AI Surveillance and Control Risks Overshadow Sci-Fi Doomsday Fears

A US House subcommittee hearing on AI security revealed that real threats — mass surveillance, erosion of privacy, unaccountable automated systems controlling critical infrastructure — are already reshaping daily life with little transparency or legal recourse. For students of prophecy, this normalisation of total monitoring and control over populations echoes the conditions described in Revelation, where a global system tracks, profiles, and restricts access to basic necessities for all people. Revelation 13:16-17 warns of a coming system where no one may buy or sell without compliance — today's AI-powered infrastructure surveillance and water-access scenarios are early-stage rehearsals of exactly that architecture.
