Data is all it boils down to. It’s constant data extraction that makes targeted ads so profitable and social media so addicting. You wouldn’t be interested in social media if what you saw wasn’t relevant to you. Using social media builds dopamine pathways in your brain, creating the same feelings you get when you use cocaine. But researchers are looking to change that: with the methods mentioned in their study, data can be a poison. By using tools like ad nauseum to confuse the algorithm or ad-blockers to prevent data collection, we as users can be more responsible and leverage the power we have, through our data: one step at a time.

It’s AI’s independence that makes its use effective and beneficial. However, more independence means less control, and in the case of AI, this could lead to disastrous consequences. AI is a black box; we are aware of the model’s inputs and outputs, but not necessarily its decision making process. And without knowing this, AI is left vulnerable to a host of cybersecurity issues. This video aims to delineate AI’s opacity and the consequences of such.

Our animation takes a holistic approach to some of these problems and some potential solutions, as it relates to brain-computer interfaces or BCIs. The development of BCIs poses questions like will BCI’s change what it means to be human? How do we ensure BCIs will be used for the social good? What do you think?

Creating legislation can be tricky given the complexity of data commodification, but ultimately, it’s up to the consumer to find ways to pressure big tech to change internet norms.

Data can be used to do all sorts of things. From powering AI algorithms and optimizing systems, data is a comparative advantage to any business that utilizes it. But as businesses turn to a data-centralized business model, they also infringe on users’ privacy. Today organizations can survive solely on data, and so the longer they keep users online, the more profitable they become. Privacy and autonomy are in fact rights: it’s time they start being like some.

As innovation drives progress, our lives will continue to change, but some technologies have raised serious ethical concerns. From data privacy to bias in algorithms, the dangers of tech are receiving little attention from policy-makers. Now, the responsibility falls on our shoulders. We founded LucidTech to do our part, to give people something to fight for.
