A mystic who says he can see the future has issued a dire warning for the coming year - saying Brits will lose their freedoms to an AI “matrix of modern surveillance” in 2024.
The chilling revelations come from Athos Salomé, who has become known as the 'Living Nostradamus ' for his predictions - many of which he says have come true. From the death of Queen Elizabeth II last year to Elon Musk buying Twitter – or X as he's renamed it – Athos says his paranormal abilities are able to predict many major world events.
Now in a new feat of clairvoyance Athos has warned that in 2024 a new combo of AI and CCTV will strip people of their privacy - ushering in a new age of state control. He specifically said facial recognition technologies being built in China and the United States will mean an end to privacy for many individuals. But for Brits the troubling warnings may be coming true closer to home.
Athos told the Daily Star: "The matrix of modern surveillance symbolises the expanding web of monitoring and control that pervades our world. We are rapidly approaching a reality where privacy becomes a notion granting governments and corporations unparalleled access to individuals personal information.”
Athos made his predictions just days before privacy campaigners in the UK sounded the alarm about a new law that sounds spookily similar to what he warned was coming. On Wednesday it was revealed that the government is trying to quietly change the law to allow cops to run facial recognition searches on everyone with a UK driving licence.

Under the new law, if cops have a picture of a person committing or witnessing a crime, or even just attending a protest, they could use the facial recognition search across all the records to find your identity from your social media picture or CCTV footage.
Prof Peter Fussey, a former independent reviewer of the Met’s use of facial recognition warned there was little government oversight of how cops currently use the tech - which is worryingly prone to mis-identifying black or asian people. “This constitutes another example of how facial recognition surveillance is becoming extended without clear limits or independent oversight of its use,” he told the Guardian.
Athos’ predictions for ‘Big Brother’ surveillance technology to ramp up in 2024 seem to be coming true already - as the psychic warned the world of the perils of the “Matrix”. He warned humanity to be vigilant about how their information is collected and used. "I understand that predictions can sometimes feel like something imagined by a mind that goes through moments of emptiness and fullness,” he said.
“This isn't guesswork. Rather predictions based on the likelihood of certain events happening again. Initially these predictions are for 2024. They may come true in years."
