Although I don't particularly like the term 'new normal' it is very likely that as the world reopens after COVID19 there will be changes in the way we live our lives that even 6 months ago we may not have expected, or accepted. Many of my Food for Thoughts over the past few years have talked about AI its impact on us, and the next generation. I believe that the rate at which AI will enter our lives will have been accelerated by the COVID pandemic.
The first video focuses on the different approaches to the pandemic situation taken by Chinese and US society and their acceptance of authority whilst the second discusses the dangers of the erosion of freedom that we are allowing to happen as systems like face recognition become more and more every day in our societies. Hopefully, you are thinking about this and where you will draw the line about allowing AI into your life or perhaps even into your body in the future, as pressure will mount to track us and our health for the 'greater good of society.'
"To combat COVID-19, countries have enforced city-wide shutdowns, stay-at-home orders, and mask mandates -- but the reaction (and adherence) to these rules have differed markedly in the East and West. In conversation with TED's head of curation Helen Walters, writer, and publisher Huang Hung sheds light on how Chinese and American cultural values shaped their responses to the outbreak -- and provides perspective on why everyone needs to come together to end the pandemic.

"Privacy isn't dead, but face surveillance technology might kill it, says civil rights advocate Kade Crockford. In an eye-opening talk, Kade outlines the startling reasons why this invasive technology -- powered by often-flawed facial recognition databases that track people without their knowledge -- poses unprecedented threats to your fundamental rights. Learn what can be done to ban government use before it's too late."
