Beware the Power of AI Censorship

AI-driven censorship can severely impact individuals by affecting their social credit scores based on online behavior, leading to exclusion from essential services and social platforms. In scenarios like China's '15-minute cities,' rigid biometric systems restrict access to basic necessities, such as one's own home, based on algorithmically determined creditworthiness. This system of mass surveillance and automated exclusion illustrates the dangers of large-scale censorship, where discretion typically applied by people is replaced by sweeping, inescapable AI algorithms.
