Artificial Intelligence & The Coming Global Empire
By Britt Gillette
February 16, 2018
A series of recent news stories have highlighted the massive advances made in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Several of those focus on China's Yitu Technologies, a company at the forefront of AI development. Yitu created a technology called Dragonfly.
Dragonfly can search and analyze billions of photographs and locate a single person in a matter of seconds. Connected to cameras in the Shanghai Metro, it identified over 500 criminals in a three month period. It's so powerful it can recognize people wearing disguises. And it can identify people using pictures that are more than 30 years old.
Think of the power this gives the Chinese government. As Dragonfly connects to every camera in the nation, criminals will have nowhere to hide. Unfortunately, no one else will either. Chinese dissidents, political activists, ethnic minorities, Christians, and other "enemies of the state" will also have nowhere to hide. And it's quite unlikely China will be the only state to take advantage of this technology.
The Rise of Big Brother
In George Orwell's novel 1984, we're first introduced to "Big Brother" - an omnipresent, all-powerful and "well-intentioned" totalitarian regime. The book's hero, Winston Smith, lives in a world where every citizen is under 24/7 surveillance. Personal privacy doesn't exist.
