> Almost all company,... have surveillance...

If i understand correctly, OP was working on surveillance-enabling AI technology. Unlike traditional surveillance, it can actually scales.

and no, how high the false rate the AI is doesn't really matter. What really matters is is the fear of being constantly watched

They are all the same, surveillance-enabling, traditional surveillance is still surveillance and both fall under surveillance capitalism.

For website owners, as soon as you run or load Google Analytics, you are participating in surveillance capitalism for Google.

Same with email tracking links, IoT devices sending tracking data, product analytics or any identifying information.
