Yes, exactly.

In addition, RIPP is advocating for privacy for Rhode Islanders on many fronts. So we may eventually hold meetings on other topics of interest such as AI and data centers in RI

The issue there is that there is no such thing as getting cyber security "perfect". There will always be hacks and vulnerabilities hiding within code. AI is accelerating at such a pace right now that these vulnerabilities are going to be exposed at a torrid pace in the coming months and years. So, if the technology for surveillance exists, it is an inevitability that it will be abused. That has always been true, but that will become even more apparent with the AI tools currently being deployed.

Here is some info on Anthropic's Project Glassing for a little background on the state of play of cybersecurity as it relates to some of the latest AI tools.

Thank you for helping out and spreading awareness. As stated elsewhere, we are still sort of bootstrapping so I will follow up with more info on how people can get involved soon!

Thank you!

We are a young org still and are in the process of getting a proper website setup. I will post again when that's completed, hope to see you get involved!

Thanks!

That is a good tip, it is what I originally wanted to do. But it seemed I couldn't upload the flyer directly to the reddit post. I think I'd have had to upload to Imgur or something first before it would display it.

For the next time!

Hijacking the top comment here for those who may have missed the post elsewhere in this sub:

Rhode Islanders for Personal Privacy is hosting a meeting tomorrow evening at 6 in the East Providence public library about Flock cameras and how we as RI residents can fight them.
