Yes, I found that proposal rather myopic and disturbing. The concept of "big data" is so amorphous that in my mind it stands for "totalitarian surveillance system". I really have a hard time understanding the AI and Big Data buzzword fetishism.
And, though this is probably controversial to say, I know of very few business that apply "AI"/ML to any real benefit. At least not much that couldn't be achieved with less complex statistical models.
