商品描述

This volume examines the use of artificial intelligence (AI) surveillance tools, such as closed-circuit television (CCTV), facial recognition, and license plate readers, across Africa. Although governments claim these technologies combat cybercrime and terrorism, the book shows that they are often used to monitor citizens without their knowledge or consent.

The book also reveals that China has become the leading supplier and installer of these tools, helping to build powerful surveillance systems in many African countries. Drawing on examples from across the continent, the book argues that these technologies are shaping new forms of digital control. This book will appeal to scholars, policymakers, diplomats, human rights advocates, and students of African politics, international relations, and security studies.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討了人工智慧（AI）監控工具的使用，例如閉路電視（CCTV）、臉部識別和車牌識別系統，在非洲的應用。儘管各國政府聲稱這些技術有助於打擊網路犯罪和恐怖主義，但本書顯示這些技術往往被用來在公民不知情或未經同意的情況下進行監控。

本書還揭示，中國已成為這些工具的主要供應商和安裝商，幫助許多非洲國家建立強大的監控系統。通過來自整個大陸的例子，本書主張這些技術正在塑造新的數位控制形式。本書將吸引學者、政策制定者、外交官、人權倡導者，以及非洲政治、國際關係和安全研究的學生。
