El hilo interviews Carissa Véliz, professor at Oxford's Institute for Ethics in AI, on surveillance and AI prediction ethics.
- In late August Meta faced the biggest US lawsuit ever against a big tech firm, accused by state attorneys general of designing products to addict millions of minors and exploit their data; it ended in a settlement.
- Véliz argues the surveillance machinery built by big platforms now feeds a prediction machine that effectively lets a handful of entrepreneurs decide humanity's future.
- 47-minute episode with full transcript and English translation; a substantive deep dive on data surveillance and AI governance.
