1984 anyone?
A new national program is turning meter-maids into spies. Yes, meter-maid spies. These 00s are learning how to detect suspicious behavior. But what exactly is suspicious behavior? Are they going to be looking for bombs or listening to conservations? If only Orwell was still alive?
I remember reading a couple weeks ago about how New york city was looking into artificially intelligent cameras to spy on the streets. Basically these cameras are so smart that they can detect when someone leaves a bag or when someone suspiciously drives around the same street multiple times and they can scan license plates automatically. Things are getting crazy.
