Thailand has unveiled its latest innovation in law enforcement: AI Police Cyborg 1.0, making its grand debut at the lively Songkran water festival on Tonson Road in Nakhon Pathom. The futuristic robot, an artificial intelligence-powered police figure, left both locals and tourists in awe as it carried out its security duties during one of Thailand's most spirited events.

 

This advanced cyborg, affectionately called Pol Col Nakhonpathom Plod Phai—meaning "Nakhon Pathom is safe"—is the product of a pioneering collaboration between Provincial Police Region 7, Nakhon Pathom Provincial Police, and the local municipality. Its introduction marks a significant leap into a tech-driven era of public safety.

 

Equipped with 360-degree AI-powered cameras, AI Police Cyborg 1.0 is built to enhance security during large gatherings. The robot excels in real-time surveillance, possessing the ability to identify threats accurately. Key features include:

 

• Facial Recognition & Blacklist Alerts: Instantly identifies individuals on watchlists, notifying human officers for prompt action.
• Suspect Tracking: Utilises facial and behavioural data to follow suspects throughout the festival.
• Advanced Search Tools: Finds individuals based on specific facial features and other traits.
• Weapon Detection: Can recognise actual weapons, distinguishing them from harmless festival items like water guns.
• Behaviour Monitoring: Keeps an eye out for signs of violence or physical aggression.

 

 

 

All gathered data is sent live to the Command and Control Centre in Nakhon Pathom, allowing human officers to coordinate effectively based on the robot's findings. Moreover, the AI Police Cyborg integrates drone and CCTV footage, creating a comprehensive security network.

 

The presence of this high-tech guardian added an intriguing twist to the water-soaked revelry, with festival-goers responding with a mix of amusement and appreciation. Many praised it as a forward-thinking measure that enhances safety without diminishing the fun.

 

AI Police Cyborg 1.0, with its sci-fi appearance and cutting-edge capabilities, is set to redefine the future of law enforcement in Thailand, especially in managing large public gatherings like Songkran. As Thailand embraces such innovations, the blend of tradition and technology becomes an exciting spectacle for both security and spectators, reported The Thaiger.

Left out "Key feature" - how they hold out their hand for the 'envelope'

 

water resistant?

holy cow. this is big news. 

it means thailand is embracing the AI/robotic revolution and will not lag behind other countries in utilizing these technologies, for better or for worse. 

if they put these things everywhere, street crime will be a thing of the past. 

also no more bouncers giving beatings in bars ... this is YUGE. 

 

Police droids can be reprogrammed...

Pol Col Nakhonpathom Plod Phai lives of what? The usual little brown manilla envelopes or discreet charging of batteries? 

They have money for such stuff so we can look forward to the incident, when Pol Col Nakhonpathom Plod Phai arrests Somchai the police man anytime soon?

Well... It can not walk around tracking you down to collect. However, it can notify the police when you arrive and tell them it is time to collect. We are not talking IRobot quality hmm... 

Another reason to not enforce traffic laws...leave it to AI...an automated lawman with a on/off switch.

Program these Robo cops to investigate the corrupt police force

So basically it's a security camera stuck inside a shop mannequin. Thailand 4.0? Not quite. 

Does it carry the bomb sniffer device they wasted money on years ago.

Only the good die young… Thais

 

No big deal. Tops has had robots for ages. They drive you mad with their incessant advertising.

If only some of that cost was spent on teaching Thais how to ride, fixing TM6/30 and the 90 day reporting system! 

I think in this case the AI is for Autistically  Impaired

I hope that it would at least make sure that the offender listed, then found by the cops, if they are willing to get off their butts instead of just watching the AI cop. Hopefully they  would actually have to have a paper fine, Not a usual bribe from the cop who finds them, would be a good idea. But TIT. Hard to see this actually working here. 

 

Pull the board!

But can this robot catch all the Russians having sex on the beach?

Just my thoughts 

Program them to ride motorbikes, 

Does it sit behind a desk.

Play phone games.

And Accept tea money..

 

• Advanced Search Tools: Finds individuals based on specific facial features and other traits.
• Behaviour Monitoring: Keeps an eye out for signs of violence or physical aggression.
• Fine Collection and Negotiation:   Under Development and soon to be released in Cyborg 2.0

 

My understanding is that the "Advanced Search Tools (facial recognition)" include the ability to differentiate between Foreigners and Thais. This feature is very important for police checkpoints to ensure who to pull over on the road for proper attire and documentaion investigation. "Behaviour Monitoring" includes foreign attire monitoring to ensure that Thai sensibilities and culture are not provoked.  This is just as important as keepig an eye out for signs of violence or physical aggression.

 

 

However useless it may turn out to be, Pol Col Plod cannot be any worse than the subhumans it replaces.........

Guys, Guys, Guys, this is AI Law enforcement of the future. No more brown envelopes. Y scan QR code to make your payments. The account is designated "Brown Envelope Tea Money" in your receipt.
