The focus on technology such as AI is confusing the matter. What matters is how people are treated, not which technology was used to treat them good or bad. The discussion should be about when citizen scoring or mass surveillance is justified, which it could be. If the answer is that citizen scoring or mass surveillance never is justified, then technology does not matter. If the answer is "sometimes, under condition X", then it may be less important if the scoring and surveillance is done using technology labelled as A.I. or biological neural networks, than how the results are used, by whom and for what purpose.
