The French Government is employing advanced AI surveillance technology to manage security for the 2024 Paris Olympics, utilizing tools from both state and private sectors. This extensive surveillance includes AI video systems, data gathering, and traditional methods such as wiretapping, all under newly enacted laws that modify existing regulations to accommodate these practices.
Critics argue that these measures, while intended to address security risks, could infringe on privacy rights and violate the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation. The integration of AI in monitoring and data collection raises concerns about transparency and potential privacy breaches.
