Paris rolls out AI surveillance for Taylor Swift

Pop superstar Taylor Swift had her concert in Paris guarded by AI-powered video surveillance as the city prepares for heightened security risks during the Summer Olympics 2024.

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.
