It's BS. I have friends on that team, and the tech works (it's very expensive and doesn't scale too well, but it works a hell of a lot better than having some Indian dude squinting at security camera footage)

I’m sure your friend is under many NDAs where they understandably might or might not be comfortable discussing implementation. But as of 2017 Amazon admitted they are using humans in the loop for go, you can ask your friend at what year they stopped

  • You basically implied that the whole thing is a scam and doesn't work at all, now you're walking back your initial egregious slander to a more defensible position

>it's very expensive and doesn't scale too well,

If the system was AI and image recognition based, this would not be the case, as it would scale very very well.

The fact that it's expensive and doesn't scale well is in fact a great red flag that it relies on human labor.
