Cnil warns of ‘enhanced’ cameras in public space

They are called “augmented” or sometimes “intelligent” because these cameras, linked to artificial intelligence tools, enable the automatic analysis of individuals’ behavior to detect violations, suspicious behavior or abandoned luggage. For the CNIL (National Commission on Accounts and Liberties), which held a consultation on the subject on Tuesday, these devices are, as it stands, prohibited in public space by French law. In order to use them, a regulatory or legislative framework will be needed, according to the guardian of the privacy of the French.

If these enhanced cameras prove effective and their use is necessary, then it should be authorized by a special law that, after democratic debate, will define special use cases for the benefit of some people.”, it is said in the report of the commission. This usage is an embodiment“New Privacy Risks”, while many municipalities have already linked this type of software to their video surveillance system. The authorities are afraid of the emergence of a generalized surveillance society and a change in the behavior of passers-by.

Even uses considered legitimate, such as analyzing the frequency of certain axes, would require a law or regulation to “opt out,” allowing a person to opt out of being on the record. Only cameras whose use will be limited to producing anonymous statistics can already be configured without requiring supervision.
