In this program, Hazel Henderson and NASA Chief Scientist Dennis Bushnell explore all the current issues swirling around the Internet, now the de facto “infostructure” undergirding our global economy — just as rails and roads were the infrastructure of previous centuries.
They discuss key questions, now that the Internet hosts businesses, finance, social media, news and “fake news “empowering individuals, innovation, entrepreneurs, as well as cybercriminals, jihadis, cryptocurrencies, money laundering, with software and malware that can damage physical power plants! As Internet governance changes, is it robust enough for all the new bandwidth users, from video to the so-called “internet of things. All in this fast-paced discussion.
In this program, Hazel Henderson explores with NASA Chief Scientist Dennis Bushnell the exploding use of social media and addictive behaviors of users leading to loss of privacy, autonomy and jobs. They discuss all these issues of psychographic targeting of groups using big, data and proprietary algorithms, which are sold to data brokers and advertisers. They review the new efforts to protect users and voters, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe, attempting to curb the misuse of user’s private information with heavy fines. They look at the other problems including government surveillance and toxic content: hate speech, biased algorithms, terrorist recruiting sites, Russian trolling and its influence on US and European elections. Many proposals for how individuals can protect themselves are also discussed, even though this burden must also be shared by the corporations and government agencies as well.
