Algorithmic Surveillance

Algorithmic surveillance involves using computer algorithms to monitor and analyze people's activities, often through data collected from cameras, online behavior, or communication. These algorithms identify patterns, behaviors, or information that may be of interest, enabling authorities or organizations to track individuals or groups in real-time or retrospectively. While often used for security and crime prevention, it raises concerns about privacy and civil liberties. Essentially, it's a system that leverages advanced software to watch and interpret human behavior on a large scale, making surveillance more efficient but also more invasive.
