How private is too private when we're talking about #privacy? Is it moral for our private identities to exist in a grey area system? What does a future with machine privacy like #ZeroKnowledgeProofs hold?

In this episode of #ShieldedTransactions, we chat with Whyrusleeping, an engineer at Protocol Labs and #Zcash advocate, about what the future will look like in a post zksnarks world and how we need to protect our identities in a future that relies so heavily on machine learning and complex systems. 


Session Summary: (423) Shielded Transactions | Who Should Control Your Privacy? (with Whyrusleeping) - YouTube

The Foresight Institute is a research organization and non-profit that supports the beneficial development of high-impact technologies. Since our founding in 1987 on a vision of guiding powerful technologies, we have continued to evolve into a many-armed organization that focuses on several fields of science and technology that are too ambitious for legacy institutions to support.

Allison Duettmann is the president and CEO of Foresight Institute. She directs the Intelligent Cooperation, Molecular Machines, Biotech & Health Extension, Neurotech, and Space Programs, Fellowships, Prizes, and Tech Trees, and shares this work with the public. She founded Existentialhope.com, co-edited Superintelligence: Coordination & Strategy, co-authored Gaming the Future, and co-initiated The Longevity Prize.
