Oracle founder Larry Ellison recently stated in a public speech that a surveillance network composed of police body cameras, vehicle-mounted cameras, and autonomous drones is gradually taking shape under the full oversight of AI. The system operates by using artificial intelligence to analyze video data in real time, fully recording the actions of both police officers and citizens, and automatically triggering reporting mechanisms if abnormal behavior is detected.

Ellison emphasized that the goal of this system is to achieve “zero-blind-spot” public oversight, allowing every movement of individuals to be tracked in order to prevent abuse of power and unlawful conduct. At the same time, however, it has sparked concerns about privacy and personal freedom. Critics warn that when every action is monitored and automatically reported by machines, society risks becoming a “transparent cage,” placing unprecedented pressure on both citizens and law enforcement.
It is worth noting that this type of AI-driven, panoramic surveillance was first piloted by the Communist Chinese government domestically. Analysts point out that China’s monitoring practices provided an early prototype for this model, and its technological logic and social consequences may become a central topic of debate in other countries.
As for Ellison’s family background, he was born in 1944 in the Bronx, New York. His mother was a young unmarried Jewish woman, while his father’s identity remains unknown. He grew up in a Jewish community, later entered the business world in the United States, and maintained close ties with the government.
