PARIS, March 24 — France’s National Assembly on Thursday approved the use of Artificial Intelligence video surveillance during the 2024 Paris Olympics, overlooking warnings from civil rights groups that the technology posed a threat to civil liberties.
If formally adopted, France would become the first country in the European Union to legalise AI-powered surveillance. That would be setting a worrying surveillance precedent, a group of several dozen European lawmakers said last week. Apart from uses of AI by companies, the EU legislation will also look at AI used in public sector and law enforcement.
Ruling party lawmaker Sacha Houlie, who chairs parliament’s Committee on Legal Affairs, told the lower house that AI could have helped prevent the 2016 Nice attack by identifying the movements of a truck used to plough through a crowd as suspicious. The technology could also have helped avert the crowd chaos at the Champions League Final in Paris last year, he said.
