AI Will Keep You Safe…

"Using what the company calls AIsight (i.e., artificial intelligence) 'behavior recognition' algorithms, the BRS Telescreen watches for 'anomalous' behavior – anything that deviates from whatever 'norm' is programmed into its chilly, transistorized mind. We’re told it will detect – cue tired catchphrase – terrorists – but of course we’ll all be subject to the gimlet eye. Walk too slowly … linger too long … fail to move with the crowd … prima facie 'suspicious activity,' according to BRS. Such 'suspicious activity' then triggers an alert – and the human warders are called in to investigate."
