K. And the e. U. Plus the year of the dog in china counting the cost at this time on a. Digital technology is the promise of intimacy and hes meant and even longer not. In the ability to billions of calculations now. It seems he discovered and he didnt mention. In which everything in our lives can be increased and tracked and intend to use money. That is convenience profit and they only use these towns. Now the new generation of bookie easiness skills to challenge the tech giants. And enable a different technological future. One that people are not the product. My name is getting at is it and ive been there either in the research or the code as i could tell you two or seven or eight years ago. We were fearful as we walked down in this business the income to share all of their devices we have consul this area of the screens that all goes hunting for more and more information in the process all that along more and more of those the rises also but i mean it isnt that a lot on the providers the manufacturers of those devices platforms and apps. Its important for us to understand all of this on but hes. Providing the services because theyre not interested in only providing the services theyre also interested in making money. Through beta being the new marble weapon it plays an Important Role in dating rather for those companies and we have to understand with them for the come from os the users. Its a tracker it tracks your movement to tracks your calories or tracks your heart rate. You can sync it up with your phone via a bluetooth connection. It works in its a tool that didnt used to exist you know i just basically tracked every step i made my heart rate and i did and i did it here so this is the number of steps that have taken six minutes and. I have three thousand and three steps toward my ten thousand dollars you know its a poll full one two punch. If you think about data that is generated by selfacting devices or apps the things on our phones many paths that data can take in favor of the manufacture of the device it can be used to share of where your the First Company was your house and tell you which my band means to the studies. And how they design better the routes that is on. And on the parts but equally for people like you with your particular lifestyle options so this data has a life of its own. The tracker will track your output how many steps shes taken how many calories youve burned but this is the other side of it of how many calories so you consume me what we use for that is an application called my fitness pal. So this is a separate application it sinks with the tracker what im going to do is im going to add breakfast this is what i had for breakfast well i know that the calories on it on the back says one hundred and forty calories i could either search for that food by clicking on the Search Button or i could click the scan code the barcode reader and its going to give me a barcode and then going to just using my camera. Im going to record that and its populated. Exactly whats in it and the counter in that information obviously is being tracked in the cloud when i scan a barcode im interested in the calories but a marketing person would want to know that im consuming their product i dont know that people really understand that myself included i never really gave it a whole lot of thought. One of the most profound consequences of the shift towards Health Care Act has been the growing eagerness off many citizens to encourage the lies the larger the Silicon Valley and the logic of Silicon Valley and the college accompanists when it comes to the sisters is that you know how else is it on the sponsibility but health is also what happens as you are exposed to quantum advertising for john clune health as also what happens to us as a child you have to face a certain number of choices in your High School Cafeteria this is also helms and this is also something that has to be a fact that by all this. Hi im joe computer Vice President for connected health welcome. Our goal is about extending here beyond our four walls creating technologies that enable you as a patient to feel cared for throughout your life and not just when youre visiting the doctor. And thats pumping up now and its going to stop when it senses that the blood flow is impeded and then it will deflate and as it be flakes that captures the pressure and heart rate the pressure is a little high but thats probably a reflection of the circumstance theyre going to. Tell you that its transmitting and it will be able to be seen in the electronic record shortly someone in the office is tracking this market. Mostly usually a nurse can call me up and say this morning your pressure was one fifty five whats going on. In the same way we can track activity we can track your glucose if youre a diabetes patient we can track your weight if youre Heart Failure patient were starting to track emotion were starting to track each gene and there we have it today two high readings there is a revolution of new sensors coming out. That data becomes a way of really personalizing you if i know your activity level and from your phone i can grab your location im aware of when you were most active with what you were listening to on your spotify i can mash all those things up and create a very unique profile that enables me through software not a person but through software to message you in a very compelling way about ways to improve your health when you head for the refrigerator a smart refrigerator can give you some guidance as to what might be the next best healthy meal when you head for make dolls your mobile phone might give you some guidance as to what might be a healthy choice for you there when will we see the connectivity between the refrigerator and the Blood Pressure cuff and the tree and the. Coach thats going to be able to come in your life and help you with all that thats a five to seven year time frame its not far its happening. Hard to imagine that people could use to sell stuff