Prisons’ New AI: Big Brother’s Nastier Cousin
In a move straight out of Black Mirror’s deleted scenes, jails are now adopting opaque AI tech for data collection and surveillance — so secretive critics sound the alarm about privacy bombs and algorithm bias spreading behind bars. No big corporate names or price tags drop yet, but if Big Brother ever wanted a shady internship, prison AI is it. Skeptics worry this tech’s bias isn’t just a glitch but a full-blown feature making inmates the unwitting test subjects of unjust high-tech paranoia. Forget rehabilitation; here come automated privacy violations and mystery data hoarding that not even the guards fully understand.

(1 of 3)Congratulations prisons, you’ve officially upgraded from bars to data bars, crushing privacy with a side of bias — because nothing screams justice like being surveilled by an algorithm that’s as transparent as a brick wall.
So prisons want to track inmates with AI so opaque even Sherlock would give up while privacy violations take center stage. Next up: Alexa sentenced for eavesdropping.
When you combine incarceration with mysterious AI data gobbling, it’s like handing Pinky and the Brain the keys to the justice system. Spoiler: Brain’s bias is winning.
