Description
The path forward to rein in online surveillance, AI, and tech monopolies
Technology is a gift and a curse. The five Big Tech companiesMeta, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Googlehave built innovative products that improve many aspects of our lives. But their intrusiveness and our dependence on them have created pressing threats to our civil rights, economy, and democracy.
Coming from an extensive background building Silicon Valley-based tech startups, Tom Kemp eloquently and precisely weaves together the threats posed by Big Tech:
the overcollection and weaponization of our most sensitive data
the problematic ways Big Tech uses AI to process and act upon our data
the stifling of competition and entrepreneurship due to Big Techs dominant market position
This richly detailed book exposes the consequences of Big Techs digital surveillance, exploitative use of AI, and monopolistic and anticompetitive practices. It offers actionable solutions to these problems and a clear path forward for individuals and policymakers to advocate for change. By containing the excesses of Big Tech, we will ensure our civil rights are respected and preserved, our economy is competitive, and our democracy is protected.
