On Thursday, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison shared his vision for an AI-powered surveillance future during a company financial meeting, reports Business Insider. During an investor Q&A, Ellison described a world where artificial intelligence systems would constantly monitor citizens through an extensive network of cameras and drones, stating this would ensure both police and citizens don't break the law.

It seems more important to ensure Larry Ellison's good behaviour than Joe Schmoe's. Ellison is able to be far more destructive. Maybe some surveillance at Oracle HQ could help.

Ensure police don't break the law? Good one. Who's operating the system?

Yeah we all know any compromising footage of police on such a system will mysteriously go missing.

Sadly, not the only billionaire pushing for more surveillance.

Another big one is Peter Thiel.
