Larry Ellison: AI-powered surveillance system could police citizens

Ellison said artificial intelligence will be used in the future to constantly track and analyze vast surveillance systems such as security cameras, police cameras, doorbell cameras and vehicle dash cameras.

“We’ll have surveillance,” Ellison said. “Every police officer will be monitored at all times and if there is a problem, the AI ​​will report that problem and report it to the right person. Citizens will be on their best behavior as we are constantly recording and reporting everything that happens. .”

Ellison also expects AI drones to replace police cars in high-speed chases. “You just have a drone to follow the car,” Ellison said. “It’s very simple in the age of autonomous drones.” He did not say whether those drones would broadcast the pursuits on network news.

Ellison’s company, Oracle, like almost every company these days, is aggressively pursuing opportunities in the AI ​​industry. It already has several projects in the works, including one in partnership with Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

Ellison is the sixth richest man in the world, with a net worth of $157 billion, according to Bloomberg.

Ellison’s children have made a name for themselves in the film industry. His daughter Megan Ellison founded her production company Annapurna Pictures in 2011, and his son David Ellison is set to become CEO of Paramount after it completes its merger with Skydance Media.
