So like with most ML/AI technologies, it's usually not the specific use case that is the most troubling. The most troubling is that everyone scanned are put into the database for later use or as training data. So even if I'm not a stalker of Taylor Swift, I'm now part of ISM Connect's database, so when they release a "EnergyGuard" product, it will certainly recognize my face at an environmental protest at a coal power plant. And now they know that I'm a climate change advocate and I like Taylor Swift. This kind of mapping is what scares me about ML/AI the most, where you pretty much have to collect, store, share, and map data that violates your Fourth Amendment rights (e.g. the "mosaic" principle of privacy from US v. Jones[1]).
