I’ve read that American retailers have started using AI to identify and track thieves, often allowing theft to accumulate until it reaches a felony threshold. Is this also done in Switzerland, by Migros, Globus etc.? Would it even be legal here? It would obviously entail keeping video footage for up to years, and having worked in a clothing store, I recall that we weren’t even allowed to record anything with the security cameras, though through my brief stint at Coop I know they do keep videos for at least a short while.
