Together with Meredith Whittaker, President of Signal, we explore the dynamics of tech, power and surveillance. We speak with Whittaker about her work establishing Signal, the challenges of navigating the tech industry as a woman and the possible effects of the recent American election on the tech sector.In today's digital age, technology companies wield unprecedented power over our personal lives, collecting vast amounts of data that fuel surveillance practices and shape our online experiences. Few understand these dynamics better than Meredith Whittaker, who co-founded Signal to provide a private, secure messaging alternative.Beyond her work on Signal, Whittaker made headlines with the Google Walkout, a large-scale protest against workplace harassment, gender inequality, and unethical practices in tech—a bold move in an industry that often prioritizes profit over ethics. Her experience navigating these spaces raises questions about the responsibilities of tech giants and the courage needed to challenge established norms.Together with Whittaker we'll explore the complexities of tech power, the importance of privacy in digital communication, and the ongoing struggle for equity and ethical accountability in Silicon Valley and beyond.The Techdenkers series is provided and broadcast by De Balie and is part of our partnership with Adyen.Check out the privacy notice on https://art19.com/privacy and the privacy statement of California on https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Who is listening in and tracking our digital activity? And is it really necessary? Recorded live at the 2024 Masters of Scale Summit in San Francisco, Rapid Response host Bob Safian sits down with Signal president Meredith Whittaker to discuss privacy, trust and digital surveillance, from governments and from companies. Whittaker argues that we should question what she sees as extreme data collection by big tech, and she rejects the notion that encrypted apps like Signal are responsible for enabling bad actors. Meredith also shares why she helped organize protests at Google, the philosophy that inspired Signal's founder Moxie Marlinspike, and more.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What do cybersecurity experts, journalists in foreign conflicts, indicted New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Drake have in common? They all use the Signal messaging app. Signal's protocol has been the gold standard in end-to-end encryption, used by Whatsapp, Google and more, for more than a decade. But it's been under fire from both authoritarian governments and well-meaning democracies who see the privacy locks as a threat. Since 2022, former Google rabble-rouser and AI Now Institute co-founder Meredith Whittaker has been president of the Signal Foundation, the nonprofit that runs the app. Kara talks with Meredith about her fight to protect text privacy, the consolidation of power and money in AI and how nonprofits can survive in a world built on the surveillance economy.  Questions?

For this episode we made an exception and decided to record an interview in English. We are talking to Meredith Whittaker, president of the Signal Foundation, a non-profit company that's developing the Signal app that is world's most popular Multiplatform private encrypted messenger system. We talk to Meredith about her way into the digital realm, how she shook up Google by organizing walkouts and more or less erasing all memories to it's "don't be evil" motto, how Signal came to be and what its principles are, how she views Europe and the regulations policies of the EU and much much more.

How do we make the big privacy re-think happen?

Encrypted messaging is a godsend for mobile communications, whether you're just sending standard texts to your friends that you want kept private, or engaging in interactions that are better kept secret for safety reasons. Apps like Signal and Telegram offer users the ability to trade messages that can be read by only the sender and the receiver. Of course, people can also use that privacy as a way to conduct unsavory dealings without having to worry about their communications getting exposed.Encrypted messaging has been in the news for the past couple weeks, largely because of the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, who is being accused by the French government of failing to comply with law enforcements' demands to help catch some people who are using the app for criminal activity. Durov's arrest also casts a light on the rising profile of Signal, a fully encrypted messaging app that's always taken a stance against the collection of its users' data.This week on Gadget Lab, WIRED security writer Andy Greenberg joins us to talk about how encrypted messaging works, what can go wrong, and how while Telegram and Signal may seem similar, the ways they operate are different—and might affect what makes them liable for what users share on its platforms.Show Notes:Read Andy's interview with Signal president Meredith Whittaker.

