Okay… that’s a pretty bleak picture.
Sooo… how do we beat AI surveillance?
I know, sorry… Can’t help but be honest about these things.
We can’t beat Ai survellience I think. People will get used to it but we won’t be happy.
You will have a citizen score and if you speak up, it goes down and you get flagged as trouble. This leads to all sorts of issues with getting loans, jobs etc etc. So nobody will do anything. We will not even complain because it may be picked up by cameras and microphones installed everywhere we go “for our security”.
Well, there are some hurdles to overcome first. Power consumptions for training is huge but maybe solve able in the future. Data storage for all kinds of metadata? Maybe, big data is a thing but also needs power. Streaming many devices to distributed data lakes? There will be a Problem. Data plans are mostly limited, streaming drains power of phones etc. Not very attractive for the consumer. My prediction is, that we’ll see personal AI assistants, they work on your phones or with home stations. Remind you of dates, motivate you to work out, help you write a letter, turn on the light, heat up the stove etc. The neat part is that this personal AI primary operates locally, so even with 6-7 cameras in and outside your home you won’t get any problems with power or data plans. The companies providing this service will not have to provide huge storages and computing power. But, they’ll be able fetch data, apply new algorithms to your personal assistant and collect their subscription fees.
That solutions gets us by the balls. It has advantages and only slight to none inconveniences for the light minded. So peoples, companies and States will thrive that this comes true.
Sry for some spelling or orthography mistakes, I rarely type and speak english.
It’s fine… it’s not your responsibility to come up with answers to these things.
But we’re going to have to find ways if we don’t want our children and grandchildren growing up in bombed-out open-air prisons as well.
Yeah I would love if we do.
