The latest Boundless Podcast Episode is out! It features myself in a deep conversation with Richard Foster-Fletcher about Big Data and Speech Analytics for Voice First & Voice Assistants (but not only), BigTech, AI Ethics and the need for a new legal framework for Responsible AI and Explainable Machine Learning.
I wouldn't call myself a technophobe. Quite the opposite. I was learning how to program (BASIC!) back in 1986 in the Summer after getting my degree in English Language & Literature; I was teaching computers how to translate between human languages and chatting online with mainframes in University buildings 2 kms away back in 1991; I was programming Artificial Neural Networks and using Parallel computers back in 1993; I was reading internet newsgroups and downloading music - very much legally! - on a web browser (Netscape!) in 1994; I was designing Voice interfaces already in 1996 and voice-controlled home assistants back in 1998. I have even been using LinkedIn since 2005.
Yet, I am very sceptical and pessimistic about our uninhibited sharing of personal data and sensitive information all day every day on multiple channels, to multiple audiences, much of it willingly, much more unwillingly, in the name of sharing and human connection, service and product personalisation and ultimately, far too often, monetisation.
What will that mean for our legacy as individuals? Who will own, control and curate all the generated data after our death? Who can clone us and why? Will there be a second life after death? Will there ever be freedom from a dictator or will there ever be any point in bequeathing anything in a will? These and many more questions are discussed in this episode. I had lots of fun recording this! Thank you so much to Richard for creating this??
