A population under the permanent gaze of cameras, where artificial intelligence provides the means to control everyone's every move, all in the hands of an overpowering police force, with unprecedented losses of public freedoms? For Félix Tréguer, associate researcher at the CNRS Internet and Society Center, the question arises. Between drones, predictive software, algorithmic video surveillance, and facial recognition: the use of the latest control technologies is becoming commonplace within the French police. Far from curbing crime, according to him, all these innovations actually contribute to amplifying state violence. From the security industry to the mysteries of the Ministry of the Interior, from the CNIL to the patrol officer's vehicle, his latest book, Technopolice, traces the links between techno-solutionist hegemony and what he describes as the current authoritarian drift.
