Stop the AI Surveillance Pipeline!
From work to ICE, here’s how we resist AI surveillance
The more AI surveillance grows, the more we see ICE abducting our neighbors, bosses making our jobs lower paying and less secure, landlords jacking up our rents, businesses secretly raising the cost of goods and services, and corporations and their political allies surveilling our communities and silencing dissent.
We call the system that starts with you generating a single data point, and then leads to any of the above happening, the AI Surveillance Pipeline. We’re all at risk, and we won’t stand for it.
From the workplace to ICE, communities across the country are taking action to push back against Big Tech, protect our human rights, and Stop the AI Surveillance Pipeline Now!
This toolkit provides a popular education board game/zine in Spanish and English, videos, and resources to help organizers, community members, and grassroots groups facilitate conversations on the AI surveillance pipeline and how we fight back.
