MIT Is Blanketing Its Entire Campus in AI-Powered Security Cameras

MIT plans to spend over $3 million on more than 500 AI-enabled cameras across campus.

The system is expected to collect facial data, track objects, and integrate with police video infrastructure via AI-RGUS.

University officials say footage will be kept up to 30 days and audio recording will be turned off.

Critics argue the move expands student surveillance while MIT cuts other services and spends heavily on security.
