Some authoritarian countries are using artificial intelligence to strengthen their control over society.
Cameras in cities, facial recognition, internet inspections, social media monitoring, and personal databases can be connected together.
Governments can not only watch people in real time, but also find out where someone has been, whom they have met, and what they have said.
Someone may be identified by cameras and punished for leaving a message in public or taking part in a protest.
More importantly, these technologies have become an international business.
Some countries sell cameras, servers, and surveillance software to Asia, Africa, and Latin America, often claiming that they are building “smart cities” or preventing crime.
Countries that buy these products do not need to develop the entire system themselves and can quickly build large-scale surveillance systems.
Artificial intelligence can also detect unusual online activity, crowd movements, and social connections, allowing governments to act before protests emerge.
Digital technology can improve health care, education, transportation, and agriculture, but without legal limits and public oversight, it can also harm privacy and freedom.
Therefore, as countries develop artificial intelligence, they should involve more people in its governance, make the uses of technology public, and put people’s safety and everyday needs first.
