Artificial intelligence took center stage at this year’s CES gadget show, but not always for the right reasons.

Identify possible migrants and notify ICE. Detect illegal activities in your home and call the police on you. Scan the faces of every person that walks by your house to compile into commercial tracking products sold to government agencies and corporations.
Give information about you visitors, and your movements, to tech companies.

Deskbound AI ‘soulmate’ companion is always watching your eyes
It’s not a surveillance device. It’s your soulmate!
You mock, but it’s my golden ticket to getting my virginity back.

It’s all greed and fomo
100% can confirm… my tiny employer is sinking tons of man hours into AI.
Does it solve business any need? Nope. But AI!
…because it’s what plants crave!

And if you’re a cow it’ll inseminate you.
