The RATP, the company running the Paris metro, is implementing AI-driven surveillance algorithms to monitor CCTV footage during the Paris Olympics. This futuristic security measure is aimed at detecting a range of potential threats, such as crowd surges and abandoned objects, to ensure safety. While intended to enhance security, this initiative raises concerns over privacy rights, as extensive monitoring could lead to the infringement of fundamental human liberties. The experimental use of such technology is set to continue until March 2025, attracting scrutiny from human rights groups and activists.
