I think this is putting the horse before the cart.
There is no doubt that the surveillance business model has captured tech. But "AI" - which to me is just the shortest possible way to say "algorithmic processing of digital information" - is just one more category of tools exploited to buttress and expand the dominance of said business model. It just happens that while other innovations (blockchain, quantum computing etc) are not immediately (or ever) usable, AI tools are practical and deployable here and now.
To better understand my point imagine the polar opposite system: a digital universe that fully respects our various professed humanistic values and uses technology only to empower individuals, bind society together etc. We would still need large scale algorithmic support if we are to manage interfacing our biologically defined brain bandwidth with the vast and growing silicon exo-brain.
In other words, lets us not concede that surveillance capitalism owns every possible future of tech.
