Cambodia Launches Smart Policing Initiative in Phnom Penh

Cambodia’s Ministry of Interior formally launched a China-backed “Smart Police” initiative in the capital city of Phnom Penh. The new policing system will connect 487 cameras equipped with AI-powered identity and vehicle tracking and send all video feeds into a new centralized command center. To support the rollout, Chinese-backed regional security partners are providing financial and technical support for the project and have pledged to expand the camera grid in the future. Cambodian officials say the project will protect residents and tourists. But in a country where dissent is overtly and systematically punished, these new AI-powered systems can easily double as a surveillance machine capable of identifying anyone who criticizes the ruling party.
