Tech CEOs Testify on AI Surveillance Network Expansion in Georgia

Chief executives from four major surveillance and law enforcement technology companies, including Flock Safety, were invited to testify before a congressional panel on the expansion of artificial intelligence-powered monitoring networks across the United States. The hearing, titled “Always Watching: Flock’s Nationwide AI Surveillance Network,” was scheduled for September 23, 2026. The federal scrutiny follows reports detailing widespread vulnerabilities and officer misconduct regarding Flock Safety’s automated license plate reader system in Georgia.

The companies are facing questioning regarding the operational integrity and product misuse of their AI surveillance technology in a key state market. The testimony focuses on the expansion of these networks, which are integrated into law enforcement operations in Georgia. This places the companies under intense legislative review regarding their technology deployment.

Flock Safety is a Georgia-based company whose surveillance technology is integrated into the state's law enforcement operations and is subject to regulatory scrutiny.
