Oracle CEO Larry Ellison Envisions Mass AI Surveillance System to Encourage Responsible Behavior, Linked to Operation Stargate

Jan 22, 2025, 01:37 PM

Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle, has articulated a vision for a mass AI surveillance system designed to monitor citizens and police behavior. In a recent statement, he claimed that such a system would encourage individuals to act responsibly, stating, "Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’ll be watching and recording everything that’s going on." This proposal aligns with concerns regarding the rise of constant surveillance, likening it to a 'Big Brother' scenario. Ellison's comments have sparked discussions about the implications of a potential social credit score system, which would utilize AI technologies such as body cameras, car cameras, and drones to oversee public conduct. His remarks were made in the context of his support for President Trump, with whom he has been associated during initiatives like Operation Stargate.
