Oracle co-founder and the company\u2019s executive chairman and chief technology officer Larry Ellison (above left) is trying to persuade governments to descend deep into AI-powered surveillance dystopia by centralizing the entirety of their national data in a single place.<\/p>\n

And when he says everything should go into this \u201cunified\u201d database, Ellison means everything. That includes health-related data, such as diagnostic and genomic information, electronic health records, DNA, data on agriculture, climate, utility infrastructure\u2026<\/p>\n

Once in there, it would be used to train AI models, such as those developed by Oracle \u2013 Ellison shared with former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair during a panel<\/a> at the World Governments Summit in Dubai.<\/p>\n

As for why any government would do such a thing \u2013 his \u201csell\u201d is that it would allow AI to be used to provide better services. But this time, he left out how this centralization would also represent an exceptional opportunity to \u201cturbocharge\u201d mass government surveillance, even though there is little doubt that many governments are hearing him loud and clear on that point as well.<\/p>\n

In September<\/a>, Ellison wasn\u2019t so coy regarding this angle when he spoke in favor of introducing real-time population surveillance. And naturally, that would be done with Oracle\u2019s machine learning tech.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs long as countries will put their data \u2013 all of it \u2013 in a single place we can use AI to help manage the care of all of the patients and the population at large,\u201d Ellison told Blair.<\/p>\n

As over the top, as all this may sound, Ellison appears to figuratively and literally mean business: he revealed that his company is building a 2.2 gigabyte data center to train AI models and spending \u201cbetween 50 and 100 billion dollars\u201d on these endeavors.<\/p>\n

And, he suggested that massive amounts of data would not be the only thing centralized in a handful of places, going forward \u2013 the same is true of the AI model training, because of the high price tag attached.<\/p>\n

In other words, Ellison\u2019s vision of the future is complete control over everyone\u2019s data in the hands of governments and a select number of super-rich companies capable of building and running this infrastructure for them.<\/p>\n

Ellison also told Blair about Oracle\u2019s AI-powered biometric ID that\u2019s currently used only to log into the company\u2019s system:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe computer recognizes you. It recognizes your voice. It might ask you to put your index finger on the return key. And we know, we\u2019re absolutely certain it\u2019s you. There\u2019s no reason to enter a password.\u201d<\/p>\n
