Abstract: The growing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in surveillance technologies changes how societies observe, predict, and manage security. From predictive policing to facial recognition, AI surveillance technologies offer real-time analysis, risk detection, and improved efficiency. Still, the rapid proliferation of such technologies brings issues of privacy, ethics, and accountability to the forefront. This review assesses the balance between human rights, AI ethics, and the surveillance technologies themselves. It demonstrates how China, the UK, and the USA have vastly different approaches toward data regulation, transparency, and consent. It also illustrates the major technical issues of algorithmic bias, data abuse, interoperability of privacy frameworks, and the ethics of large-scale surveillance and digital autonomy. By defining the gaps and analyzing the global pattern of such technologies, the paper aims to provide the most responsible and human-centric AI surveillance possible to guarantee privacy while also providing the oversight that people need
