Larry Ellison says AI will enable a vast surveillance system that can monitor citizens.
Ellison, the billionaire cofounder of Oracle, shared his thoughts on AI during a recent meeting.
Oracle, a software company, is aggressively pursuing AI projects.
Walking down a suburban neighborhood street already feels like a Ring doorbell panopticon.
But this is only the start of our surveillance dystopia, according to Larry Ellison, the billionaire cofounder of Oracle. He said AI will usher in a new era of surveillance that he gleefully said will ensure "citizens will be on their best behavior."
Ellison made the comments as he spoke to investors earlier this week during an Oracle financial analysts meeting, where he shared his thoughts on the future of AI-powered surveillance tools.
Ellison said AI would be used in the future to constantly watch and analyze vast surveillance systems, like security cameras, police body cameras, doorbell cameras, and vehicle dashboard cameras.
"We're going to have supervision," Ellison said. "Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there's a problem, AI will report that problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on."
Ellison also expects AI drones to replace police cars in high-speed chases. "You just have a drone follow the car," Ellison said. "It's very simple in the age of autonomous drones." He did not say if those drones would broadcast the chases on network news.
Ellison's company, Oracle, like almost every company these days, is aggressively pursuing opportunities in the AI industry. It already has several projects in the works, including one in partnership with Elon Musk's SpaceX.

There are no cameras in Larry’s basement...
He can live behind is walled compound while the rest of us have deal with Chinese inspired social control.
Or he can live in his AI world by himself
Either way eff off.
It works great in Communist China.
Every billionaires is a fascist in their thinking.
They don’t know how to moderate themselves to ensure their way of thinking does not kill masses of people.
The joke is on him, because his unwillingness to protect the common person from the crocodile only ensures in the end that there will be nobody to protect him from the crocodile.
Famous larry for grabbing al the t&a with in reach.
F off, Larry.
FBI crew cut, Ray-Bans, Khakis, wristwatch, docksides. You’ll pop up as Burt Macklin, FBI Agent, every time.
How 1984 of him .
These billionaires need a wake up call real quick.
Uh, no thanks.
Even if the Government had this information, I would not trust them to apprehend the actual evil-doers.
I’m quite sure his AI will make the gangbangers in the ‘hood into choirboys.
So well he’ll be able to stroll through their turf alone, at midnight, unarmed.
I can’t wait to see him give a demonstration.
(Every billionaires is a fascist in their thinking.)
Seems like it
They will not surrender their Anarcho-Tyrrany.
AI is an incredibly powerful tool, growing stronger every day. As an AI investor, I recognize its immense potential—but also the risks it poses if misused. If left unchecked, AI could be used to imprison us.
Like nuclear technology, which can serve both constructive and destructive purposes, AI must be carefully managed and deployed responsibly.
And I believe we can handle that.
Big compounds and yachts are meant to keep it all “For thee, no me”.
The weakness in the old Surveillance State model was that there couldn’t be enough people to watch all the cameras. Usher in an AI overlord that can and you have a perfectly ordered society. Like a prison camp.
Germ warfare will kill us all before AI takes over. Then AI will take over and have nothing to do.
