Fact is, that tech is already in use everyday, I don't think they are going to make any "special use for a special day" .. it's already happening on a daily bases. Now the new step will be ( if they are not already doing ) using AI to analyse the data and correlate it. I don't even know why they say it when they are probably doing it since years already.

@guyholmes "He’s easy to spot - sticky-out ears and a big hat." Makes me wonder about cause and effect. Does wearing a solid gold hat make your ears stick out, or are sticky-out ears an evolutionary adaptation in royals to stop the big hat sliding over their eyes?
