"We're not born human, we become human - and machines can become better than us, but we have to teach them how!" -
---
Edward Snowden gave the final punchline coining the most extraordinary conversation at Consensus 2023.
---
During the session "What the AI Explosion Means for Data Privacy," former U.S. defense contractor, whistleblower, and activist, Edward Snowden, and renowned cognitive scientist Dr. Ben Goertzel, founder of SingularityNET, explored the consequences of combining current surveillance practices with the exponential power of artificial intelligence advancements.
---
Dr. Ben Goertzel referenced David Brin's book "The Transparent Society," which foresaw the crossroads we face today in the "Age of the Machine." We can either choose the path of total surveillance where the Power System watches "we the people," or we can opt for "sousveillance," which involves "viewing from below" and allows the public to watch the watchers.
---
Ed emphasized the importance of making the right choice, noting that AI technology can be a positive force for good if its surveillance capabilities are shared with citizens. Dr. Ben Goertzel has dedicated his life to this goal.
