Will Democracy Survive Big Data and Artificial Intelligence?
The tech workers of today are building the future that we will all live in.  None of this stuff is appearing out of thin air.  Someone, an individual human with morals and values needs to sit down and say &#x27;today I will program something that will benefit a corporation&#x2F;government at the expense of a person&#x27; and then carry on.<p>How many people here work for companies that threaten democracy in this way?  How many people have a google or facebook tracker on their personal site?  This kind of change is the sum of small individual responsibilities.<p>The early dream of the internet was one of free expression, but people -not corporations or governments- have worked very hard to undermine that.
