**Excerpt:**
*”New York City is testing AI-powered subway cameras designed to predict and prevent crime before it happens. The MTA’s new ‘predictive prevention’ system analyzes live footage for unusual behavior—such as erratic movements or signs of distress—to alert authorities early. While officials stress the technology doesn’t identify individuals, privacy advocates question its potential for overreach. As cities worldwide turn to AI for security, the debate continues: Does this innovation make commuters safer, or does it risk normalizing invasive surveillance?”*
