AI Surveillance Will Track and Punish Every Minor Infraction
AI-powered surveillance systems will soon monitor all public and much private behavior, automatically detecting violations like shoplifting or jaywalking. These systems will instantly record infractions to government records, notify offenders, and alert authorities in real time. Unlike current speed cameras, they will enforce any rule and issue immediate fines rather than mailed tickets.

The piece rightly warns of a future where minor infractions are instantly punished, but understates the potential for false positives and discriminatory enforcement at scale.
