AI surveillance startup Flock to cut several hundred jobs amid backlash, sources say

Company, which grown rapidly in recent years, has been under scrutiny as privacy concerns grow

Flock Safety plans to let go of about 18% of its employees, people with direct ⁠knowledge of the plans said on Thursday, as the maker of AI-powered surveillance cameras and license-plate readers faces mounting opposition to its products from communities and ⁠lawmakers.

The people said the job ⁠cuts came after ​a voluntary buyout program and were expected to affect roughly 270 employees at Flock, a surveillance technology startup that has seen rapid growth in recent ⁠years. Employees will leave the company at the end of the month.
