From the post:

>A Chinese company has been trying to develop artificial intelligence-powered technology that would enable authoritarian governments to not just monitor dissidents but also potentially predict who could become one in the future. The work, which appears to be in the research stage, is ripped out of dystopian science fiction, offering a glimpse of a world in which an authoritarian state is able to move against its citizens before they begin any public dissent.

China is where all this shit is built and tested. Who could become a radical will never be determined by any AI. I've posted here before and I believe the man who burns down the US has no clue he will ever do it. Right now, he's a normal person going through the daily grind of life. Whatever sets him off hasn't happened but will and no AI will ever see it coming.

Built and tested by AMERICAN companies (at least at the start). IBM played a massive role on this tech to control entire populations and it was deployed and tested in a Chinese city specifically designed for surveillance. I wonder if I can find that old docu or if its been memory holed. I think it was released around 2005-2010?
