Surveillance Company Flock Now Using AI to Report Us to Police if it Thinks Our Movement Patterns Are “Suspicious” | ACLU
Company crosses a dangerous line by beginning to offer AI suspicion-generation functions
Flock? as in sheep? is that name for a surveillance company revealing how they feel about civilians?
It really does feel like a lazy too-on-the-nose name from a sci-fi dystopia writer who REALLY wants to make sure you get the point that the company is evil. It just sounds creepy without even getting into the obvious connotations.
Also their website looks like it was inspired by the evil company from that Watchdogs game.
