Back after the 2020 election, when Sidney Powell was talking about unleashing the kraken, there was a lot of speculation about what the kraken was.
There turned out to be an Army Kraken project that uses AI to keep watch over a base. It identifies entities that need closer watching, and tracks them across the various available sensor streams.
Something similar can be seen in the recently-released drone footage of the supposedly-botched air strike in Afghanistan in August. I believe that was Air Force, but they were using software to help track individual cars seen on video.
The technology may be far enough along now to be deployed at scale, and I'm wondering if something of that sort was used on January 6.
It doesn't even have to be done in real time; it can take in decently-synchronized video from any event now.
In any case, AI is not the only way to accomplish this task. The article below reads to me like an effort to make a people-powered version to examine the movements of suspicious parties around the 2020 election:

Neil Gaiman's came in the form of a short story, "The Problem of Susan," which from an excerpt I found is apparently quite vile.
Gaiman has fallen out of public favor as allegations against him have begun to surface.
Two other authors were J. K. Rowling, who ought to know better, and Phillip Pullman, who also writes vile stories, I've been told.
Pastor Douglas Wilson has a lucid, sensitive, and rather long rebuttal to the Problem of Susan; link below.
My own, lesser contribution here, is that C. S. Lewis was a fan of George MacDonald, and MacDonald wrote some vivid portrayals of spiritual devolution. In The Princess and Curdie, Curdie was given the ability to discern which beast a person's moral character was descending into by holding their hand. In ...
