Although I have no direct knowledge of the implementation of these policies People need to keep in mind that return to office is going to steadily be a more and more orwellian affair. Monitoring of internet was always kind of standard at this point of course, and attempts to track users remotely for attention and activity were already partially in the works. But one thing that was nice about having your home is that they can't put cameras and those types of things outside of an approved device. You have no such assurances in office in office. They can monitor you every second of the day and now they have AI that they can apply to those data streams. Governments of course desperately want these capabilities and will fund them to no end so that they can apply a AI agents to the fire hose of monitoring information that governments have at their disposal. Corporations will be happy to pilot these in the environments that they have greater totalitarian control of over compared to "the public". Combined with the massive unprecedented labor bargaining hammer that AI gives them, acceptance of this by the United States and Democratic workforces is inevitable. And with that, it'll pave the way towards total societal monitoring and control.
