If they can't chip everyone, they will still catalog everyone as much as possible. "AI" still isn't really intelligent but very good at pattern identification, within the parameters humans direct them towards.
And we see the development of this everywhere.

I don't think we can kill AI or even the Internet of Things.
They do have some very good applications for everyone.
The best way to handle tech like facial recognition is to return the power to the states and local communities.
Tech isn't the problem. Its CENTRALIZATION of tech in the hands of power-hungry people is the problem.
Can't disagree with the premise. Just doesn't seem like this is going to be open source or transparent, ever. Sorry but I'm sort of black pilled on this part.
The good guys will decentralize "control" and the bad guys will continue doing whatever they want in the background. Take smartphones and their apps, for instance - the data can be captured at very many points, or the deep state can simply open their office in the relay stations or HQ of the appropriate company, without the public knowing.
I had an online bank account which I didn't use for a long time and the bank inactivated it with out asking. They then demanded I go to a third party credit rating agency and submit my drivers licence and a selfie for facial recognition before they would close the account and transfer funds. They said it was because of money laundering.
I said no way. I said that there was no way I would send my biometric data to a third party who I didn't trust and they shouldn't require me to.I told them that giving away my biometric data make it available for government and big business abuse.
They said that it was they system Experian (credit scroe company uses so I should trust them) Ha! I said I didn't.
After a month or so, they came up with an alternative suggestion that I send a notorised copy of my drivers licence and a utility bill for the bank's records and not to be passed to a third party. I did this at my own personal cost. I don't know if they have transferred the funds yet.
I wish everyone would try to resist this biometric data theft. Governments and corporations are not to be trusted with this data, they will abuse it. You can't stop them once you have given them the data.
At the self checkout at the grocery store they show the camera pic of you with the little box around your face. Are they collecting data at the self checkouts now?
Of course they are. Why else would they put in that investment? Obviously thieves aren't getting prosecuted, so it wouldn't be for evidence.
