i dont thenk that.

what an incredible idea they have the gentlemen continue sharing things of this type I like!

Reminded me of A Brave New World or 1984. Very interesting!

wow
really technology and news photography post...
i appreciate your travel...
thanks for sharing...

>As part of the Sinagpore Smart Nation project, it is estimated that this new power pole project will be launched sometime next year. And he is known as the Lamppost-as-a-Platform (LaaP) pilot.

Maybe in terms of security it's a great idea, but for the citizenry it would be something like not having privacy, they could see the passage of everyone at every moment, this causes me some fear, I would always feel watched, apparently men could not have a second girlfriend, soon they would discover it LOL.

Very similar to China's AI CCTV technology. Will be interesting to see how they can keep the information secure. Thanks for the great post!

I have mixed feelings on this idea.

It would definitely be an impressive technological feat.

But, at the same time, it raises very serious privacy concerns.  And you are right, governments (and even private industry) have shown no capacity to manage privacy concerns. 

I say no. 

I have to admit though, Singapore seems miles ahead of everyone else technologically.  

I hope to someday visit the Solar Forest.  Beautiful artistry!

La tecnología se impone en singapur. gracias por informar, buen post.

Anyone who thinks this is a good idea needs to have their head checked! In case you've never been there, Singapore is NOT a hotbed for crime. There is no need for facial recognition systems on every corner of every street!  Avoid anything that has "smart" in its title as that will be all connected and run using 5G, which spells disaster for people on many different levels and the environment! https://steemit.com/life/@tgheretic/the-5g-smart-grid-will-literally-destroy-our-humanity
It's time for people to stop sleepwalking into a technological dystopian nightmare (controlled by psychopaths) just because people may want a faster connection or a cool new device! From the general comments I continually see on steemit posts across a spectrum of topics, it sound like everybody is fucking retarded! If this is the future of humanity, nuclear bombs falling from the sky would be a welcomed site! Just get it over with already.

That's good and bad in the same time.

have been to Singapore just a few weeks ago for a vacation. I really admire the cleanliness and the discipline of the country considering the fact that they are multi races consisting of 76% Chinese,18% Indians(Tamil tribe) and 6% Malays. with this new technology, Singapore will be one of the most safest city to visit since one of their main revenue is tourism.

GovTech? Are you f*cking kidding me? Our brave new future is looking more and more, uh, confined/measured/controlled by the day. From the brilliant bureaucrats who outlawed gum chewing comes the fully surveilled city. So now when you break a petty, ridiculous law you can be identified/fined/jailed and socially ousted from society in less than a minute. Great fun.

Half of my family lives in Malaysia...it's because of bullshit like this that they never cross the Second Link into singapore... and to be clear, malaysia is no wonderland of freedom.

I am not sure if you have heard of Maxx Igan but he has a lot to say about the smart grid and how we need to wake up.

You know. I keep wondering how many cameras I go through from the time out of the apartment to just across the street. By the time I'm at the traffic lights to cross the road, I think I'm already in 3. When I cross the road, I think there is another 2 or 3. 
There were some controversy about taxis having in-cameras and it was concluded that they are allow (too many people are running away without paying :-) but they are not allow to upload or post the pictures or video anywhere. Guess more so for reporting to police.

The days of having privacy are quickly coming to a close. I doubt China is the only country invested in these facial recognition cameras. 🐓🐓

One of the most frightening things I've ever read.
