This is an extremely important presentation. Though I do not agree with everything she says or some of her conclusions, still I feel this presentation delivers some very good insights into how data gathering works and to where it is leading.

Please watch and share.
It's IMPORTANT!

This is exactly the misleading propaganda as it is to be expected from TED.
The dangers she brings up are about "voting get's manipulated" or the the terrible support of "J*w-Haters".
The reality this vile piece of garbage is distracting from is the fact that just by a few facebook clicks they can assess your personality to an extend where they can predict whether you are a danger to the government or a "high risk" individual for other purposes, for example higher insurance premiums or if you are less credit worthy based on your PERSONALITY and not your credit history.
It goes way beyond selling you shit you don't want. It is about predicting behavior and absolute, total control.
A website called https://illuminus.io/en/ offers already it's services.I wrote a post about it.

Combined with the Social Credit System this will determine which "privileges" you will get to enjoy and which career path is suitable for you. So, on the good side, if you are a confirmed psychopath you might have a great future ahead as a police officer or politician...

Misleading propaganda? Did you read what I wrote in the post?
Personally I think that irrespective of some of the subtones, it provides a very good insight into how data gathering works and to where it is leading. I think you are being extremely polarized in your thinking and allowing your political views to influence the way you are looking at some very important information regarding algorithms and how the flow of information is being controlled and tailored.

When I wrote "misleading propaganda" I was referring to the TED talk itself. I agree with your opinion, however I see the problem here is what is being said and what is LEFT OUT. In my mind the problems are being minimized and the real dangers are being omitted. Classic disinformation. But hey, maybe I need a bigger tin foil hat.

Great share Max. Definitely a good presentation on a negative direction AI is already progressing. Giant companies have a responsibility when they develop and implement these AI algorithms that they thus far have not lived up to. There's a missing level of AI ethics that appears to have been overlooked; or worse, ignored completely.

Hopefully the recent exposure of the tactics used by facebook result in some positive change, though it's likely without a large enough response from the people that things will go on as usual.

On top of that the CLOUD act makes this data more accessible to the various agencies across the world.

Looks like those of us aware and concerned about this issue have an uphill battle going forward. Par for the course I'd say.

thank you brother

What data is described there?
Thank you my friend

All digital data. Both in it's collection and how it is delivered.

Thanks you for information

nice
