I suggest that the new amendment make it illegal for devices to track us.

Cameras, microphones, computers, robots, algorithms, etc would not be able track people. Those are in-animate objects, not people, and shouldn't have any rights, especially the right to intrude on people's privacy.

Individuals would not be able to leverage such devices for power, influence or other selfish raesons.

Only another person, a real human, can watch you in public. Even take notes on you. Like a doctor. Or the employees of a grocery store.
