WackyCoder™ Senior AI Lesson
This recovered lesson explains A.I. surveillance: cameras, apps, websites, devices, and systems collecting information about people and using artificial intelligence to analyze behavior, patterns, identity, or movement.
Where the data can come from
- Smartphones — location, searches, and app use
- Security cameras — faces, movement, and license plates
- Social media — posts, likes, friends, and photos
- Websites and shopping — clicks, purchases, and browsing history
- Voice assistants — commands and recordings
- Smart devices — watches, doorbells, and home devices
Practical protections
- Review privacy settings regularly
- Turn off tracking you do not need
- Limit app permissions
- Be careful what you post online
- Use strong passwords and two-factor authentication
- Ask why an app needs particular data
Class discussion
When does surveillance become too invasive? Is convenience worth giving up privacy? Who should control your data?
Key takeaway: A.I. surveillance can support safety and convenience, but people deserve privacy, choice, and transparency.
