Blockchain: Data Integrity with Decentralized Cryptography
expanding ML data: maintaining security & privacy
More data is generated every day, and the companies gathering your data aren’t exactly slowing down. It’s so damn profitable, you see.
Data is “the new oil” of the Information Age, and companies are willing to pay for it: corporations spent about $19 billion in 2018 purchasing and harvesting personal data of potential users. They wouldn’t be doing this (for more than a year, anyway) if it didn’t make them loads of money.
I wrote how I figured automation will usurp plenty of jobs in the future, but there’s still plenty of time on the road ahead to experience a mildly dystopian future where individual data is over-collected, stolen, corrupted and generally used against us.
Because we seem to have quickly charged through the Information Age to the Disinformation Age. Anyone can write news, anyone can spread ‘alleged’ rumors. How do you know what’s true?
You trust the talking heads on the telescreen to give you the right take. Trust the people up top to tell you what really happened.
That works fine, right up until it doesn’t.
