SEPTA will officially use AI to ticket cars parked illegally in bus lanes - Lemmy.World

I’m here for this. Finally a positive feedback loop where people are discouraged from illegally parking, transit becomes more efficient, and SEPTA gains a new funding source
I just wish it didn’t have to go through the PPA

I like the idea in theory, and it’s one of the seemingly rare good uses of AI. My concern is that the bill doesn’t have any requirement for outside auditing of the system, and as far as I’ve seen, the data use/storage policies are nowhere to be found for public review.

I emailed my councilperson about this, but haven’t gotten a response yet.

Thanks for your insight. I will dig deeper into this as well
Surely you’re not implying you think the PPA could abuse this?
I’m actually not nearly as worried about PPA abusing this as I am about the company that administers the software.
