"On Thursday, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison shared his vision for an AI-powered surveillance future during a company financial meeting, reports Business Insider. During an investor Q&A, Ellison described a world where artificial intelligence systems would constantly monitor citizens through an extensive network of cameras and drones, stating this would ensure both police and citizens don't break the law. Further Reading Due to AI, “We are about to enter the era of mass spying,” says Bruce Schneier

Ellison, who briefly became the world's second-wealthiest person last week when his net worth surpassed Jeff Bezos' for a short time, outlined a scenario where AI models would analyze footage from security cameras, police body cams, doorbell cameras, and vehicle dash cams.

"Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on," Ellison said, describing what he sees as the benefits from automated oversight from AI and automated alerts for when crime takes place. "We're going to have supervision"

Sounds like modern day slavery IMO.

This is a rather erroneous notion to think that surveillance will improve behavior. During the covid lockdowns in 2020, New York required citizens to send them pictures of people who were violating quarantine. Needless to say, it wasn't very effective.