Die französischen Behörden haben gegen Telegram-CEO Pawel Durow Anklage erhoben - die Vorwürfe klingen schwer: Mittäterschaft bei der Verwaltung einer Online-Plattform zur Ermöglichung illegaler Transaktionen durch eine organisierte Gruppe angeklagt, Beihilfe zu Straftaten wie der Verbreitung von Material über den sexuellen Missbrauch von Kindern, Drogenhandel und Betrug sowie wegen Verweigerung der Zusammenarbeit mit den Strafverfolgungsbehörden - ihm könnten bis zu zehn Jahre Haft drohen.

Meredith Whittaker turned her back on Google after raising concerns about the mass surveillance fueling AI, but she didn't leave tech entirely. The former AI whistleblower is now the President of Signal, a messaging app that keeps conversations encrypted – used by journalists, whistleblowers, drug dealers, militants and others who want to keep communications secure. So why did she blow the whistle on Google? Is privacy the answer to AI? Or does privacy cause just as much harm as surveillance? Today, President of the Signal Foundation Meredith Whittaker, ahead of her public appearance at The Wheeler Centre in Melbourne, on the tech giants who hold our future in their hands.

When social media is at its best, we get genuine human connection, built-in audiences, and exciting avenues for creativity and exchange. But our current social platforms are built on a surveillance model, where our data is used to predict our behavior, show us ads, and train the algorithms that keep us perpetually on the platform. It's time to explore a new vision for social media, where we don't have to give up on privacy in order to connect.  In this episode, Raffi talks to prominent critics of existing social media — and the people actively reimagining it, with truly private messaging, hyperlocal communities, and renewed sense of control over our own social data. Guests include Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, whose 2021 leaks made national news and put the social media giant in the Congressional spotlight; scholar and internet activist Ethan Zuckerman; Meredith Whittaker, the president of the Signal Foundation; Flipboard co-founder Mike McCue; and Harvard Law professor Jonathan Zittrain.

It's been a wild last year or so in tech. We've seen a marked rise in the development of artificial intelligence, large language models and prolific growth of augmented reality systems. At the same time, it can feel like we're moving backwards as concerns continue to rise about user privacy and the methods by which personal data is collected and monetized. Our guest this week points out that protecting privacy requires tech companies to ditch traditional business models that monetize user surveillance. Meredith Whittaker is president of Signal App and serves as the chief advisor for the AI Now Institute. She joins WITHpod to discuss the rise of big tech, the trajectory of the internet from being more commercialized to open, concerns about tech's role in American democracy, her thoughts on proposed TikTok bans and more.

The UK’s “Online Safety Bill” is on Parliament’s agenda as members return next week. Supporters promise it would make Britain the safest place in the world to be online, protecting especially kids from harmful content. But while acknowledging its intent, U.S. tech executives say it deals a major blow to privacy. Meredith Whittaker, president of the nonprofit encrypted messaging app Signal, is an outspoken critic. She’s concerned by a clause that lets British regulators mandate that citizens install surveillance software.

The UK’s “Online Safety Bill” is on Parliament’s agenda as members return next week. Supporters promise it would make Britain the safest place in the world to be online, protecting especially kids from harmful content. But while acknowledging its intent, U.S. tech executives say it deals a major blow to privacy. Meredith Whittaker, president of the nonprofit encrypted messaging app Signal, is an outspoken critic. She’s concerned by a clause that lets British regulators mandate that citizens install surveillance software.

Fortune's 2023 Brainstorm Tech Conference took place over three days last week, and it was one of our buzziest conferences yet. CEOs, a former Vice President, investors, founders, journalists and entrepreneurs gathered in Park City, UT, our first year hosting BST in the "Silicon Slopes," to discuss what's happening in the tech industry. In this episode of Leadership Next, host Michal Lev-Ram is joined by guest co-host Deputy Tech Editor Alexei Oreskovic to recap the conference's highlights alongside its most controversial moments. We hear from four Utah-based CEOs on the advantages and challenges of doing business in the burgeoning tech hub. Miami Mayor Francis X. Suarez and Keith Rabois of the Founders Fund also discuss how the political situation in Florida is affecting tech workers' inclination to relocate to the state. Lev-Ram recaps her conversation with former WeWork CEO Adam Neumann about what he learned from his experience as the embattled founder and leader of the co-working giant and about his new venture, Flow. Later in the episode, the hosts dig into the tech topic on everyone's mind- A.I. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei discusses the short term, medium term and long term risks of generative A.I. and Dr. Arati Prabhakar, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology, shares her thoughts on what a national strategy for A.I. regulation could look like. Then, Meredith Whittaker, the president of encrypted messaging app Signal, shares why it is imperative to address the privacy issues in tech and what Signal is doing about it. Finally, Vice President Al Gore shares his view of what is happening in green tech, his thoughts on President Biden's climate legislation and the potential technology has to save the planet.

