Many of us now expect our online activities to be recorded and analyzed, but we assume the physical spaces we inhabit are different. The data broker industry doesn't see it that way.

Walking Data Down Now Street Way

We need a sweeping debate about ethics, boundaries, and regulation for location data technologies.

As we move into an era in which personal devices are seen as proxies for public needs, we run the risk that already-existing inequities will be further entrenched. Thus, with every big data set, we need to ask which people are excluded. Which places are less visible? What happens if you live in the shadow of big data sets?

Live Shadow People Data You Run

Error-prone or biased artificial-intelligence systems have the potential to taint our social ecosystem in ways that are initially hard to detect, harmful in the long term, and expensive - or even impossible - to reverse.

Impossible Potential Long Hard Even

The fear isn't that big data discriminates. We already know that it does. It's that you don't know if you've been discriminated against.
