Staff Reports
In a world where even your office microwave might be spying on you, it’s no surprise that big companies are now using futuristic artificial intelligence to monitor your every message and emoji. If you thought your boss reading over your shoulder was bad, imagine a robot scanning your emails and Slack messages for any hint of trouble.
Reports suggest that giants like Walmart, Delta Air Lines, T-Mobile, and others are jumping on the AI surveillance bandwagon faster than you can say “privacy violation.” It’s like Big Brother got a high-tech upgrade and is now watching you even when you think no one’s looking.

Now, if you think Amazon’s Alexa eavesdropping in your living room was bad, just wait until Aware’s AI models start flagging your office banter for bullying, harassment, or heaven forbid, a harmless cat meme. But hey, who needs privacy when your employer can see how you really feel about that new company policy or marketing campaign, right?
Some employees are rightly not thrilled about becoming lab rats in this corporate science experiment. One woman sees it as sneaky business, while another calls out the flawed and messed-up nature of AI surveillance. But then there’s always that one guy who nonchalantly brushes off the digital spies, probably because he’s the one sending those “friendly reminders” about the dress code.
Although it’s unsettling to think that your every work message is being analyzed by a soulless machine, there’s a silver lining. At least your boss now knows you think they have fantastic hair, right? So, next time you’re tempted to share a work meme or vent about a long meeting, just remember: Big Tech is watching, and they’re not in the mood for jokes.
