We're building an artificial intelligence-powered dystopia, one click at a time, says techno-sociologist Zeynep Tufekci. In an eye-opening talk, she details how the same algorithms companies like Facebook, Google and Amazon use to get you to click on ads are also used to organize your access to political and social information. And the machines aren't even the real threat. What we need to understand is how the powerful might use AI to control us -- and what we can do in response. Do you agree with their observations? Why/Why Not? Make sure you explain your argument by using a fact from this podcast.

Explanation / Answer

The observations are very clear to agree.The technology of artificial intelligence chnages the way we see the world.In the social networking and shopping platforms,we can see the ads on the information we browse.It is a big network of big companies.They analyse with the help of information about our online behaviour and browsing trends to get benefitted from it.

Yes, the way the information used makes the difference.If it is for the mere purpose of displaying ads on various websites we visit,it is understandable that it is all a business.But the problem is it is more than that.The information is also being used to influence and control the people.The Cambridge Analytica is one of the example of how it works.What we all can do is to be aware and not to get influenced by those attempts.
