“Technologies are not the problem, nor is our ability to implement standards on the use of technologies, that goes on. But I think the ethical standards of communication, and judging whether the speech content of others is honest, competent and reliable are being massively disrupted and need rebuilding.” (May not be an exact quote, but extremely close, listen for yourself around 28:30). My opinion: where there are problems, one can often find opportunity in offering innovative solutions in overcoming said problems. In this regard information technology communications, which enabled the massive dissemination of disinformation and allowed the undermining of public trust in fact-based information by certain groups and their agents, now has an opportunity to redeem itself by proving accompanying levels of source checking as a ‘default’ mode to enable straightforward assessment of ‘honesty, competency, reliability’. See 26:50 and following for some of the key highlights of this insightful presentation.
Interesting comment. And yet what might be the result if certain information technologies systematically advantage certain data sources -- say, when "fact-checking" -- over other data sources, whether by happenstance or possible by design? Cheers.
so you challenge the idea that there is a trust issue based on a historical evaluation on self report that spans a mere 20 years; can this even be considered a historical perspective; is this even an accurate measurment; it seems to be cherry picking to forward some kind of agenda
I don't always get the gist of her lectures on the first try , but after listening to them two or three times I understand her . And I think the same as you . Genius . Perspicacity and common sense are sometimes compatible .
It is vanishingly rare to find someone I wholeheartedly agree with on every point.
