Counting with Eyes: Cala Millor Deploys AI Sensors — Service or Surveillance?

Answer

How can Cala Millor make sure the sensors do not become permanent surveillance?

A limited pilot phase with clear goals is one good safeguard, especially if it is reviewed openly. The system should be restricted to aggregated statistics, with no face recognition and no public access to raw images. Independent oversight from a data protection authority or a local committee could also help keep the project focused on service rather than surveillance.
