At the TechCrunch Disrupt 2023 event, Meredith Whittaker, president of the encrypted messaging app Signal, stated that artificial intelligence is largely a surveillance technology. She believes that AI requires vast amounts of user data to sustain its business model, which has exacerbated the growth of surveillance-based advertising since the late 1990s. Whittaker's perspective alerts us to the massive surveillance business ecosystem behind artificial intelligence. This business model relies on the collection and processing of massive amounts of user data. Meanwhile, a large number of human resources maintain this industry chain at a low cost. Artificial intelligence inherently possesses surveillance attributes, and the privacy and ethical issues it brings are of high concern to all sectors of society.
