In his book Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, physicist Max Tegmark makes a lot of predictions about the new ethical paradigms likely to be adopted in the future. Among his projections is that people may get so used to and actually enjoy living in a totalitarian society. Many people hate dictatorship because they believe the system violates individual freedom. They also believe totalitarianism often leads to serious misjudgments and human errors by the state machinery, corruption, or even war and famine. However, according to Tegmark, the global trend of mass surveillance mounted by the state through artificial intelligence (AI) on its people is irreversible, no matter whether it is in a democratic or authoritarian society.
