- Have you ever wondered about the future of your privacy?
A growing proportion of human activities, from social interactions to entertainment to shopping, are now mediated by digital devices and services, creating an unprecedented number of digital footprints that can be used to reveal our intimate traits, emotions, and predict future behavior. Given the progress in Artificial Intelligence and computing, how can we prepare users, the public, and ourselves for this coming reality, and ensure that privacy will not only be reserved for the privileged few?
About Dr. Kosinski:
Dr. Kosinski is an Assistant Professor of Organizational Behavior at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, and is a leading authority on privacy risks, psychometrics, and psychological profiling. His research, which has spanned his tenure at Stanford, his previous work as the Deputy Director of the University of Cambridge Psychometrics Centre, and a researcher at Microsoft Research has been covered in Bloomberg, CBS and the Economist, among other publications.
Democracy existed only in ancient Greek. We live in a republic. It means that "we" choose representatives which act according to their personal interests. Sometimes, their interests align with those of their voters, sometimes(most of the time) not. Most of the time voters don't even know what their representative is working on neither how it will affect their life.
The title isn't the best for the content but I actually loved the content far more than I thought I would.
*He had me until the end, where he basically says, 'Privacy is dead, but just be ok with it. Keep liking things on Facebook. Hate bigotry instead.' I'm not sure that's the answer to what was otherwise a very good talk.*
Nice *asterisking* , brah B-)
@@movement2contact You read my comment, so I guess they worked. ;)
@@siegfried19888 What does that have to do with privacy?
I agree but, Prince said it best "Use the Matrix, don't let it use you".
Once we plug into the matrix, namely Facebook, we're feeding the"machine" with what it needs to survive. Easiest thing to do is delete your Facebook profile.
@@siegfried19888 The problem with that is replacing the CEO's and politicians. You see, they have this pesky characteristic of seeking power, and wanting to stay in it once they get there. It isn't about being open. It's about the people with the more powerful computers using the power of information in ways that are not ultimately in the best interests of the people. And privacy is the way to counter that. Create as little information as possible, and obfuscate what you do create.
P.S. about credit scores, they are targeted at the most profitable - i.e. most economically incompetent, and not the most likely to pay the loan back.
*The comment at **26:00** about pretty people having their psychological traits affected over time as a result of being attractive is something I've come to believe just from life experience. Glad to see someone else mentioning it here, with some data to back it up.*
Saying Goodbye to privacy is simplistic and convenient until the though police come for you. Or until you are blackballed for posting politically incorrect content online. How does your No-Privacy theory address this threat of the thought police?
Very interesting informative and thought provoking talk. However do not agree with all the views expressed. We should not accept defeat on privacy so easily. There are many more aspects and consequences that were not addressed in the talk. Are you still you, if you know that everyone is watching you all the time? Would you say the same things in front of the mirror, would you sing the same songs in the shower if you knew that everyone is listening ? even your identity itself is affected/altered in a world without privacy, the simulation becomes the reality and what is left is the "desert of the Real" (Baudrillard etc)
Wow, excellent talk thanks!
Did he say " what you are saying when you are at home or around your phone ?" Really?
Democracy is not primarily a way of life, but a
set of procedures for organising and operating government.
There are no inherent substantive ends or core beliefs that are
essential to democratic rule. The majority
of a community may embrace any set of core beliefs that it
chooses.
Why wouldn't Google would host a talk about end of privacy!
it is a distraction, look at geoengineering.org, we will not be here to see the next 3 years,
@@theeagle3349 Look at David Icke, we will be here in 50 years, this global warming is a swindle. Google are EVIL, they even said it when they started up "do no evil" LOL, they got rid of that real fast. Don't use or update face book, get rid of Alexia and such devices, use alternative search engines like DuckDuckGo, use Brave browser, use encrypted email, turn location services off on devices, use Linux (elementary, pop, mint etc...) as a desktop, tape up over cameras and microphones. Basically take control of what YOU can do and tell others and help others do the same.
@@phillipbridge5009 its Geoengineering that will see us off, not global warming, we are being poisoned, from the air.
A stack of papers with 500 megabytes represented as bits (one's and zero's) is roughly 70 meters tall, *not* 4 roundtrips to the sun. Here's some back of the envelope math:
Assumptions:
- 500 megabytes = 4194304000 bits.
