  • King Charles III's Coronation will go down in history as the UK's biggest live facial recognition operation and one of the biggest live biometric operations in world history to maintain security
  • New AI facial recognition is highly controversial, can be inaccurate and is viewed by some critics as a violation of human rights as it scans faces in massive crowds, such as those in London this weekend, looking for matches against terrorist and criminal lists, unbeknownst to the unaware pedestrian
  • The Coronation is raising unique security concerns with 1.2 million partying in London for the historic event
  • To maintain peace and security, London police and the British Secret Service M15, with their Operation Golden Globe, are deploying the latest in security and surveillance technologies:
  • Live, state-of-the-art, biometric AI facial recognition camera technology
  • Aerial surveillance by highly advanced drones, Airbus helicopters and planes
  • Intelligence data bases
  • Bomb proof Nerve Center for command and control
  • On top of the technologies, 11,500 police officers, special forces, snipers, bomb sniffing police dogs, marine patrols and more are all on duty to maintain peace and security at the historic event.