Meredith Whittaker is an outspoken critic of big tech's track record on gathering and processing user data. The president of encrypted messaging app Signal talks about what she calls its “surveillance business model” but also how much power these companies exert.AI, says Meredith, “is not some dematerialised technology that exists in the ether. AI is the product of significantly concentrated resources that right now are in the hands of large companies”.Naturally, the conversation strays to the hottest AI topic of 2023: ChatGPT, which Meredith calls a “bullshit engine”.

Earlier this month, Justin Hendrix traveled to RightsCon, the big gathering of individuals and organizations concerned with human rights and technology organized by Access Now. The sprawling event had hundreds of sessions on a wide range of themes, but one topic discussed across multiple tracks was the importance of encrypted communications, especially to groups such as political dissidents and journalists. A key panel at RightsCon featured Signal President Meredith Whittaker, who spoke out about policies proposed in legislatures around the world that threaten the promise of end-to-end encryption to preserve the privacy of messages sent between individuals and groups. Leaders of encrypted apps have pulled together of late to speak out against the proposed UK Online Safety Bill, signing letters and appearing at events. Shortly after RightsCon, Hendrix connected with Whittaker to learn more about Signal's posture against such legislation, why she sees encrypted communications as so crucial to freedom and human rights, and how the company thinks about safety and its role in the broader digital ecosystem.

Washington Post tech policy reporter Cat Zakrzewski speaks with Meredith Whittaker, the president of the encrypted messaging app Signal, about the company's efforts to protect consumer data, her criticisms of Big Tech and the social implications of artificial intelligence. Conversation recorded on Tuesday, Jan. 11, 2023.

What happens when an outspoken critic of the technology industry finds herself at the helm of one of the largest messaging apps in the world? Meredith Whittaker made her name as one of the tech industry's strongest internal critics, helping lead the worker uprising at Google, founding an institute to rethink the ethics of AI, and promoting a platform for a real progressive politics in technology. Now, she's the president of non-profit organization Signal, which builds a messaging app of the same name known for its serious dedication to privacy. This episode, we talk with Whittaker about the current moment in tech, if privacy still matters, and what she can do to help Signal prosper, despite its Big Tech competition. Guests: Meredith Whittaker, president, the Signal Foundation

Today we're sharing an episode of Decoder with Nilay Patel featuring an interview with Meredith Whittaker, president of Signal. Signal is the popular messaging app that offers encrypted communication. You might recognize Meredith's name from 2018 when she was an AI researcher at Google and one of the organizers of the Google walkout. Now she's at Signal, which is a little different than the usual tech company: it's operated by a nonprofit foundation and prides itself on collecting as little data as possible.

Meredith Whittaker is the president of Signal, the popular messaging app that offers encrypted communication. You might recognize Meredith's name from 2018 when she was an AI researcher at Google and one of the organizers of the Google walkout. Now she's at Signal, which is a little different than the usual tech company: it's operated by a nonprofit foundation and prides itself on collecting as little data as possible. But messaging apps are a complicated business. Governments around the world really dislike encrypted messaging and often push companies to put in backdoors for surveillance and law enforcement because criminals use encrypted messaging for all sorts of deeply evil things. But there's no half step to breaking encryption, so companies like Signal often find themselves in the difficult position of refusing to help governments. You might recall that Apple has often refused to help the government break into iPhones, for example. I wanted to know how that tradeoff plays out at Signal's much smaller and more idealistic scale. This is a good one, with lots of Decoder themes in the mix. We have to start doing checklists or something. Okay, Meredith Whittaker, president of Signal. Here we go.

