Moscow has become the world's first 'Safe City' with the help of tech startup NtechLab. The company has developed a facial recognition system that is being used to monitor public spaces throughout Moscow, helping to identify wanted criminals and alerting authorities when suspicious activity occurs. The technology is also being used for other applications such as tracking lost children in crowded areas, monitoring traffic conditions, and even detecting drug dealers. With this technology in place, it looks like crime rates will soon be dropping in Moscow as criminals are caught before they can commit any serious offenses.
