behavior patterns, thus supporting shoplifting detection without installing new cameras.<\/li>\n<li>The integration of AI into video surveillance systems raises significant privacy concerns, though the law states that footage monitored by AI must adhere to the same legal standards as human-reviewed footage, according to the Data Protection Inspectorate.<\/li>\n<li>Real-time facial recognition is restricted by law and can\u2019t be used to alert security about previously convicted shoplifters, although this technology is eyed for potential use by Estonian retailers as early as 2024.<\/li>\n<li>Only Prisma among Estonia\u2019s largest retail chains confirms using AI in its surveillance systems to identify anomalies in customer behavior and aid security staff in addressing potential incidents.<\/li>\n<li>The use of AI in security systems doesn&#8217;t replace human oversight; every AI-identified incident still requires a person&#8217;s review and validation.<\/li>\n<li>Rimi and Selver do not use AI surveillance, with Rimi explicitly stating this and Selver highlighting a cautious approach due to current data protection regulations.<\/li>\n<li>Lidl hasn&#8217;t adopted AI surveillance but hasn\u2019t ruled out future implementation due to ongoing evaluations and its position within a larger international network.<\/li>\n<li>Data privacy concerns extend to AI surveillance solutions that might transmit data to third countries, necessitating compliance with data protection laws for lawful processing and measures to protect individual rights, including face blurring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artificial intelligence used in Estonian shops&#8217;
