This week's show features guest chris gilliard, a visiting research fellow at the harvard kennedy school schorenstein centre. We talk about his concept of digital red lining and what that means for cities as these technologies are increasingly integrated into urban life. And we also look at how surveillance devices can be wielded or weaponized against other people in a very different way. This episode is free to everybody because you support the work that goes into making it happen.
Paris Marx is joined by Chris Gilliard to discuss the ethics of tech media recommending surveillance devices, aspects of “smart” technologies you might not have considered, and why we should think twice about surrounding ourselves with cameras and microphones.
