Increasing Smart AI Surveillance

Former US Central Intelligence Agency analyst and subcontractor, Edward Snowden, and the WikiLeaks revelations show the astonishing measures taking place globally to monitor the behavior, feelings, and attitudes of everyone. Snowden lifted the lid on "Tempora", an electronic surveillance program operated by Britain's eavesdropping agency GCHQ (General Communications HeadQuarters). He also revealed the US government uses a software program called "Boundless Informant" which details and maps by country the vast data gathered by the ultra secretive National Security Agency from private phones and computer systems. Many secret software programs, search engines, spyware, malware, and other related data mining methods are being used 24/7 on everyone who accesses the Internet on any device, including cellphone calls. Anti-Malware, Anti-Spyware, and other protection software can easily be bypassed by most hackers. With computer algorithms and artificial intelligence systems developing increasing sophistication, as human oversight decreases, everyone should be very concerned about the potential for unaccountable secret intelligence agencies to take our information, privacy, and ultimately our freedom.
