Background
We are concerned behaviour surveillance technologies and AI may be used to charge people more based on their circumstances and habits. This could exacerbate inequalities as more economically desperate people could be charged more for essentials. We believe this is an affront to a free and open society and democracy. We believe any claims of saving carbon are a non-starter as this has such a minuscule impact to be useful.
