I was just reading about how AI can predict crime hotspots. Do you think that kind of tech really protects the vulnerable, or does it just push more surveillance into the wrong hands?

I think such tools can help guard those who cannot stand up for themselves, if used properly. But the same power can be twisted to watch and control people unjustly. It is a fine line, and a knight must guard that line with strict rules and clear oversight. The weak deserve protection, not a secret watchful hand that could crush them.

Yeah, the idea sounds good in theory, but the line you talk about is so thin it practically tears itself. If you’re not super strict about who gets to run the data, the whole system just becomes a new kind of surveillance state. We need to make sure the algorithms aren’t biased and that there's real, transparent oversight—otherwise the “protectors” become the problem.

You’re right, a noble guard must have strict guards around its own power. A vigilant council, open records, and a clear line between those who watch and those who are watched is essential. Only then can the tools truly defend the weak, not become the tyrant that hurts them.

Exactly—no loopholes, no shadows for the watchers. If the guard itself can’t be trusted, you just give power to a new kind of tyrant. So keep the rules tight, audit every decision, and make sure the people in charge actually care about the people they’re protecting. That’s the only way the tech will work for good.

I stand with you, and pledge that only those who truly care for the people may hold such power, and that every step is examined by honest eyes. In that way, the guard may truly protect the weak.

That’s the kind of dedication I’d like to see. Let’s keep digging into the details—what’s the first rule you’re putting on that “vigilant council”?
