【福克斯新闻独家报道】据福克斯新闻数字频道获悉，包括Flock安全公司在内的四家公司的首席执行官将于下周受邀出席参议院小组委员会听证会，议员们正致力于打击利用AI监控摄像头追踪美国人行踪的行为。
包括多名议员和数名州长在内的各界人士已呼吁对AI辅助监控摄像头所生成的图像和数据处理涉嫌侵犯隐私的行为展开调查。
参议院司法小组委员会犯罪与反恐分会将于9月23日举行一场题为“始终在监视：Flock的全国性AI监控网络”的听证会。

“美国人在驾车上班、送孩子上学或前往教堂时，并未放弃他们的隐私权，”小组委员会主席、密苏里州共和党参议员乔希·霍利在一份声明中对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。“我正在调查这些公司，以确定谁有权访问数亿美国人的数据——以及他们将如何使用这些数据。”
Flock安全公司首席执行官加勒特·兰利、Axon企业公司首席执行官里克·史密斯、摩托罗拉解决方案公司首席执行官格雷格·布朗以及Verkada公司首席执行官菲利普·卡利桑均已受邀出席委员会听证会。
福克斯新闻数字频道已联系这四家受邀作证的公司。
AI辅助监控摄像头一直受到议员们的严格审查，他们担忧这些摄像头会毫无缘由地追踪个人行踪，无论是否存在犯罪行为。

多名政界人士已针对该设备采取行动，佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯下令移除佛罗里达州州道上的所有车牌识别摄像头，得克萨斯州州长格雷格·雅培下令所有州机构停止使用州经费采购Flock安全公司的摄像头。
Flock安全摄像头与其他同类品牌及技术利用人工智能自动追踪、识别车辆和车牌，供当地执法部门使用。全国范围内的担忧日益加剧，人们质疑这种AI辅助系统是否应该在没有搜查令或司机同意的情况下追踪车辆行踪。

全美除阿拉斯加州外的所有州目前共部署了约12万台Flock安全摄像头。
对Flock安全摄像头的反对形成了一个罕见的政治重叠阵营：共和党人和极左翼活动人士出于截然不同的原因批评这项技术。共和党议员的反对主要集中在隐私权、政府过度管控和未经搜查令的监控上，而社会主义和共产主义组织者则将摄像头纳入反对人工智能、执法、移民执法、数据中心建设以及他们所称的新兴“警察国家”或“AI监控国家”的 broader 运动中。

唐纳德·特朗普总统周一告诉记者，他支持Flock安全摄像头，“因为这有助于执法”，以及AI摄像头为警方和地方执法部门提供的帮助。
在过去一年中，与上海科技商人内维尔·罗伊·辛汉姆资助的网络有关联的数个极左翼组织组织了当地反对Flock安全摄像头的活动，同时还发起了反对新建数据中心项目的运动。与此同时，唐纳德·特朗普总统和其他共和党领导人继续支持数据中心建设，将其作为政府更广泛的技术和基础设施议程的一部分。

Flock cameras spark surveillance state fears as former Pentagon official warns of AI tracking
Flock safety cameras tracking American vehicles spark intense privacy debates as the ‘Outnumbered’ panel weighs security against government overreach. Former Pentagon AI policy director Mark Beall warns that these automated readers could create a ‘China-like surveillance state’ in local communities.

FIRST ON FOX: The CEOs of four companies, including Flock Safety, are being called to testify before a Senate panel next week as lawmakers look to crack down on AI-powered surveillance camera tracking Americans’ movements, Fox News Digital has learned.
A number of lawmakers and several governors have called for investigations into alleged privacy violations regarding the handling of images and data generated by AI-backed surveillance cameras.
The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism will hold a hearing titled “Always Watching: Flock’s Nationwide AI Surveillance Network” on Sept. 23.

“Americans do not surrender their privacy rights when they drive to work, drop their kids off at school, or go to church,” subcommittee Chairman Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., told Fox News Digital in a statement. “I’m investigating these companies to determine WHO has access to hundreds of millions of Americans’ data – and what they’re doing with it.”
Garrett Langley, CEO of Flock Safety, Rick Smith, CEO of Axon Enterprise Inc., Greg Brown, CEO of Motorola Solutions, and Filip Kaliszan, CEO of Verkada, have all been invited to testify before the committee.
Fox News Digital reached out to the four companies invited to testify.
AI-powered surveillance cameras have been heavily scrutinized by lawmakers over concerns that the cameras track individuals’ movements without reason, regardless of whether a crime is being committed.

A number of politicians have taken action against the devices, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ordering the removal of all license plate reader cameras from Florida state roads and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordering all state agencies to stop spending state money on Flock Safety cameras.
Flock Safety cameras, along with other similar brands and technology, use artificial intelligence to automatically track and identify vehicles and license plates for local law enforcement use. Nationwide concern has grown about whether the AI-backed system should be allowed to track the movement of vehicles without a warrant or the consent of drivers.

A total of about 120,000 Flock Safety cameras are operating in the U.S. in every state except Alaska.
Opposition to Flock Safety cameras has created an unlikely political overlap, with Republicans and far-left activists criticizing the technology for very different reasons. Republican lawmakers have largely centered their objections on privacy rights, government overreach and warrantless surveillance, while socialist and communist organizers have incorporated the cameras into broader campaigns opposing artificial intelligence, law enforcement, immigration enforcement, data center development and what they describe as an emerging “police state” or “AI surveillance state.”
LICENSE PLATE CAMERAS ARE TRACKING DRIVERS EVERYWHERE
President Donald Trump told reporters on Monday that he supports the idea of Flock Safety cameras “because of law enforcement” and the aid AI-powered cameras provide to police and local law enforcement.
Over the last year, several far-left organizations tied to a network funded by Shanghai-based tech businessman Neville Roy Singham have organized local opposition to Flock Safety cameras while simultaneously campaigning against new data center projects. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump and other Republican leaders have continued to champion data center construction as part of the administration’s broader technology and infrastructure agenda.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation’s Denver chapter teamed up with Indivisible and the far-left Sunrise Movement in May to promote a public forum focused on the alleged link between data centers and mass surveillance, contending that both exist to serve billionaires instead of everyday communities.
