AI surveillance capitalism denotes socio-technical systems in which artificial intelligence is built on pervasive data extraction, monitoring, and behavioral profiling across workplaces, cities, and digital platforms. It encompasses algorithmic management of labor, predictive policing, facial recognition infrastructures, and emerging neurotechnologies that capture neural and biometric signals. Scholarship in this area examines hidden data labor, geoeconomic and corporate surveillance infrastructures, mental and data privacy, differential impacts on marginalized workers and refugees, and evolving legal frameworks such as neural data protection and democratic accountability mechanisms for high-risk surveillance technologies.
