France’s data protection agency, the CNIL, released an Artificial Intelligence (AI) action plan designed to regulate and audit AI systems last month. The plan singles out AI-equipped video surveillance cameras, recommitting to auditing their use. The plan's release comes a few months after the French government passed a bill legalizing the use of AI video surveillance cameras ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics, inflaming an already fraught debate in the country about privacy and individual freedom.
