Chinese surveillance tech, unironically. The next great experiment after social media is the increasing use of tech to control people with an personalized granularity that free-market capitalism could never dream to achieve.

In other words, the plot of MGS2.

> Chinese-style surveillance tech, unironically

Yeah, now that you mention it the one thing at which AI is really good at is image recognition.

There was this drone video [1] of a busy intersection posted on my country's sub-reddit recently, and from second 0:11 or so the way that the software is able to "recognise" and assign an unique ID to each and every car from that intersection is very Minority Report-y. What's scarier is that this looks like consumer-level stuff, not some fancy state-run surveillance thingie.

I assume the drone is Chinese-made, most probably also the software that made that identification possible.
