Co-founder of Oracle, Larry Ellison, who serves as the cloud giant's CTO, has been part of the tech industry's furniture for decades now. Looking ahead, he projects the rise of technologies such as AI, drones, and additional monitoring systems.
“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on." — Larry Ellison, September 2024
The modern surveillance state
Ellison's warning came during an hour-long Q&A at an Oracle financial analyst meeting in September 2024.
This world that Ellison describes revolves around AI technologies processing huge amounts of video footage from the explosion of cameras in the streets, cars, front doors, and even police officers. AI will, he added, automatically report issues that it detects while it's analyzing footage captured in real time.
With so much opportunity to scan and detect wrongdoing across society, and AI reducing the processing and decision-making burden, Ellison posited that citizens will, in kind, respond by adjusting their behavior. This vision is eerily similar to that George Orwell described in his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, in which Big Brother oversaw the daily actions of citizens.

When he finds out and complains, just tell him, ‘privacy is over. Get over it.’”
But illegals will be more free than ever to do as they please, in defiance of ours laws.

I just wanted to punch him in the face, I knew he was right, but I was lying to myself and wanted to continue to pretend I had some.
