Summary
Chapter 10 predicts the “future” of chilling effects – which today looks darker and more dystopian than ever in light of the proliferation of new forms of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation technologies in society. The author here introduces a new term “superveillance” to explain new forms of AI-driven systems of automated legal and social norm enforcement that will likely cause mass societal chilling effects at an unprecedented scale. The author also argues how chilling effects today enable this more oppressive future and proposes a comprehensive law and public policy reforms and solutions to stop it.
