Description (in English)
Ring™ Log is an experiment in speculative surveillance.
Amazon's Ring™ doorbells are motion-activated high definition surveillance cameras. Once triggered, Ring™ cameras transmit video to the Ring™ app and Ring™ servers, where the video footage is preserved for future viewing.
What happens when Amazon begins using AI object detection to identify, categorize, and report what the Ring™ camera sees?
Imagine a year from now, Halloween night, October 31, 2020. What would Ring™ see? What would Ring™ report? And what happens when the program fails, as programs always do?
