I'm trying to think of which robot dystopia/apocalypse this most closely resembles.
1984 meets Skynet
THX 1138
To increase efficiency consumption is being regulated.
Minority Report maybe

No fictional dystopia needed. China already performs mass surveillance and has systems in place to enforce desirable behaviours in citizens. This is just another evolutionary phase.
