The 2024 Paris Olympics saw the implementation of AI-powered CCTV cameras across the capital of France, marking a significant step in surveillance technology. Privacy advocates have raised concerns about the potential long-term implications of this experiment, as the use of algorithmic video surveillance (VSA) continues beyond the Games. The French Parliament introduced a new law to regulate the use of AI cameras during large events until March 2025, making France a pioneer in this area within the European Union.
Experts fear that the normalization of AI surveillance through events like the Olympics could lead to a permanent integration of these technologies into national surveillance systems. Concerns have been raised about the risks to fundamental rights, such as privacy and freedom of assembly, posed by the use of AI in surveillance. Civil society organizations and human rights advocates have criticized the potential abuses and lack of legal framework surrounding the deployment of AI-powered CCTV cameras in France.
