How viable is to have the benefits of smart cities without all the surveillance apparatus that comes with it in the actual state of the technology and politics?

I mean. In a limited scale. The problem with surveillance is other humans and wanting to use the data for personal uses usually personal gain. Some theoretical abstract neutral ai that does not care about sex or propriety or whatnot it would not be so bad. If the laws were also sane that is.
