Anyone who wants to see this in action, a fair representation is “The Circle” (Forrest Gump and Hermione Gingold). Our robot overlords won’t be robots per se, but AI systems with access to MASSIVE amounts of collected and correlated data.
To get a feel for how cheap data are, price a 1 terabyte hard-drive. Don’t even have to shop, just BB or Tarjee or wallyworld. CHEAP!

To add to your statement I would go even farther and this is in practice now with Google, Amazon and other major data brokers and what I call major data miners. All these outfits are using massive DB’s to fire systems at them to create smart buying systems. These are often called AI systems but they are in fact data crunchers to see how an individual shops. The goal is to see how you shop and make the choice before you do. Every click, purchase or search is put in to these DB’s and used for this purpose.
Its scary tech and worse when you think of it on the human scale and what governments would do with it.
