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
