Human life is being increasingly distilled into data points, yet few people know who is collecting their data and how they’re using it. Professor Wendy H. Wong offers critical insights into how “datafication” is transforming humanity and the social fabric, thus redefining the very nature of community. The socio-political choices that people make regarding datafication could influence how Big Data, AI and other technologies affect life on an individual and collective level, explains Wong in this compelling read. Learn how to become a “data citizen” by using your voice to protect your interests and humanity’s common future.