to people to try to censor users hard to tell us how safe you are but i do think you will get out the differential to them from Insurance Companies once more than half of the population the touch limbs gauges itself. Because the default assumption that will be made by Insurance Companies when it comes to self it will be that if you if you do you such a gadget you have something to hide which would also mean that your haps you have to be watched more carefully house you have to pay more because you think that you presented to me to just go society and this in this sense that Silicon Valley coming so there are quite a lot of control without physically forcing us to do anything. Its compatible is much more subtle than that happens that means of the market but that happens on the last. Weary multimodal biometrics the dedication company weve got the worlds only patent on a handheld multipole which means fingerprint iris and facial device on smartphones around town its. Installed in state department of corrections sheriffs offices and local police in forty seven states its big if you want to search someone by iris and this is how easy it is to do you simply click on search by iris yes the person to take a look at. In about ten seconds its going to bring back who that individual is from anywhere on the planet its one of the factors that has allowed to the immense gross in this sector of biometric technologists over the last ten to fifteen years have been the wars in afghanistan than that rock where the u. S. Government mostly in the u. S. The fans the parchman the how to past all of this technology is for identifying the local populations. It really accomplishes several things all at the same time first is it causes data to be shared across multiple disparate databases where organizations will have separate data sets in the nothing that ties them together better than a biometric to say if we can agree on one thing its what those fingerprints of those eyes say about that individual and this automatically through the cloud using secure devices ties that the on occasion tokens credentials will be fraudulent because the document can be forged but at the backend on the server in the cloud in the network its impossible to create the fraud. In think about this just in the financial industry to be able to take credit and very quickly in swipe and have the transaction come back with the individuals photo right in front of you to eliminate fraud to protect the identity of the individual and they didnt have to do anything. In its emerging across all markets health slumps people who jumps. High and resumes where the person just wants to walk in and look at something and have access that v. I. P. Kind of treat. We often see the future is around its already here today. Not in the nature of sayst acknowledges to suggest that some people all last dangers are less suspicious than they see what happens usually over the screaming nation so what will happen is that a lot of people will just get excluded from the circles where they normally belong the institutions the normal effect and that and this is i think one of the main reasons why ordinary people should be concerned about it. For me this is a form of governance by data from my bed perfectly normal individual whose facial expression for example might indicate that you have some dangerous was a specious plots within five years or so well looking at a future where Police Forces will be able to identify we who you are in the way you are in the city and look into the social african cage and all of your friends which i think has profound implications for how we think about protest on the cost of a poll of crowd. City by City Technology and innovation is changing the transportation status quo our driver partners are the heart and soul of this Company People tell us that being a driver on hoover is liberating theres no schedule no boss and better income through better technology. Seventy four thousand dollars is the sticker of this truck plus the insurance the licensing and gets all that is again drivers. For. The cost of that. After each trip the driver rates the passenger the passenger rates the driver. These are these commercials of the run guarantee thirty five thousand dollars well youve got to accept every single fare and that means its like three oclock in the morning with a youve got to like a crowd of drunks you know that you know you have to be afraid that theyre going to rate you bad and theyre going to you know act the use of in your car and im a guy and they act like this and encouraging women. In their my. They think that theyre growing to the point where they could have fifty thousand cars on the road sixty thousand and you know everyones going to have enough work but if its not the case and guys have to work sixteen eighteen hours a day seven days a week you know youre going to have some dangerous you know road very tired guys. Really nice like you know the like all about like they dont care what you go through they just want to stop money you know the idea is great. The business you know its the service it provides is magnificent. The greed. Is a is gross you know its like you know its just being happy with the fifty billion dollars. Doesnt have to be a trillion. Highway here you say shannon was very. Right. Yeah right hi. So i know that youre leading a lawsuit against over which concerns drivers nice to know a little bit more what they subject matter the laws of this so we are a challenging the first prosecution of drivers as independent contractors rather than employees by ossified the drivers as independent contractors that the company is able to save massively on its labor costs and the drivers dont have any of the protections of the wage was or im claiming when they lose their jobs or workers comp if they get injured on the job or the ability to join together and form a union if they want to burden collectively whats the rationale that to bring gifts for the whole class of. Well the ones