French Authorities Deploy AI to Monitor Taylor Swift Concerts, Raising Ethical Questions

The Paris La Défense Arena is set to host some of Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated concerts, but fans should be aware of more than just the music. French police have deployed AI-powered video surveillance at two key metro stations serving the venue.  This move, designed to enhance security, is a move toward using advanced technology for public safety. However, it also raises considerable concerns about privacy and the implications of widespread surveillance. The decision reflects a growing trend of leveraging AI to monitor large gatherings and raises moral questions as well.
