This is just a test run, it's going to be global eventually. The main bottleneck for ubiquitous surveillance was always manpower. AI assisted summarization and curation fixes the issue. It's just too much power left on the table if politicians dont capitalize on it.

You're correct, unless we push back as a citizenry against it like France did when they raised their retirement age. We need to figure out how to fund lawsuits in every district that uses this type of surveillance software until it becomes too expensive to maintain.
