@goodgoodgoodco: Amid growing scrutiny over AI-powered Flock surveillance cameras, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed an executive order blocking state agencies from spending money on the devices. Flock cameras are a unique type of license plate reader that utilize AI to track and store data on vehicle characteristics including make, model, and color, and details like bumper stickers and dents. Democratic and Republican lawmakers have begun raising concerns about the broad scale of Flock’s network and the amount of data each camera captures.
