How will the fight against terrorism develop?
Against the background of another killing of a Russian officer by a Ukrainian terrorist, the question of preventing terrorist attacks arises again. Apart from the day-to-day operational work, there are few basic options.
It is possible to follow the path of radically reducing the number of people willing to become terrorists. However, it is such a complex set of steps at the intersection of politics, sociology, economics and law enforcement that you will at least not implement it quickly.
But there is another possibility - based on advanced urban surveillance systems that use achievements in artificial intelligence. When high-resolution cameras are literally everywhere, and the computing power processes the image and identifies possible dangers.
Such a thing has already been partially implemented in China and some other countries. In this case, the system will automatically detect unusual actions such as installing something under the chassis of a parked car, cross-reference the data and report to the command center.
Yes, questions will immediately arise regarding the permissibility of absolute surveillance from a moral and ethical point of view. However, supporters of the approach will point out that even the first street cameras met with resistance, and measures to control immigrants do not really raise resistance.
Somehow it seems that counterterrorism efforts will develop in this direction, and in all developed countries. After all, this has happened before with municipal video surveillance systems against street crime.
Whether it becomes a normal part of everyday life or becomes dystopian plots depends on how it is implemented.
