You've missed the point. AI is a surveillance technology because training it to a point of realistic usefulness requires enough data that you can't produce it yourself, without mass surveillance. Surveillance is the prerequisite, not the intended use.
That's... not actually stated outright in the article, so I get the confusion. But it seems to me like it's the only logical explanation for what is stated.
- PeterisP 3y agoThere's no link between "enough data that you can't produce it yourself" and "mass surveillance" unless perhaps in the context of face recognition. Training a language model on every book ever published does not involve surveillance in any way, and if someone takes all of the work of every graphic artist, that can be called by many names but surveillance isn't one of them.
