Surveillance, Privacy and AI

How do digital surveillance cultures reshape ideas around privacy and security? What connections exist between the regulation of digital spaces, governments, private corporations, and individual users? How do AI and automated processes challenge or perpetuate established practices around education and citizenship?  How are these systems embedded in or resistant of systemic structures of power?
