On the theme of what people can do with today's technology, here's a facial recognition machine. It uses input from publicly accessible web cameras showing people walking on the street, and compared the faces to images of people on nearby corporate websites. The facial recognition software is a service (on theoreti.ca Geoffrey Rockwell suggests it might be Amazon's Rekognition). The Times article has a lot of background about privacy regulation, but I'm more interested in the implications of widely available AI services for the masses.
