Manish Chopra seemed to be the only one with realistic and reasonable takes. The other ones were more dystopian in my opinion. Sure, better data will allow us to solve problems better, but it also introduces more worries. Tracking everything can be incredibly tiring and will negatively affect our mental health. There is also the question of who owns the data? How can and will this data be used against me by corporations and governments?

Great question! There’s a lot of information on this topic, with a particular interest in the differences between the two world superpowers driving all of this. In the u.s, the incentive of having data/analytics or tracking people is an economic one. In China, theres never been any incentive. They’ve basically been ripping off American companies until recently. At this point there’s nothing to steal and they don’t need us because there’s a new generation of educated Chinese people who are educated are in a position to invent new tech and innovate what we already have. The us government may demand access to data whenever they deem necessary but it won’t make a difference because our government officials don’t know anything about this topic, and a lot of them are very old. China monitors everyone and it’s a huge invasion of privacy, but it only makes them a safer and stronger society. If we have the ability to prevent crimes and bad behaviour as small as littering we ought to do so.
