On this week’s podcast, a nonprofit in New Orleans has been using real-time surveillance using a network of cameras throughout the city to monitor for people of interest and then alerting police to pick them up.
We begin the podcast by recognizing Memorial Day.
John addresses racing trivia and Tim has a trivia question of his own.
We discuss what expectations citizens have regarding privacy and John describes related Supreme Court cases.
We both deny that efficacy is an adequate justification for sweeping surveillance.
Tim asserts that the law, which has assumed that surveillance depends on individual human efforts, has not caught up with the realities of modern computer technology.
We both agree that guardrails are necessary.
Tim’s whack-Job is a journalist who got caught using AI.
John’s hero was a hard-working, good, and decent person.
