Session Description
We're ushering in a tech-driven world that raises some uncomfortable questions. As we voluntarily invite more digital surveillance into our lives, are we sleepwalking toward a "digital panopticon," where privacy is a relic of the past?
In a world where convenience reigns and privacy erodes, we’re trading our social contracts for a digital surveillance state—and big tech is the only winner. 5G, smartphones, smart TVs, and AI-powered homes are no longer futuristic luxuries but everyday essentials.
The stakes are high—and maybe we're the last to realize it. As an anthro-technologist, I'll explore why the so-called "smart revolution" may not be so brilliant after all, and how we've unwittingly traded our social contracts for the convenience of big tech. Should we be preparing for a digital apocalypse—or is it already here?
The Artificial (Un)Intelligence Conference is a global, 24 hour live online conference. Registration is free, and includes access to all sessions, including on-demand, at the conclusion of the event. No sales pitches, no marketing. Just the good stuff.
We're trying to find the unheralded people around the world who are doing cool things with AI. Is that you?
