Birmingham City Council has installed three new artificial intelligence (AI) CCTV cameras in a bid to tackle fly-tipping.

The pilot scheme will see the cameras installed in parts of the wards of Aston, Erdington and North Edgbaston that have been identified as fly-tipping hotspots.

The AI-enhanced devices can detect images of suspected dumped rubbish and then automatically alert council officers to the incident. This saves officers from manually trawling through recorded footage after an incident occurs.

The pilot is funded by a £45,000 Government grant announced in April of this year.

Cllr Majid Mahmood, cabinet member for Environment, said: ‘Thanks to the previous investment made by the city council and new grants such as this, we are showing we are on the side of people who care for and value their neighbourhoods – and that we are willing to try out new technology to deliver a cleaner and greener Birmingham.’
