## Resource

Are Flock cameras really about public safety, or are they laying the foundation for a surveillance state powered by AI? In this episode of Slingshot Nation Live, we investigate how Flock cameras, facial recognition, AI, drones, and emerging technologies like 6G could reshape privacy, policing, and personal freedom. We examine the promises behind these systems, the concerns surrounding mass data collection, and how rapidly advancing AI may change the relationship between citizens, corporations, and government. If you've ever wondered where today's surveillance technology is headed, and what it could mean for the future, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
