A partnership with police will permit some Amazon Echo owners to report crimes directly through their smart speakers.

Classified documents from the Snowden archive reveal the NSA has been developing technology to automatically identify a speaker from the sound of their voice.

Axon, formerly known as Taser, will allow private individuals to upload video evidence of “a crime, suspicious activity, or event" to its cloud platform.

The NYPD has used face recognition since at least 2011 but refuses to provide any information about how the technology is used.

Taser is collecting an unprecedented video archive of law enforcement encounters — and it wants to use AI and “deep learning” to predict criminal behavior.