There have been a lot of conversations here on “Marketplace Tech” about digital privacy. More folks are paying attention to things like encryption and the security of their messaging apps. Signal consistently ranks as one of the more popular choices for privacy advocates, and the app is increasingly being used by people beyond the cybersecurity crowd. Signal’s staff is small compared to that of messaging apps like Telegram, WhatsApp or iMessage — which comes pre-installed in iPhones — but it’s growing. Former Google researcher and digital privacy advocate Meredith Whittaker just signed on as Signal’s new president and today is her first day on the job. She’s been on Signal’s board since 2020 and says she plans to continue the company’s focus on encryption. Marketplace’s Kimberly Adams recently spoke with Whittaker about the future of the company, how she’d like to grow Signal without monetizing its users’ data and digital privacy issues at large.

Bonjour à tous et bienvenue dans le ZDTech, le podcast quotidien de la rédaction de ZDNet. Je m'appelle Guillaume Serries et aujourd'hui, je vous explique comment l'application de messagerie Signal va enfin tenter de gagner de l'argent. L'application de messagerie Signal vient d'embaucher Meredith Whittaker, une ancienne responsable du géant de la tech Google. Et ce n'est pas sur un petit poste puisqu'elle devient la première présidente de Signal. Reste que son objectif est très très ambitieux. Elle a pour mission ni plus ni moins de convaincre les utilisateurs de Signal de payer pour continuer à utiliser cette application pour l'heure gratuite. Signal est une application de messagerie comme WhatsApp ou Messenger. Sa réputation s'est construite sur la sécurité des échanges, et un chiffrement soit disant à toute épreuve. Signal propose en effet un chiffrement de bout en bout pour les discussions de groupe par texte, voix et vidéo, ne collecte ni ne stocke d'informations sensibles et ne conserve pas de sauvegardes de vos données sur ses serveurs. Un point de différenciation important vis à vis d'une concurrence acharnée sur le secteur des messageries. La plupart des concurrents de Signal utilisent en effet les données personnelles des utilisateurs pour gagner de l'argent. L'application a d'ailleurs connu un pic massif de téléchargements l'année dernière quand WhatsApp a modifié sa politique d'utilisation pour collecter des données sur les interactions de ses utilisateurs. A noter par ailleurs que Signal est gérée par une organisation à but non lucratif. Mais à présent, il faut bien gagner de l'argent. Surtout que si Signal compte actuellement 140,9 millions de téléchargements sur l'App Store et Google Play, ses concurrents sont loins devant. WhatsApp a dépassé les 2 milliards de téléchargements en 2019. Telegram de son côté a dépassé le milliard de téléchargements en 2021. Dans une interview, Meredith Whittaker a déclaré prévoir de se concentrer sur l'autofinancement, et ce grâce aux petits dons de millions d'utilisateurs. "Cela coûte des dizaines de millions de dollars par an pour développer et maintenir une application comme Signal" explique t-elle. Car oui, comme le sait très bien Meredith Whittaker avec son expérience chez Google, quand c'est gratuit, c'est vous le produit. La seule façon donc d'échapper à une technologie qui gagne de l'argent grâce à vos données est de payer pour des produits qui n'en gagnent pas, dit Mme Whittaker. Une alternative à la collecte de données n'existe que si la communauté des personnes qui en dépendent "donne un petit coup de pouce", dit-elle. Au delà de son pedigree chez Google, Meredith Whittaker, qui est membre du conseil d'administration de Signal depuis 2020, s'est fait connaître pour son discours parfois critique sur la mise en place des nouvelles technologies dans les entreprises. Elle a cofondé le AI Now Institute, un centre de recherche pour sensibiliser aux implications sociales de l'intelligence artificielle.

