No magnitude yet: distribution is not documented.

The system’s part
Not isolated. The article says that police used CCTV footage and AI-powered tracking tools to follow the students' movements. It does not name the system, describe how it works or say whether it learns from data, so its AI status rests on the newspaper's description alone. It gives no comparison with a search without the tools.
