  • Flock, a surveillance company, uses AI to analyze driving patterns and report 'suspicious' movement to police.
  • The company's system tracks nationwide vehicle movements, allowing police to search records and now generate suspicion via AI.
  • New features like 'Multi-State Insights' and 'Linked Vehicles' expand surveillance to track associations and cross-state movements.
  • Concerns include lack of transparency about AI algorithms, potential biases, and over-policing of marginalized communities.
  • Critics argue such systems lead to mission creep and undermine privacy, urging communities to reject mass surveillance.