- We can fit 3043 bits (one's and zero's) per piece of A4 paper with Times New Roman 12px.
- A piece of paper (A4 format) is 0.05 millimetres thick.
- Distance from the Earth to the Sun: 149 600 000 kilometres = 149 600 000 000 meters
- "From here to the Sun 4 times over": 149 600 000 000 * 4 = 598 400 000 000 meters
4194304000 / 3043 = 1378345.05 = Amount of A4 paper we will need to fit all the bits.
1378345.05 * 0.05 = 68917.2525 mm = 68.917 meters high stack of A4 paper.
Conclusion:
69 meters != 598 400 000 000 meters
This guy is off with 10 orders of magnitude. Makes you wonder what else he's wrong about.
Michael, what you computed is the correct answer for one single person. He asked how tall would it be for the entire humanity.
Multiply your answer for the world's population and you will find he was not that wrong.
Pure Enlightement. Let's end bigotry and start fighting for what truely matters.
In just two days after being fiered youtube ads presented me anxiolitic medication... i just smiled. What else could i do... click skip.
Yes, I agree totally, that we should fight bigotry. That is what's essential!
A lot of what people think they "know" about other people actually consists of learned stereotypes that they have internalized over a lifetime and then apply instantly to people they see on the street. I can tell you with absolute certainty that most of the assumptions people make most frequently about me, based upon nothing more than my appearance, are quite wrong. There are also many stereotypes we all learn about behaviors, preferences, etc. and these can be inferred from these. Thus, most people think they can, for example, "tell" who is "gay" based upon what clothing they are wearing, what car they drive, what movies they like, etc. One of the most ridiculous examples of this that I have ever encountered is the idea that there are "gay cars," i.e., cars that are somehow preferred by women and, thus, "must" be indicative of homosexuality if a man is driving one. Volkswagen was influenced by this to such an extent that they redesigned their New Beetle to flatten out the curves and make the car more "masculine." But, here's another thing: the assumption that homosexuality has anything to do with being effeminate (if you're male) or masculine (if you're female). Neither has anything at all to do with whether one is a homosexual or not and, in fact, there are as many hyper-masculine looking men who are homosexuals as there are effeminate women who are lesbians. There are really only two factors that decide, ultimately, who is and who is not a homosexual: (1) an attraction to members of one's own sex and (2) either acting upon that attraction or considering acting upon it. Nothing else has anything to do with it and most of the rationale people use to decide who is "gay" are nothing more than stereotypes. The supposed accuracy of tests to determine who is "gay" are based upon stereotypes, not upon actual factual data about people.
My wife was joogled from her job due to a social media faux pas.
Apple: we're making privacy the core of our products and services
Google: we're ending privacy so we don't have to do that
Also Apple: tracks all your stuff and doesn't let you opt-out of core analytics and telemetry.
So much of what is being heralded here as brilliant is really just common sense.
Hey it's Michal Kosinski who wrote a study on gay-looking faces with Yilun Wang! How did your homosexual phrenology study turn out for you guys? I'm sure stereotyping the appearance of gays and effectively seeking a means of outing and identifying them wasn't at all prejudiced but an earnest search for scientific knowledge.
Well, this guys thinks that Google only collects data to improve the experience.. Please do more research. Read Shoshana Zuboff's book: Surveillance Capitalism.
k. g I assumed he’d argue nonsense conspiracies, but no, finally somebody truthful- it’s all about money- advertisers pay more for “conversions” now (products actually being sold due to more successful targeting) rather than paying a flat rate for view/clicks. Money drives everything.
@@Sebadiah23 only an ignorant even uses the term "conspiracy", do your homework
It is sad that this gets 20k views, but the presentation of the new IPhone goes viral...
I recently went into my phone settings and under MY ACTIVITIES, i changed all the data collection settings and this program controls all media platforms. Piont being, before i reset things to my favor, my searchs and especialy my youtube experience were crapy. Like while watching a video on conscious or spirituality, it wouldnt recommend anything but trump news and politics. Im 38 so thats what i get. No videos relating to anything i like or relating to the video i was watching.
