AI Surveillance Is Being Supercharged–And It Will Chill Social Progress

In an op-ed for The Guardian, senior research fellow Jon Penney and co-author Bruce Schneier argue that widely deploying AI surveillance could be corrosive to democracy and social progress itself. 

Citing Penney’s new book, Chilling Effects, they note that “the chill of AI-powered mass surveillance will suffocate the very foundations of healthy democratic societies” unless we make the right policy choices.
