Cheap manufactured products are not China's primary exports, but social engineering technologies are. Authoritarian regimes are eagerly adopting China's dystopian surveillance and censorship technologies, using data and manipulation to maintain their power.
Societies are undergoing subtle yet massive changes because constant surveillance causes people to modify their behavior. You might nix certain activities that are thought to result in negative outcomes, and adopt new practices that are seen as positive. This is the wretched iron fist of Technocracy's 'science of social engineering'.
If data can be pumped into your brain, then your personal sensory data can be pumped out... just like the scenario in the upcoming Channing Powell series, The Feed. However, just because scientists say something is going to happen doesn't mean it is really going to happen.
While science fiction is typically futuristic, The Feed is based on currently developing technology designed to use brain implanted chips to interface with the Internet. Some are already comparing The Feed to Nineteen Eighty Four and Brave New World.
T-Mobile lays out the real driver behind 5G: IoT and AI. Connecting everything and everybody together will permit command and control like never seen before in history. Unimaginable volumes of data will be collected, which is the life-blood of Artificial Intelligence.
When the eco-world gets their hands on 'deep fake' AI software, they can make earth images that cannot be detected as false, inserting things that are not there and removing things that are there. Forget 'lying with statistics'; Now it's lying with images.
Illinois law blocks facial recognition technology for private industry, but not for government or police. The last paragraph of the bill states, "Nothing in this Act shall be construed to apply to a contractor, subcontractor, or agent of a State agency or local unit of government when working for that State agency or local unit of government."
Chaos reigns as Google employees, management and even outsiders have taken it upon themselves to act like a Senate confirmation committee where they choose or deny who sits on the ethics panel.
AI is a machine algorithm and not a human mind. As such, AU does not share any semblance of human emotion, including humor. Every rendering of judgement will be made on sterile machine logic. Should AI ever be left making decisions for humans?
Several recent studies have shown that deep learning AI can develop biases just like humans do. The problem is that AI is completely void of human emotion, modeling a Schizoid Personality Disorder.
