Description

This new form of surveillance technology will utilise Artificial Intelligence (AI) controlled technology to monitor activity and to identify subjects though the use of algorithms that will, supposedly, match the faces of people with established databases. This project will be rolled out and developed by the Maltese State in cooperation with the Chinese tech-giant Huawei. 1

[Safe City Malta director Joe Cuschieri] added that Huawei would only be providing hardware solutions. “Huawei will not be operating any Safe City equipment, and will not even have direct access for technical support purposes.”  “Data will be stored in Malta and will stay in Malta, governed by a security and data retention policy.” 2

The United Nations’ rapporteur on data protection, Professor Joseph Cannataci, who is based in Malta, filed a request for clarifications on the project immediately after a pilot of the Safe City system was announced for Paceville in 2017. Malta Today reports that legal and data protection issues appear to have sidetracked those plans. 3

The UN Special Rapporteur on the right to privacy is recommending to the Government of Malta to reinforce the protection of fundamental human rights and respect for the rule of law in the context of the reform of its surveillance, policy, legislation and practices. 4
