Is that really overlooked? I've been seeing (very justified) concerns about the use of AI and machine learning for surveillance for over a decade.

It was even the subject of a popular network TV show (Person of Interest) with 103 episodes from 2011-2016.

The topic as a whole isn't overlooked but I think the societal impact is understated even by Hollywood. When every security camera is networked and has a mind of its own things get really weird and that's before we consider the likes of Boston Dynamics.

A robotic police officer on every corner isn't at all far fetched at that point.