for is not times its not actually a car service that its. Its a Technology Company just providing a means for people who are nearby to be actually this independence as you want provide or i have the federal judge overseeing our case already rejected that argument the public today is just so excited about the technology that actually eager to. This is regarding some of the logical arguments that are being made that all this is transportation this is not acknowledge and theyre just so much more excited. Accepting in there its about technology being the ultimate the set up to force it will usher in progress abundance and luxury for all i think youre right i think that aber is using these advances in technology in order to try to sway Public Opinion and i understand why the public is so excited about these services but what does it mean for those Labor Protections that have been put into place over many decades and fought for im sure we dont think those just be thrown out the window because a company has come up with a way of providing services through a smartphone. Also mostly what were seeing is Companies Like isp the move away from the security and safety that where provided by the alpha state you can no longer count on having a job tomorrow it can no longer count on working a fixed hours to come along and tell them anything you have similar pick areas. This is not the last capitalism this is actually pretty well fixed this is the soulbound to do all before to delay should then be for security and before any sort of provisions were put in place to put that the workers. Beneath the success are off kompany is like google is there par for lager they basically just the odd their own nearly all police thought it was by arguing about anybody can do that because its the algorithm that has all the power. And the al is eventually going to analyze their Business Model and the way in which she genuinely has very little to do was the algorithm and everything to do is the data that we as users of those services have contributed to what will be in the posters of using the service so virtually every single facet from. Come on the bottles of social life can now be turned into a mouse into commodities to be treated in the market. Where new york and were about to visit the startup. And they want to be maybe start up right now that hard trying to hold her ownership of beta. Users away for all because of facebook and theyre going to see how one of them will. So why did you tell us a bit more about a cool water this. So david is a personal data marketplace its a platform for individuals to aggregate scene sell their own data the basic premise being united individuals create mountains of increasingly valuable digital data i did it basis and for the most part we dont really partake in the economic value chain of the data in any meaningful sense of the word partake and thats kind of crazy so we sit on top of bunch of different social platforms like Facebook Twitter linked in instagram tumbler meet up and so forth we sit on top of Bank Account Information so transactional spend on debit credit card and so forth and then people are connecting these different data sources to compiling that data in one place you are in cartagena me to take ownership of my beta which. As there are more the more ways to govern. Im also being in the car its more the indicators of my life so now due to my graphics and my age but who knows perhaps a manufacturer would like to know what i was the power well as the longest lived so i guess what youre getting at is. I mean there is no limit to how much data is collected off myself sure so im ok thinking about things as far as asset and leverage value and what kind of utility can i get in a marketplace that for me is a normal thought process in a normal setting that im comfortable with and i know it has obvious ramifications i mean it is im sure youre probably going to you know places we can all address it before you can get there but like if youre tracking all these Different Things about your life what does that mean for insurance implications right if you have a linked in account plus a credit card. Plus that. You can now discern whether own like cecily with monckton title or operations you can discern whether im buying a lot of mcdonalds. Or at whole foods. You can also serve already zero miles of me or forty miles a week and clearly the people who are operations mcdonalds in zero miles a week are going to suffer in that case these people may end up having to pay a higher price be if you have the mindset of you know individual responsibility or self accountability youre probably more apt for this kind of a world where youre kind of tracking everything and utilize it exacerbates but the people who want that additional well off and who else and their families and having a somewhat healthier lifestyle various people who come from poor backgrounds dont have that they dont have many choices other than me to get mad on. All of that and to have as if i am somebody who might have a Health Condition who might have them the chance of being discriminated against is that the my advantage to. Them for this long maybe not in that particular case right but the you are comfortable with this trend so thats far as youll start up to something yes. Thats typical of a lot of libertarian discourse and ited states there is very little sympathy for the poor and the disadvantage poor might nor gain as much from a world where they just feel a bit minister sure sure in another situation and where the Insurance Company of all of the charging them more are going to hear from start ups on this matter is that. As a political decision its not up to our way here just the empower people. What has happened i think is that Silicon Valley house preserved our imaginations and house needed them possible for us to be on our own turf we have to data the war last year we could eat a lot of michelin resources we have to treat them as something that cannot be sold because a
