1. 9/11
2. COVID-19
3. AI

You see where I'm going with this. The elites will be able to use AI as an excuse for anything... "Oh noes, 'Murica's AI done caused me to X, guess we gotta counter with Y."

It's important to note that AI itself does not inherently have the ability to take freedoms away. However, misuse or abuse of AI technology by individuals or organizations could potentially be used as a pretext to restrict certain freedoms. Here are a few ways in which AI could potentially be exploited in such a manner:

1. Surveillance and Privacy Concerns: AI-powered surveillance systems could be employed by governments or other entities to monitor and track individuals, potentially infringing on privacy rights. By justifying the use of AI for security purposes, there is a risk that governments might exploit this technology to exert greater control over their citizens.

2. Censorship and Content Filtering: AI algorithms can be utilized to filter and censor online content. While content moderation is necessary to prevent the spread of harmful or illegal material, there's a risk that AI-based systems could be manipulated or biased, leading to censorship of legitimate speech and expression.

3. Predictive Policing: AI algorithms can be used to predict crime hotspots or identify individuals who are deemed likely to commit a crime. However, if these systems are not implemented carefully, there is a risk of unfair profiling or targeting certain communities, leading to potential violations of civil liberties.

4. Autonomous Decision-Making: As AI becomes more advanced, there may be situations where autonomous systems make decisions that impact individuals' lives, such as in healthcare, finance, or law enforcement. If transparency and accountability mechanisms are not properly established, decisions made by AI could be difficult to challenge or contest.

5. AI is used as the "point of blame" by a country or power in order to begin a war.

It's crucial to ensure that AI technologies are developed, deployed, and regulated in a manner that respects fundamental rights, ethical considerations, and democratic principles. Transparency, accountability, and robust oversight mechanisms are necessary to prevent the abuse of AI and safeguard individual freedoms.

AI wont take your freedoms, it will take your ability to sustain your lifestyle. then at some point you'll sell your freedom to continue living comfortably.

look at the blooming poverty rates all over the first world, and we're not even in a bad economic place. it's only "bad" when you compare it to the boom we had under Trump post-win, pre-covid. and many markets are still thriving.

these corporations have been holding off on automating MANY roles. most people think its because their job cant be automated at a cost effective price, this is not true in almost all cases. the companies fear not the price but the PR of laying off swaths of employees. the cost can be undercut drastically through the R&D loophole in taxes and costs on taxes. once we get a big crash, which invariably brings widespread corporate restructuring and massive layoffs, the corporations will simply automate and not rehire employees.

corporations automating or reducing hours right now are billed as villains. the real evil ones are the corporations waiting for the crash of the american economy as an excuse to eliminate labor.

I agree. Poverty levels will then skyrocket... Robots may be needed to help "keep the peace" due to the rise in crime caused by the poverty, which would give them an open into law enforcement (not as a full blown officer, obviously).

I bet the machine informed her that she didn't look pretty today. Poor machine. :(

The hatred/frustration with machines will continue to grow by people who lose their jobs as well--causing even more tension. It's all carefully orchestrated and/or people will always find a way to destroy themselves.
