If the same monitoring is present on buses and private planes, homeless hostels and mega-mansions then it absolutely is better.

I mean, presumably the AI wouldn't just be monitoring people sleeping under bridges, but would also be able to effectively cut through tax evasion bullshit, insider trading, bribery, etc.
