Over the past decade, "authoritarian" has become synonymous with facial recognition and surveillance, robot police, social media giants, and the big business of politics. More recently, it's a booming industry, with fast-growing startups on both sides of the debate. Join the NYU Data Future Lab to find out how to combat
authoritarian tech as a startup, investor, enterprise, and consumer.
Progress in AI and data collection is wide-ranging in scope and impact, with the potential to both further and jeopardize the rights of citizens. Even as concerns are raised about potential and impact, some players in the field are finding ways to remove negative implications from tech remedies while others are tackling problem areas headfirst. The solution lies in the involvement of every stakeholder, from founder and investor to client and policymaker.
Join experts, innovators, investors and founders — including NYU's Clay Shirky, Higher Ground's Betsy Hoover, Electronic Frontier Foundation's Cindy Cohn, Numina's Tara Pham — to explore the industry landscape and impact, solutions emerging, the role of the government as regulator and client, and more.
