Every day, corporations are connecting the dots about our behaviors—silently scrutinizing clues left behind by our work habits and Internet use. The data compiled and portraits created are incredibly detailed, to the point of being invasive. However, who connects the dots about what firms are doing with this information? What is the role of the government, directly or indirectly, coordinating with those firms behind the scene? In his notable book, The Black Box Society: The Secret Algorithms That Control Money and Information (Harvard University Press, 2015), Prof. Pasquale argues forcefully that we all need to empower ourselves and to set limits on how big data affects our lives. In this speech, Prof. Pasquale will explain how and why black boxes exist, by giving us a tour of how computational intelligence has come to dominate three essential parts of our life: reputation, search, and finance, and the alternatives for the regulators.
Prof. Pasquale will reveal how powerful interests for the alliance of the government and private firms to abuse opacity and secrecy for-profit and explain ways to rein them in. Demanding transparency is only the first step. An intelligible society would further assure that crucial decisions of most essential firms involving people are fair, nondiscriminatory, and open to criticism. Silicon Valley and Wall Street need to accept as much accountability as they impose on others. After gripping the dangers of runaway data and black box algorithms comprehensively, Prof. Pasquale proposes pragmatic reforms to improve the information economy, freedom and equality.
Since its publication in 2015, the firms of social media, search engine, and financial institutions have never slowed down to collect, process, and disseminate the data to maximize their interests. The failure of the regulating regime to address the secret and opaque algorithms not only infringes the right to privacy and freedom of speech but jeopardize the foundation stone of democracy. Prof. Pasquale, in this speech, will further analyze the leak of Facebook-Cambridge Analytica data scandal.
