De-anonymized Tracking: The Metaphor of Skynet

Zipei Tu ()

Chapter Chapter 2 in The New Civilization Upon Data, 2022, pp 29-53 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Sky-net arrived almost at the same time as the Internet. It was one of the earliest examples of what we call the Internet of Things, a human surveillance network, the smart city's retina… Up in the sky, there was a pair of eyes looking down on us like a god. They're better than human eyes, of course, with advanced playback and analysis functions. As its ability to discern objects improved, it could begin tracking and modeling objects below it (people and cars, for example) in real time. As Skynet crops up in more locations, it will change the way we behave in and organize our public spaces.
