Digital artist Dries Depoorter created an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that tracks footage of politicians engaged in debate. Then, publicly, facial arrests of anyone who was distracted by their phones while parliament was in progress would show up and spread.
It is known that all meetings of the Flemish government in Belgium are broadcast on YouTube. Well, this is where Depoorter uses AI software to track footage and scan visible cell phones. When tracking phone use, it uses facial recognition to find out which politicians were distracted from the meeting.
He then published the clip on Twitter and Instagram, and included the perpetrator’s social media username, while telling them to stay focused. Through the official Depoorter website, it is explained that the machine will be looking for old records, so not for the latest close -up recordings.
Every meeting of the flemish government in Belgium was broadcast live on the YouTube channel.
The software is searching the phone and trying to identify the disturbed politician. This with the help of AI. The results were then posted to social with the politician tagged. By @driesdepoorter pic.twitter.com/QUQHiYx2HI

Some people think that the idea of AI is great, but some think that phones are now a pretty productive tool. Maybe politicians consult with prominent figures or check important emails.
What do you think?
