Palma steps up: More cameras, drones and the big question of privacy

Answer

Why do people worry about false alarms from AI cameras in Palma?

AI systems can detect movement or crowds, but they do not always understand context. A wedding, a street performance or a demonstration may be flagged as unusual even when nothing is wrong, which can lead to unnecessary police responses. That is one reason many people want careful testing before wider use in Palma.