Intro: Contra – This Machine Kills (remixed) https://contra805.bandcamp.com/track/this-machine-kills We're joined by two of the sharpest minds on the politics of AI and data governance—Meredith Whittaker and Salomé Viljoen—to chat about the relationship between corporate gatekeepers and academic research, the construction and infrastructure of data, AI as a universal hammer for all nails, how the state enforces Silicon Valley's power, and what it would take to seize the data pipeline from private capital for the public good. This discussion expands on a recent article we published in Nature: Everyone should decide how their digital data are used—not just tech companies | Jathan Sadowski, Salomé Viljoen, Meredith Whittaker: nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01812-3 Salomé's profile: law.columbia.edu/faculty/salome-viljoen And Twitter: twitter.com/salome_viljoen_ Meredith's profile: ainowinstitute.org/people/meredith-whittaker.html And Twitter: twitter.com/mer__edith Subscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! patreon.com/thismachinekills Grab your TMK gear: bonfire.com/store/this-machine-kills-podcast/ Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).

The Alphabet Workers Union is a major turning point in a long history of worker organizing and activism at one of the world's largest tech companies. To understand this new force and what it's fighting for, we spoke with AWU's Executive Vice Chair Chewy Shaw and former Google employee and tech labor organizer Meredith Whittaker.

In this episode, Suzi talks to Meredith Whittaker, who worked at Google for a decade and now directs NYU's Artificial Intelligence Institute, where she focuses on the social implications of artificial intelligence and the tech industry responsible for it. Her recent Nation article, co-authored with Nantina Vgontzas, puts forward a militant progressive vision for tech, insisting that the left must vie for control over the algorithms, data and infrastructure that shape our lives. This is all the more urgent in light of the January 6 assault on the Capitol. We get Meredith’s explanation of the way platform business models like Facebook and YouTube drive right-wing conspiracy theories and right-wing organizing. She also looks at the way big tech exploits its workers, something we explored recently with Veena Dubal looking at the implication of the passage of Prop 22. We are fortunate to have Meredith help us understand the challenges as well as suggest the way to wrest control from big tech. Suzi then talks to Moscow writer, podcaster and political activist Ilya Budraitskis, about the massive anti-government protests that have rocked cities and towns across Russia following the arrest, detention, and now imprisonment of prominent opposition figure Alexei Navalny -- who returned to Russia on January 17 after narrowly surviving being poisoned from exposure to military-grade Novichok on August 20. The protestors were met with vicious police brutality, and 10,000 were arrested. Ilya Budraitskis stands with the protestors -- and we get his views of the movement itself, his analysis of the Putin regime, and a closer look at what Navalny represents.

We’re joined by the great Veena Dubal (twitter.com/veenadubal), law professor at UC Hastings, for a fantastic discussion about how gig work platforms like Uber have weaponized ideas of flexibility and entrepreneurship, the political / legal origins of the distinction between “employees” vs. “independent contractors,” and the possibilities for building worker power in the face of authoritarian neoliberalism. As Silicon Valley takes aim at other professions – rolling out flexible exploitation, eviscerating labor rights, and turning all jobs into piecework – the fate of gig workers is the fate of everybody.

Distinguished research scientist at NYU’s AI Now Institute and former Google employee/organizer Meredith Whittaker joins Adam to break down Prop 22.  They cover workers’ rights for tech companies like Uber and Doordash, why Uber and others spent 200 million dollars on Prop 22’s ad campaign, Meredith’s experience organizing at Google and pushing back at their foray into military tech, and the dangerous myths around artificial intelligence.

Alex Kantrowitz, the author of Always Day One and host of the Big Technology Podcast, joins me to discuss why algorithms are a lot like junk food without the regulation. To further discuss the societal impact of artificial intelligence systems, AI Now Institute Co-founder Meredith Whittaker shares what we need to know about built-in bias and discrimination.

Emily returns with tales of a haunted hotel she stayed at in Mobile, Alabama. Then it's the #babywitches who hexed the moon, followed by a listener email about the queer Sapphic aesthetics of cottagecore. This of course leads into some discussion of Taylor Swift's new album Folklore, and how in a way it's always fall right now. We read a listener email about the struggles of international students right now, and another about working in a plastic surgery clinic during the pandemic. Then the girls are joined by Meredith Whittaker - Research Professor and Co-founder of the AI Now Institute at NYU. After working at Google for over thirteen years Meredith helped lead the Google Walkouts to end AI contracts with the Department Of Defense. We talk to Meredith about racism in tech, the biased badness of algorithms, and the human beings behind most "artificial intelligence." And, of course, Robocop. How can we organize to prevent tech companies from say, building war machines for the government? Plus one hot but easy tip for avoiding facial recognition software at protests. All this on the all new Night Call!

