yeah that's already here in it's infancy. can't wait for some "AI algo" to be analyzing all the surveillance footage at my job in real time, especially since they upgraded to HD resolution, and for it to make judgements about who's working consistently and building metrics that we all know will be skewed and also just evil
the only comfort i have is knowing the sheer amount of compute that will be required by even something like that in just the one store i work at and i doubt anyone in the U.S. is going to build a new massive data center for like every 100 workers
but hearing how "AI" is being deployed in europe to criminalize welfare recipients without question makes me think they won't need the compute after all just an excuse to do the ghoul shit and AI is nothing but a great excuse

It's already being used, rumors are going around about surveillance tech development with AI in China (?)
i guess white collar work is easier to monitor so it doesn't surprise me it's first
public facing, physical labor i'm assuming will be a bigger challenge because the AI will have to analyze every second of video recorded. they have rolled out more and more digital hardware supposedly to make our work "easier" but it's just vectors for monitoring us but so far at least the work i do nothing is strapped onto my body quite yet
once the digital tool becomes mandatory and cannot leave your person I assume they can pull all kinds of data from whatever sensors are embedded (like Amazon already does)
we'll have company neighborhoods with company stores and schools, and company hospitals and clinics, etc.
With AI surveillance to monitor us in our daily lives to make sure we are working. If the algorithm determines a necessary downsize then people get kicked out of the company town.
Key stroke monitors, I believe that's what they call them. They "measure" the work a person is doing.
