Using smartphones while working has become a natural part of our daily routine, but should politicians be using their phones during sessions? The AI program called The Flemish Scrollers was created by Belgian artist Dries Depoorter and makes use of face recognition and AI to identify the politician and their phones. The videos of distracted politicians identified by the program are then shared on Twitter and Instagram, tagging the official handles of the politician in the video. The software then identifies the politicians with a rectangle shape and a percentage sign for both their face and their cellphones. The software also appears to be capable of monitoring multiple faces, based on the screenshot of the identified politicians holding smartphones.
