The following report is by Biometrics Update:
The French police deployed the technology at two Paris metro stations used by fans attending the concert. The decision to deploy the video system was justified by the heightened risk of acts of terrorism, according to Euronews.
The AI system was installed in preparation for the Olympics scheduled in July and August. The algorithms deployed for real-time surveillance detect suspicious or potentially dangerous events, including weapons, fire, bodies on the ground, abandoned packages and abnormal crowd behaviors.

The surveillance cameras are also being tested during other events, including the Cannes Film Festival. The AI surveillance network will watch over movie stars alongside some 40,000 attendees until May 25. Local authorities say they are using 17 AI cameras while the city on the French Riviera already has the “densest video protection network in France” with 884 video cameras, Barrons reports.
AI cameras were also tested during recent concerts by the English band Depeche Mode.
Will Paris’ Surveillance System Be Efficient Enough?
While the deployment of the system will be strictly limited to the Olympics, introducing algorithmic tracking has drawn criticism from activists and lawmakers. Some are concerned that the Paris Olympics will set a precedent for other events. But the system also raises other questions, including those related to its efficiency.
Losing footage due to system overload could have significant security implications, according to Vishwa Vijoyendra Narayan, director of product management at Quantum.
“Losing vital sections of footage wouldn’t go down well with the public, heightening concerns about reliability and transparency,” Narayan writes for Infosecurity Magazine.
Legacy network video recorders (NVRs) were not built to support video surveillance operations at scale. Modern surveillance platforms are replacing traditional NVR servers with a single compute and storage software-based platform for video recording and advanced analytics. These allow customers to host more than 10,000 cameras on a single system, he notes.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
As I noted in my report about the French Olympics deploying AI at the event, this will not revert back and is not a one off. After the event we’ll be hearing reports about how ‘great of a success’ it was and its widespread use.
They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
Lamentations 4:18
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Is the Ai going to identify people or look for evil people that going to listen to that wicked Jezebel and do what? see if they get more evil? Their not smart enough to see the big picture: they’ll just smile for the camera like good little minions.