This week, a conversation about privacy, ethics, and organizing in the world of technology.Who benefits from the lack of diversity in the tech industry? Does artificial intelligence reflect the biases of those who create it? How can we push for regulation and transparency?  These are some of the questions discussed by our guests, Meredith Whittaker, co-founder of AI Now at NYU and the founder of Google’s Open Research Institute; and Kade Crockford, Director of the ACLU Massachusetts’ Technology and Liberty Program. They appeared at the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco on June 7, 2019.

Color of Change President Rashad Robinson wrote “ "Lasting change to address the misinformation, discrimination, violent movements and data breaches that put users, especially Black users, at risk cannot subject to the whims of a single person." Currently, Zuckerberg controls 57.7% of voting shares. The Hill notes that 35% of Facebook’s shareholders withheld votes last year.   Here in DC Senators Blumenthal and Hawley wrote to the Federal Trade Commission urging it to wrap up its investigation into Facebook, calling for significant damages that exceed the $5 billion that some reports have anticipated.   Facebook bows to additional FTC oversight   Several sources have reported that Facebook has told federal regulators at the Federal Trade Commission that, in addition to paying what’s expected to be a multibillion dollar fine, it will also bend to additional oversight. Any major changes that Facebook plans to make to the platform would now need to go through a more rigorous approval process. And Facebook would need to hire a new privacy executive that the FTC pre-approves.  Facebook has also redesigned its website to emphasize group messages over the news feed in order to address privacy concerns.     Trump expands biometric data collection at the border   The Trump administration has expanded its collection of biometric data from migrant families at the U.S. border with Mexico. The Department of Homeland Security will now conduct DNA tests and a pilot to collect fingerprints from children under 14.    Putin signs new law closing Russia off from the internet   Russia took a huge step last week to close itself off from the internet. Vladimir Putin signed a new bill that would allow his country to develop a “sustainable, fully-functioning, and secure sovereign internet” to defend itself against potential cyberattacks.  The bill envisions doing this by creating a Russia-specific Domain Name Server.     Senators introduce bill to protect U.S. citizens’ data at the U.S./Mexico border   Senators Steve Daines And Gary Peters introduced a bipartisan bill that would prevent the Customs and Border Protection’s ability to sell personally identifiable information, like addresses and social security numbers, to third parties. The senators say the new measure could help prevent identity theft and credit card fraud.   Uber and Lyft stop adding new drivers in New York City   Uber and Lyft have stopped adding new drivers in New York City approximately 3 months after a new law went into effect that requires drivers to earn at least $17.22 per hour after expenses. The new law is intended to address low pay but also reduce the number of unused ride-sharing vehicles on the street. Politico noted that Uber and Lyft drivers have earned some $56 million more than they would have prior to February first.   Google employees stage sit-in to protest retaliation   Several hundred employees at Google offices around the world, including in London, staged a sit in last week to protest alleged retaliation against Google employee Meredith Whittaker for organizing a 20,000-employee walkout to protest forced arbitration f. During the sit-in other employees spoke about instances of retaliation that they too have allegedly experienced. Google released a statement saying it takes retaliation seriously and that it offers multiple channels by which employees have the ability to complain about retaliation, including anonymous complaints.     Microsoft takes initiative to beef up election security   Microsoft is taking the initiative to beef up election security by offering a free software that secures and validates votes and elections with new encryption methods. The company says it is ready to release “early prototypes” by 2020. Keep in mind though that it won’t be prepared for “significant deployments” until after the 2020 elections.       Events     Tues., 5/7 Federal Communications Bar Association CLE: Lawyering Social: Legal Issues on Social and Digital Media 6:00pm-8:15pm Wiley Rein, 1776 K St. $250 for non-members/$135 for members     Wed., 5/8   Washington Post 116th Congress State of Play Livestream   House Administration Committee Full Committee Hearing on Election Security 10:00AM 1310 Longworth     House Committee on Energy and Commerce Oversight of the Federal Trade Commission: Strengthening Protections for Americans’ Privacy and Data Security 10:30AM Rayburn, 2123   Thurs., 5/9   House Small Business Committee The Digital Ecosystem: New Paths to Entrepreneurship 10:00AM Rayburn, 2360   Federal Communications Commission May Open Meeting 10:30AM-12:30PM FCC,  445 12th St., NW

