The tools now exist to review every action and communication made by every citizen of every country without human intervention, and to sort those actions based on specific parameters set by a single person. Who will be the first one to set these parameters, and what will they be?

    Now AI can sort through the hours of traffick camera footage

    No it can’t, not without major hallucinations and/or basic errors (ex: Black People tend to be misidentified).

    That’s the big thing about this AI push, it’s subtle mistakes are fucking people over right now. If AI actually worked reliably that’s another thing. But right now, people are mostly pretending that AI works and/or ignorant of its flaws.

      Don’t get LLMs confused with specialized ML algorithms. Hallucination is an LLM problem, algorithms like gait recognition have been honing in accuracy since way before LLMs started development. Where LLMs come into the picture is that they can act as agents, processing queries and then selecting the best fit specialized algorithm to process the data and then cross reference results from different queries to compile a correlated multidomain dataset. Done properly, this will yield not just a single answer but a list of potential answers with their relative degree of certainty.

      Look at the Harvard facial recognition glasses as a proof of concept of this kind of approach: https://specialconcentrations.fas.harvard.edu/news/heres-looking-you

      Just doing the basics such as number plate recognition works well enough that the integration of these services has become a problem. I believe there is some controversy in the US about this now.
