Activists have voiced strong opposition to the use of AI surveillance during the recent CJP protests, calling for greater transparency and accountability.
Activists gathered to protest against the deployment of artificial‑intelligence surveillance tools during the recent CJP protests. They argue that the technology used to monitor demonstrators raises serious privacy concerns and could be misused to target dissent.
The demonstrators demanded that authorities disclose the extent of AI‑based monitoring and ensure that any data collected is handled with strict safeguards. They also called for independent oversight to prevent abuse of the technology.
In response, some officials said that the surveillance system was intended to maintain public order, but activists remain skeptical and urge the government to adopt clear regulations governing AI surveillance in public spaces.
