Uhh, so the Washington Post revealed my city has been using dystopian nightmare AI facial recognition surveillance through a private company to track people on a watchlist.
Apparently they had a secret partnership with Palantir several years ago(news to me) and this is allegedly not directly related to that, but it seems like it definitely is.
Now Republicans are trying to pass a law to ban states from regulating AI for the next 10 years
Not only would it ban any new regulations, it would repeal all existing bans and regulations.
This may be confusing bc states rights, right? Well, since the federal government is currently being controlled by the people that also run these private AI companies, these companies would get to decide what a federal regulation would cover (if anything) and if it actually gets enforced (hard to do if you disband the entire federal government that handles oversight and protection of rights. That means even if you live in a deep blue state, you could end up in the same mass surveillance boat as me in bright red Louisiana, with no way to stop it no matter how much you beg your local leaders.
Not good, right? So please for the love of God, make sure you, and everyone you know make as much noise as possible so that doesn't happen!
