Panopticon will not be the way

Well, if you own a world inhabited by a few billion people, you want to make sure they’re optimally generating value for you and not bringing down the value of your holdings.

Police could already use drones operated by humans to chase people. It's already possible and already safer. For some reason the police don't seem to give a shit about that. Their leaders don't care, and their leaders' leaders don't care. But go ahead billionaire man with AI, change the world.

Ellison made the comments as he spoke to investors earlier this week during an Oracle financial analysts meeting ...

Ellison said AI would be used in the future to constantly watch and analyze vast surveillance systems, like security cameras, police body cameras, doorbell cameras, and vehicle dashboard cameras.

"We're going to have supervision," Ellison said. "Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there's a problem, AI will report that problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on."

Ellison also expects AI drones to replace police cars in high-speed chases. "You just have a drone follow the car," Ellison said. "It's very simple in the age of autonomous drones."

Oh, it's absolutely going to be written in Java. Storing data with Oracle DB. And running on Solaris.

[–] TwoFacedJanus1968@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

It will just mean that the citizens will ill-intent will find ways to use the same tools against the surveillance system.

Not to mention, most of the people NOT on their best behavior will be the guys running the companies and agencies running the system.

Broke guy Agent641 says a vast self-funded purchase of plastic water pistols and a sample pot of black house paint can ensure that Larry is wrong.
