AI is the Good Big Brother
Orwell wasn’t wrong about tyranny. He just didn’t write the chapter where the eyes help the good guys. My version: a reframe: keep the “eyes,” but chain them to consent, crime-only use, short retention, and human judgment—so the benefits land where your readers live (safety, clarity, 2 a.m. help) without the dystopia. AI watches over us—so first responders get there faster, scams die on the vine, and evidence is clear enough to exonerate the innocent and nail the guilty.
