ABOUT THIS EPISODE
SPEAKERS: Robert Elliott Smith, Julia Powles, and Peter Lewis
HOST: Marc Fennell
Our personal data has become the most valuable commodity the world has ever seen, yet most of us happily give it away for free to the likes of Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon (Big Tech).
These companies have in turn used this data to accumulate extraordinary wealth, power and influence through mostly unseen and largely unaccountable algorithms and AI that interpret, manipulate and control every aspect of our contemporary digital life.
So can we trust Big Tech to always ‘not be evil’?
Join our excellent panel of tech thinkers for a discussion about the future use and misuse of our data.
