A few decades ago, I knew some policemen. Part of their jobs were to patrol major hotels and other places incognito.
Probably, the intelligence services did similar things.
Scary world?
Another thought. If you were an intelligent, happy and extremely conscientious worker, would you like to work remotely or at the office?
Some people can work independently, others cannot. Would it be better to have have intelligent, happy and extremely conscientious employees work remotely, rather than being annoyed by others who aren't?
Autonomous driving and drivers? Automation and workers? Artificial intelligence and translators, analysts, writers, teachers, etc.?
Maybe preparations are in order?
AI is being used now at large corporations to automate work processes (financial, logistics, transactions, payroll, etc.) for analytics, checking for duplication and abnormalities, and other stuff.
Business software with features utilizing AI have just started to come out in the past couple of years. The developers are getting more data and upgrading features. Should be the same in other sectors.
The sales pitch is that it frees up staff to do more productive work, but the bottom line is reduction of labor costs. You need less staff to do more work.
