Billionaire Drools That "Citizens Will Be on Their Best Behavior" Under Constant AI Surveillance

Hello!

"You just have a drone follow the car," Ellison said, per BI. "It's very simple in the age of autonomous drones."

Ivory Power

This is all very rich coming from a guy who's, well, very rich. Depending on whose estimate you go by, Ellison's net worth is north of $200 billion, making him the second wealthiest person in the world behind Elon Musk (another tech bigwig who, it's worth mentioning, is currently profiting off government surveillance).

Under Ellison's stewardship, Oracle has been attempting to position itself as another leader in the AI race, and has quickly integrated the tech into its cloud computing services.

It's not a stretch to say that the Austin-based corporation will want to be part of that royal "we" Ellison is so fond of using that will oversee the "citizens."

Here's something worth noting, though: in 2022, Oracle was sued for running a "worldwide surveillance machine" which was facilitated by allegedly collecting billions of people's personal information and pawning it off to third parties.

It settled the case in July, agreeing to pay $115 million. Make of that what you will.
