The 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, running from May 14 to May 25, is set to be transformed by Artificial Intelligence. This technology will play a pivotal role, overseeing red carpet celebrities, directors, producers, screenwriters, and industry professionals. The Cannes City Hall has announced an experimental deployment of seven AI-equipped security cameras around the highly monitored Palais des Festivals area, where film screenings and guest receptions take place.

AI-Enhanced Security and Monitoring at Cannes Film Festival

These cameras are integrated into what is described as "France’s densest video protection network," totaling 884 cameras supplemented by 462 emergency call buttons, all linked directly to the Urban Protection Center (CPU). AI will assist in detecting any suspicious or risky behaviors, abandoned packages, weapons, and unusual crowd movements, ensuring a secure environment for attendees.

Another innovative application of AI technology at the festival is the introduction of the Cannes Immersive program. Under the patronage of Jean-Michel Jarre, a musician known for his passion for new technologies, and supported by France's National Center of Cinematography (CNC), Cannes aims to establish this program as a global hub for VR creations and the new artistic territory of AI.

This competition highlights a new generation of international artists developing narrative experiences beyond the traditional two-dimensional cinema screen.
