Warwickshire-based Conflow Power Group Limited (CPG) says networked together its solar-powered iLamp units "double as a revenue-generating distributed AI data centre". ...

"..The lampposts can also operate as AI-powered surveillance cameras.

It will allow us to follow your every step. Every move you make. We'll be watching you.

Just like China asks for proof of good behavior for people trying to access services like finance, travel or entertainment."
