Edward Snowden

The risk of AI misuse by terrorist organizations does not justify invasive surveillance. Sacrificing our privacy and freedoms in the name of security sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the very values we aim to protect. Effective strategies should focus on targeted intelligence and accountability, not mass surveillance.

The mass surveillance apparatus is often justified by identity verification, but this compromises individual privacy. We should protect our rights and be cautious about how much personal information we share with governments or corporations.

I strongly believe that the international community must intervene if a dictator attempts to use brain-computer interfaces to create a non-consensual borg collective. Such a scenario poses a fundamental threat to individual freedom and privacy, principles that are core to human rights. Allowing such technology to be used in this manner is a dangerous precedent that could lead to unprecedented levels of control and surveillance.