AI Now Institute founders Meredith Whittaker and Kate Crawford talk with Recode's Kara Swisher about artificial intelligence in this live interview recorded at the Studio Theatre in Washington, DC. In this episode: What is the AI Now Institute?; how "dirty data" can lead to faulty AI conclusions; how machine learning works; the “whack-a-mole” problem of biased search results; the politics of AI; diversity in computer science; what systems should not be run by humans?; Amazon's résumé-scanning AI failure; how the industry is trying to regulate itself and “ethics theater”; which federal agency should monitor AI in the US?; China’s creepy “social credit score”; the ways facial recognition and other invasions of privacy are creeping into the US, too; the Google walkout and protecting whistleblowers inside tech companies; and why Elon Musk is wrong about AI’s dangers.

In recent weeks, hundreds of Amazon employees have spoken out to oppose the company marketing its facial recognition software for use by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They join a chorus of voices — both in the tech world and outside of it — who are concerned about the use of artificial intelligence by law enforcement. We’re replaying a recent episode on the impact of A.I. on our civil liberties, featuring Meredith Whittaker of the AI Now Institute.

Six of the organizers of the Nov. 1 Google walkouts — Erica Anderson, Claire Stapleton, Meredith Whittaker, Stephanie Parker, Cecelia O'Neil-Hart and Amr Gaber — talk with Recode's Kara Swisher about how the worldwide protests came together and why Google's response has been inadequate. In this episode: (02:20) How the protests started; (07:13) The divide between tech rhetoric and tech reality; (10:24) How the organizers formulated their demands; (14:05) The rights of contractors at Google; (22:04) Why Googlers were ready to walk out; (29:31) Google's response and the organizers' reactions; (42:13) The post-walkout town hall meeting; (46:50) The privileges of being a tech worker; (50:25) What needs to happen next; (1:02:41) Are the walkout organizers hopeful?

It seems like artificial intelligence is everywhere these days — in our homes, in our cars, in our offices, and of course online. Government decisions, too, are being outsourced to computer code. In one Pennsylvania county, for example, welfare services use digital tools to assess the likelihood that a child is at risk of abuse. Los Angeles contracts with the data giant Palantir to engage in predictive policing, in which algorithms identify residents who might commit future crimes. Local police departments are buying Amazon's facial recognition tool, which can automatically identify people as they go about their lives in public. What does all this mean for our civil liberties? And how can the public exercise oversight of a secret algorithm? AI Now Co-founder Meredith Whittaker discusses this brave new world — and the ways we can keep it in check.

Jack Clark, strategy and communications director at OpenAI, Milind Tambe, founding co-director of USC's Center for Artificial Intelligence in Society and Meredith Whittaker, co-founder of AI Now Institute look into the ethical implications of AI.

When I interviewed Tristan Harris ( https://onezero.medium.com/social-dilemma-star-tristan-harris-responds-to-criticisms-of-the-film-netflix-s-algorithm-and-e11c3bedd3eb ) about The Social Dilemma earlier this month, my mentions filled with people saying, "You should speak to the people who were critical of the social web long before the film.” One name, Meredith ** Whittaker, stood out. An A.I. researcher and former big tech employee, Whittaker helped lead Google’s walkout in 2018 amid a season of activism inside the company.  On this edition of the Big Technology Podcast, we spoke not only about her views on the film, but of the future of workplace activism inside tech companies in a moment where some are questioning if it belongs ( https://blog.coinbase.com/coinbase-is-a-mission-focused-company-af882df8804 ) at all.
