AI for Humans: The Future of your Digital Self
George Punter, Co-Founder @ Ethi
In this talk, George will demonstrate the extent and power of personal data collected by technology companies. He will explore the potential of personal data to do both good and bad, the dangers of giving up your “digital DNA”, and the value these companies extract from this data. Data rights are finally legally recognised. With the combination of GDPR & rising awareness of personal data abuse, we might eventually be able to control our data, or at least understand as much about our digital footprint as profit-driven companies do. AI is only possible because it has data. Imagine your data being used to benefit you, instead of targeting you with gambling adverts. Imagine the potential for next-generation research to understand our society, which can only happen if we break data out from being locked in corporate databases. Data rights are just the start, now we need to use them.
