In Sadie's Story, we see Sadie talking to New Mombasa's AI, called "Vergil". Vergil was constructed by her father to oversee the city, but he also built a subroutine into it to keep an eye on Sadie. When Vergil stops the train, she says to him "Vergil, turn this train around now". And a man next to her says, "What are you doin', crazy lady, talking to the train?" It would seem that the average person may not even know that they can communicate with the AI.
But seeing that Vergil was able to monitor all cars in the city, every citizen in the city (The police officer Mike even states "Helped me track down a speeder last month") Vergil also controlled garbage pickup and sanitary work too. Seeing that Vergil monitored sanitation, traffic, trains, harbor traffic and the police, I really don't think it's that farfetched to say that city AI watched over nearly everything in the city, maybe even to the extent of invasion of privacy, with access to everything about a civilian that could be accessed.
