What Is Surveillance Communism?

#artificialintelligence

I just released a blog yesterday about a concept that I believe was coined by Professor Zuboff, called surveillance capitalism. This is basically where corporations with the implementation of artificial intelligence are able to track your online viewing and shopping habits, making educated suggestions to you based off the mining of such data. And it has led to a number of extremely serious ethical concerns. In line with that, I want to speak today about how artificial intelligence has been used in the introduction of what's called surveillance communism. This, at least given my background and research, is far more terrifying; but if the two could be combined in some politico-economic system, it would be perhaps one of the most dystopian realities a person could conceive.
