>That's how it has worked for a long time, that's changing with them utilizing AI
AI is just the latest buzzword. Give me an example of how AI will actually work to find "bad guys" and not edgy basement dwellers. Israel's goal is to exterminate the Palestinians, so it matters not if they hit the correct house, because their AI "Lavender" gave them the pretextual justification.

We've been using metadata to kill people for decades and it only works in permissive enviroments where you can postfacto declare the corpses killed by hellfires were "enemy combatants" even if they were 11 year old girls.

You're talking about actions taken against American citizens on US soil via constitutionally limited law enforcement with at least SOME legal checks and balances.

I know that UK is scanning text and email messages looking for evidence of tax cheating. Good luck with busting the babysitter for undeclared income.

The AI and comprehensive surveillance works really well going the other direction, building network node maps of connections to identify key players once you've identified an individual. BTW, they've had this tech PRE internet, specifically, the DEA had staff located at ATT offices (avoiding the need for warrants) and would build network maps of drug dealer networks. Even if someone changed their number, unless the entire network changed all their numbers, the person could be identified WITHOUT EVEN INTERCEPTING THE AUDIO.

The reason why I'm so cynical is because I have peripheral experience in this field. Sieving the data ultimately has to be done by a skilled analyst because automated systems are retarded.

Do you remember the case where a guy was awarded a million bucks because a drug sniffing dog sniffed his seat, so he was arrested, taken to the hospital, forcibly drugged and given a colonscopy against his will, all because a drug dog liked his burrito farts left in the seat?