Now that i switched things my recommended videos are things i like and things that are very simular. So nice! I forgot how good youtube was 2 years ago. They been slowly creeping on us for a while.
Feeling FeNi I had a similar experience when I began using the Issuu app. When I selected art as one of my interests, it immediately began showing me things aimed at women, as if only women like art or are artists. This is pure stereotyping, made by homophobic men who are afraid that if their friends think they like art, that they will be assumed to be "gay." The fact is that art was invented in the stone age by men and its long history has been dominated by men (one of the chief complaints of feminist artists).
Google Maps _is_ great at saving fuel by optimising routes. But they don't provide the best possible routes. Because they work at scale, they only provide good enough routes. Just a little nitpick. :)
Shut up and take my privacy!
6:48 predicting personality from FB likes
10:54 GPS
13:15 Hello Kitty
14:58 Forrest Gump
16:29 wording -> openness
20:17 face -> extroverted vs introverted
31:11 face -> liberal vs conservative
45:46 face -> gay vs straight
transcomputational singularities arent even alowed to be on facebook. we have a long way to go... :)
The point of this story is to stop commenting and liking things. Privacy restored woot woop
I believe the piont was, you cant hide your data. It knows what you like already. Its too late for privacy. Privacy lets the elite manipulate pilage and plunder.
Thats what i heard anyways.
@@feelingfeni4798 there are plenty of ways friend. One way is to not have a cell phone. Done!
Why are you people blocking Android users apps from loading just because we don't want your play store running on our systems?
Joogle is the information gathering network.
ay google chill, message received
The Universe is a Math Equation, me thinks it's a fractal.
yes
Right on dude
but i have nothing to hide.
That's like saying 'please take away my freedom of speech because I have nothing to say'.
Sure, you may not be doing anything wrong, but that doesn't mean you have nothing to hide. Would you want someone watching you every time you took a shower, had sex, tried on clothes, etc.? How is someone constantly knowing your location, the conversations you're having, the pages you visit, and so on any different, aside from the fact that on top of knowing it, these corporations also sell your data to malicious advertising companies and governments for profit?
Can u use camera on phone to tell if someone is a cop? Or a crook? Or new BFF? Someone should make app.. That is all.
Don’t you just love the modern world?
Sorry Michal, I think you have some logical problems, which I think is more a deliberate attempt to persuade the audience rather than a ignorance of them. First of all, blaming Mark Zuckberg and Facebook on parenting Facebook likes does not acquit you or Facebook of using likes to profile people, especially when those who are profiled don’t have any knowledge of you doing so. You should at least ask for consent from users. Also, you create a false opposition that it is easy for you to defend. Of course you can talk about the benefits of Google maps. But profiling people also cause detriments to the most vulnerable people, such as credit fraud. Why don’t argue against these situations?
Overall, it is sad and disappointing that Google endorses such a stance.
OMG he even invented the term ‘post privacy’ world.
You missed a joke opportunity: you must be nuts if you go to the nuthouse and not like nuts
Still, I get BS ads for gun supporters and Trump just because of my age and living location even though I am very progressive and have oodles of progressive channels.
I'm very progressive and I'm both a gun owner and a potential Trump voter.
This video made me want to take a s**t
Has he EVER shaved that yucky crap off his face?
the algos ain't all that , unless you're hypnotized enough to be predictable utube is REALLY confused , their recommends are so wrong , so often , and it's a hobby to analyze their analysis
but i don't tweet , my phone is dumb , never use Facebook , don't need their ,maps , etc.,etc........................if you're "normal" , maybe what he says is relevant , but you get what you deserve if you ain't got nothin' , you got nothin' to lose
You obviously didn't listen or didn't watch the talk to the end.
@@lawlessheromonkeys maybe i'm just stoopid....what's your point?
@@gaylandbarney2231 that you don't need to use the stuff you mentioned because even things "normal" people do and use are sufficient enough to analyze the shit out of you. Like he said you do have a bank account, there's CCTV in public, etc. etc.
it is going to be the end of humanity, Geoengineering.org
this guy is phony science
Bummer. Now you all know I'm voting green...
Endless fear mongering- no, sorry- they just want to target people better for advertisers, it pays more- not complicated.....
