PARIS — French left-leaning lawmakers are preparing to challenge the controversial bill allowing AI-powered cameras at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics before the country’s top constitutional court, Greens MP Sandra Regol told POLITICO. “We hope to obtain something [from the Constitutional Council] because the Council of State had many questions to begin with,” Regol said Thursday. “This is a rider law, which touches upon about everything but the Olympic Games.” The French government wants to experiment with large-scale, real-time camera systems supported by algorithms to spot suspicious behavior, including unsupervised luggage and crowd movements like stampedes, for the mega-sports event next year.

Bach added that because neither Ukraine nor Russia were happy with the IOC’s recommendations on Russian and Belarusian athletes it could indicate the governing body had actually m...
