Only seeing ads relevant to you used to be the dream, and the promise of advertising. But chances are you’ve talked about something and the next thing you know, you’re being served ads about it. Predictive analytics or surveillance? Who’s listening and what do they know about us?
Alex is joined in the shed by Joe Toscano, author of the book “Automating Humanity” and Founder/CVO of BEACON, along with Jen Bollman (CPB Director of Communications Strategy) and Joe Corr (CPB Executive Creative Technology Director). The group digs deep into the creepiest of media, the importance of teaching Media Literacy in schools, tech addiction, Russian hackers, China, ethics and who’s buying your data.
