Amnesty International protested against the approval of the use of artificial intelligence for surveillance during the Summer Olympics in France.

The organization has warned of the dangers of using surveillance cameras equipped with artificial intelligence, saying it could threaten basic civil liberties. The French government has justified the need for the technology to manage large crowds and detect potential dangers, but critics say it paves the way for widespread facial recognition. Amnesty International has called for a law banning the use of facial recognition systems in public spaces in France.
