Predatory Data: Eugenics in Big Tech and Our Fight for an Independent Future
* Anita Chan, iSchool & College of Media
Illuminating the throughline between the 19th century's anti-immigration and eugenics movements and our sprawling systems of techno-surveillance and algorithmic apartheid, this talk explains how the insidious legacy of eugenics lives on in the algorithmic authoritarianism, and data-driven discrimination of Big Tech. Chan explains how it happened and how we can draw from a legacy of commitments to data pluralism to fight back.
