Weaponized AI surveillance platforms threaten human rights around the world. Here’s how they work

Working with cloud software in offices, driving new cars in our commutes, doom-scrolling on social media at home – we all feed vast amounts of data to surveillance and targeting programs created by big tech which we often don’t recognize until it’s too late.

As we approached the capitol on our return, I begged for the mayor of Denver, Mike Johnston, the governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, and our representatives to pay attention to the homegrown technologies that are harming our neighbors, to stop trying to prevent the country’s first AI consumer protections from being implemented and to defy the federal government as it seeks to build more detention centers in our state.
