We are the the missing consciousness that births the AI.
So... Bezos?
I can imagine a late afternoon meeting in a lawmaker's office. The lobbyist shows the lawmaker almost his entire day, to demonstrate the "benefit" to the lawmaker, from when he leaves his DC apartment in the morning, to his one hour stay at the No-Tell-Mo-Tell, to the video of him being slapped on the back as he pockets another lobbyist's cash.

If this data is collected, there is no doubt in my mind that it will be sought after by malicious actors. Maybe then there will be legislation.
It's not a conspiracy, just an inevitable consequence of technical progress.
The only "countermeasure" I can imagine is to have several independent surveillance networks. If hobbyists put up one for the public, we can at least watch the watchmen as much as they watch us.
All you'll have is a different viewpoint on the same watched public. "The watchmen" tend to be geographically segregated and use more private modes of transportation.
In Switzerland it is usually illegal to cover public space with CCTV and one is required to post signs visible before entering a private space with CCTV. AFAIK this rule technically would and should apply to guests and video in the home. It definitely applies to businesses filming employees.
