Mitsubishi Electric develops crowd monitoring AI 
Mitsubishi Electric has developed an artificial intelligence system that can monitor crowds and pick out specific individuals. Mitsubishi plans to introduce the surveillance system by the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to scan venues and commercial areas for suspicious behaviour and people in need. However, for the system to effectively single out individuals it must raise its level of detection precision. Hidenobu Kanda, chief of Mitsubishi's security systems department, said the company will have to feed more data to its deep-learning system to improve accuracy.
