![]() IBM partnered with Chinese defense contractor Huadi in 2009 to develop predictive policing systems for the 'Golden Shield' project, AP reports, citing classified government blueprints. The technology enabled mass detentions in Xinjiang, where administrators assigned 100-point risk scores to Uyghurs with deductions for growing beards or being aged 15-55. Dell promoted a laptop with 'all-race recognition' capabilities on its WeChat account in 2019. Thermo Fisher Scientific marketed DNA kits as 'designed' for ethnic minorities including Uyghurs and Tibetans until August 2024. Oracle, Microsoft, HP, Cisco, Intel, NVIDIA, and VMware sold geographic mapping software, facial recognition systems, and cloud infrastructure to Chinese police through the 2010s. The surveillance network tracks 'key persons' whose movements are restricted and monitored, with one estimate suggesting 55,000 to 110,000 people were placed under residential surveillance in the past decade. China now has more surveillance cameras than the rest of the world combined. Read more of this story at Slashdot.
