This sounds like a horrible world to live in...

  Maybe, but it would be very interesting to see an AI drone exploring every corner of the world (in a low/no impact way), categorizing species we’ve never discovered, finding patterns in environmental sensor data, making recommendations on which rivers are the biggest polluters and the best places to intercept the problem, determine the best way to optimize rain catches to increase groundwater etc. The obvious flip side of which would be that authoritarian governments could use this to figure out how to crush dissent, carry out “efficient” genocides, pillage their forests etc.

  This seems inevitable to me once we have cheap APIs with multi-modal abilities. Surveillance is what AI will excel at and so that is what it will be used for.
