China Assigns Every Citizen A ‘Social Credit Score’ To Identify Who Is And Isn’t Trustworthy

[mindlight]

Ever see that TV show "Person of Interest"
There really is a AI computer system,just like it that monitors everyone everywhere using facial recognition software that takes pics of people thousands of times a day , and this trend is growing quickly

Even in that show I believe that the main activity of the AI was focused on national security for which it had a legal mandate. It was only a back door that made social security numbers of the wider population available to be auctioned. Also they did not abuse that information but used it to right wrongs and prevent murder etc.

The Chinese are using this as a means of social control without legal checks and balances. The possibility of abuse is terrifying and predictable.
