US leaders have realized how much power China CCP has over its citizens. They want to do that. Same with EU.
What makes US US are their transparent integral markets and ability for information , people and goods to move freely.
By using AI for mass surveillance, information can’t move that freely. Free speech gets suppressed. Can’t call the emperor naked.
The Emporer is naked with a poopy diaper. But we can’t say that aloud.
That seems counter intuitive to me.
Surveillance is information gathering, and synthesizing insights that were previously undiscovered. It makes more information, albeit not shared information.
I suppose it decreases the percentage of information that’s free. But it increases the amount of total information.
About free speech suppression, I don’t see any of that happening. If anything, there is too much being said from across the political spectrum. I’d be happy if people would say less, especially in hyperbole. I can’t see where free speech has been impinged at all.
