What I find most disturbing is the viewpoint underlying this article, an emerging faith in AI and a magical ability to divine things about the world, with no discussion of its strengths and limitations, its false positives, false negatives, true positives, etc.

It's starting to approach that point in the adoption curve where skepticism fades and people think of it as the solution for (or threat to) everything, rather than as a tool that is good at some things and not at others and that has characteristics like accuracy. With AI and the widespread blind acceptance of our surveillance society, that could be a dangerous point of view for the public to embrace.
