    Imagine if our every move was monitored and recorded with pinpoint accuracy with the latest tech in 2060. Every criminal act would be caught in 4K. People would have zero privacy and full and swift justice.

    Would you allow it to champion justice, or would you choose privacy instead?

    I think the right to private life is a basic human right which should not be denied. It’s probably not too improbable to have devices in the future where we can see read each others minds and thoughts.

    I would opt for privacy at the risk of injustice because sometimes good or neutral deeds can be open to misinterpretation. Although transparency is trust as well because if all intention could be inferred from the beginning crime rates would dramatically drop.

    So, 8 billion people x 24 hours x 500 angles. How does the video get processed? Where does it get stored? Who decides what is criminal and what isn’t? Who judges whether a particular behavior constitutes a crime?

    I imagine AI woudl be able to do it based on parameters set up by some committee /government

    Too many quesions inherent in this small sketch. I'm not all that interested in privacy or freedom as a themes so these sorts of scenarios don't set me off the way they do libertarian types.

    mean?

    If you are talking about a dystopia with instant death sentences, then perhaps not, hey?
