Billionaire Larry Ellison envisions a future where AI-driven surveillance systems ensure strict societal oversight. Walking through a typical suburban street already feels like being constantly monitored by doorbell cameras, but Ellison believes this is just the beginning.
At an Oracle financial analysts meeting, Ellison shared his vision of AI ushering in a new era of surveillance. He discussed how AI could continuously monitor various surveillance tools such as security cameras, police body cameras, and vehicle dashboard cameras, allowing for real-time analysis and reporting.
According to Ellison, this technology would provide constant supervision, particularly for law enforcement. If any issues arise, AI would flag them and notify the appropriate authorities, ensuring that people are always aware of being watched and, consequently, behave accordingly.
Ellison also predicted that AI-powered drones could replace police cars in high-speed chases, following vehicles autonomously. However, he did not specify if these chases would be broadcast on media outlets.
Like many companies, Oracle is investing heavily in AI, working on several projects, including a partnership with Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
With a net worth of $157 billion, Ellison ranks as the sixth-richest person in the world. His children, Megan and David Ellison, have established themselves in the film industry, with Megan founding Annapurna Pictures and David poised to lead Paramount after its merger with Skydance Media.
