Listen "AI and Surveillance-EP19"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of AI Ascent, we explore the complex and often unsettling world of AI-powered surveillance, using Palantir as a case study to examine how these technologies are transforming society. While such systems offer powerful tools for public safety and national security, they also raise profound questions about privacy, accountability, and the balance between freedom and control. Drawing on insights from philosopher Michel Foucault and real-world developments, we confront the central tension between technological advancement and democratic values, and ask what role each of us plays in shaping the future of surveillance in the age of artificial intelligence.
