Containing Big Tech

Cornell researchers Houston Claure and Malte Jung discuss the social consequences of 'machine allocation behavior' and how humans feel and behave differently when machines make decisions on resource allocation. Author Tom Kemp talks about his concerns on data collection and privacy in Silicon Valley, his involvement in privacy advocacy, and proposing a bill for better regulation of data brokers in California. The podcast also covers the lack of regulation on tech companies' information collection, solutions for addressing big tech dominance, and the importance of education and advocacy.
