‘Mobile AI camera’ nets French tourist for overstay
‘Mobile AI camera’ nets French tourist for overstay — confirmed details at this stage for Phuket readers.
A French tourist was apprehended in Phuket on March 31 after a “mobile AI camera” system flagged him for overstaying his visa, immigration police said. The arrest marks one of the first publicized uses of the new technology to identify foreigners violating immigration rules on the island.
AI Surveillance System in Action
Officers said the camera system scanned crowds in a busy area of Patong and matched the man’s face to immigration records. The French national, whose name was not released, was found to have exceeded his permitted stay in Thailand.
Immigration authorities stated the AI system cross-references live images with a database of visa holders and alerts police to possible overstays. The technology is currently in trial deployment at several tourist hotspots in Phuket, officials confirmed.
