently, the city Armed Reserve Police Service (CARP), which guard property and weapons, has close to 37 engineers in its ranks as constables, and the senior IPS officers intents to utilize these technical resources. Two international police departments American and French have already studied the mannequin innovations of the Bengaluru police.

"The Paris police also discussed the mannequins in their weekly meeting. It is not that we copy things from other countries, but they learn from us too. No harm in learning from each other," states Bhaskar. "I have to store a computer inside and connect power to the mannequin. Suppose you put movable arms, if you add some robotics, then the shape of the whole thing will change," he adds.

The police department is looking for more personalized mannequins to meet the police enforcement requirements.
