Nations and international groups trying to push for digital ID's, while governments enthusiastically pass online verification laws with wild abandon.
Attempts to outlaw/ban VPN's.
Still very much active government/intelligence surveillance programs that collect and store massive amounts of data on people, often without a warrant.
Corporate data collection and the selling thereof.
I mean I'll agree, that AI as a tool is going to make things way easier for various groups in their efforts to collect and store data about individuals. The problem though isn't so much the tools that are being employed, so much as that they're being allowed to collect that data in the fucking first place.
AI is arguably the most important threat to individual liberty right now with only mass immigration matching it.
I also fear that this is inevitable.
The best time to properly regulate AI was years ago.
The next best time is now.
After AGI is achieved, it will be too late!
So, somehow more of an issue than:
Nations and international groups trying to push for digital ID's, while governments enthusiastically pass online verification laws with wild abandon.
Attempts to outlaw/ban VPN's.
Still very much active government/intelligence surveillance programs that collect and store massive amounts of data on people, often without a warrant.
Corporate data collection and the selling thereof.
