I feel hopeless about the future because of AI, surveillance, and billionaires gaining too much power. Is there any hope this won’t happen?

I’m feeling pretty worried about the future. It seems like politicians and billionaires are gaining more and more control through things like AI surveillance, facial recognition, and online age verification. I can’t help but think these tools could be used to limit free speech, and once that happens, protesting or speaking out would be almost impossible because everything we do could be watched. On top of that, big companies keep getting bigger, and it feels like a few monopolies could end up controlling almost everything. As regular people, it seems like there’s not much we can do, and that’s a really scary thought. Is there any hope this won’t happen? It feels like people don’t even care about freedom anymore.

I feel like billionaires are going to have way too much power soon. They could shape public opinion through social media algorithms, set personalized prices using AI, and monitor employees with intelligent cameras that track how much they’re working. We’re screwed.

Edit: Many people disagree, but nobody’s explained why politicians wouldn’t do this or how we’d ever get free speech back in a world where we’re constantly watched.
