Axon 1500万美元续约合同夹带36台无人订购的AI摄像头,警局要求先审查
一周之内,四座城市先后表决Axon合同,其中两地开始将AI附加功能与警方实际订购的泰瑟电击枪、执法记录仪分开定价。而到目前为止,从Flock流失的需求,到头来还是落在了Axon头上。

一份续约合同,夹带36台无人订购的摄像头
9月22日,查塔努加市议会批准了一份Axon合同包,为期五年、总额最高1500万美元,但附加一项条件:在市府接收或部署36台没有任何市政部门申请过的车牌自动识别摄像头之前,须再交市议会审查1。"我觉得对这些东西,我们得先踩一脚刹车。"市议员科迪·哈维说,他是唯一投反对票的议员14。
查塔努加警察局申请的是执法记录仪、泰瑟电击枪、讯问室设备和一款AI翻译助手。而Axon这份每年260万美元的方案,还加进了反无人机软件和300路流式接入许可——后者用于在市政府现有摄像头上运行Axon的AI。按Axon的说法,这套软件能凭衣着尺码或颜色识别人员,凭车身颜色或保险杠贴纸识别车辆1。这份合同包所续签的原合同将于9月30日到期1。
卡温顿逐条改写合同
在肯塔基州卡温顿,当地居民施压,迫使市政委员会在本月通过Axon合同前先行改写:合同期由十年压缩为一年,另附九次逐年续约;删除警车车载车牌识别设备;市辖范围内禁止架设立杆式识别器;每30天提交一次使用报告;AI起草的报告文字须留存于公共记录;此外市政府可选择不让Axon用市政数据训练其AI模型6。到了本周,居民仍在追要修改后的合同文本;市政经理给出的答复,是让他们自己去提交信息公开申请6。
十年长约照签不误
9月22日,洛杉矶警察委员会以3票赞成、0票反对表决,将一份为期十年、金额2.35亿美元的Axon合同提交市议会。合同新增Draft One——一款能依据执法记录仪音频写出警员报告初稿的软件——外加在市政路灯上安装Axon车牌识别摄像头的三个月免费试点,合同期至2036年7月23。洛杉矶警察局表示,数据完全归市政府所有,摄像头也无法识别个人身份;因数据所有权问题,该局已于今年7月弃用Flock2。
纽约州奥本市以五年总计999,999.60美元的价格与Axon续约,折合每年约196,197美元;同一预算季,该市加税8%,并迈出了终止Flock的第一步5。科罗拉多州杜兰戈将于2027年把车牌识别项目从Flock切换到Axon;加利福尼亚州安条克已批准55个Axon固定识别点位;404 Media 8月的一项统计显示,另有七个社区弃用Flock、改用Axon7。迄今为止,针对隐私的反弹并未缩小监控市场,不过是给它换了块招牌。
Axon营收年增速连续十个季度超过30%

计价器如今摆上市议会主席台
得克萨斯州海斯县走得最远:该县9月15日以3票赞成、2票反对表决,撤销为一份为期十年、金额450万美元的Axon AI合同预留的资金,改将这笔钱用于增聘两名惩教官员8。Axon营收已连续十个季度保持30%以上的年增速9,而AI附加功能仍频频出现在新的合同方案中:洛杉矶的Draft One、查塔努加的300个流式接入许可、卡温顿的AI辅助报告。
本月的变化在于:AI附加功能如今要先经市议会表决通过,单独定价,不再与泰瑟电击枪和执法记录仪搭售。接下来,一看洛杉矶市议会如何表决,二看有没有其他城市效仿卡温顿的一年期条款。
