Darrell West discusses the capabilities of AI-enhanced surveillance and the consequences they could have on Americans' freedoms.
  • AI surveillance may no longer just be a foreign government threat, as there are troubling stories about possible abuses within the United States.
  • With major agencies, law enforcement, and intelligence services now in the hands of Trump loyalists, AI-based monitoring capability is a particular concern.
  • It is a risky time for AI surveillance due to a combination of advanced digital technologies, abundant unsecured data, and a political environment that endangers people’s freedoms.
