Edmonton Police: Corsight AI powers Axon bodycam facial recognition pilot

EPS internal emails released via FOI show Corsight AI is the recognition engine behind Axon’s facial-recognition bodycam pilot — a Canada-first. Phase 1 runs silently with trained reviewers; Phase 2 would push near-real-time alerts to field officers. Corsight’s reported links to mass surveillance deployments raise independent-vendor-trust concerns. EPS assessment flags this as a ‘significant adaptation’ of bodycam technology.
