  When I see Chromebooks being mentioned, I always think about "One Tablet Per Child" charity from Person of Interest show. (Slight spoiler for season 4) Giving every child in the country a free tablet with Internet access, loaded with quality educational software sounds like a great good, but is it so good if it also comes loaded with surveillance equipment and is controlled by a malicious AI attempting to control human society? (Chromebooks aren't free and Google isn't an evil general AI, but it is a multinational adtech corporation, which is as close as you can get to amoral GAI in the real world today.)

    Pretty much exactly my concern. This isn't some philanthropic group doing this. It's Google, and everything that comes with it.
