Missoula council delays park camera upgrade vote amid AI surveillance concerns

Missoula City Council is putting off a decision to purchase and upgrade cameras for city parks and facilities amid concerns over artificial intelligence capabilities.

The contract for upgraded cameras made by the company Verkada was front and center, after widespread public concern about their ability to use AI for facial recognition and license plate scanning.

If approved, the cameras would have been installed at Splash Montana, Currents Aquatic Center, Mobash Skatepark and Fort Missoula Regional Park. All of the sites currently have older cameras.
