AI tools could open up vast new fields of creative and productive possibilities for society. For this to be the case, however, people and organizations need strong privacy protections, encryption and cryptographic verification. AI was built on surveillance and, without strong privacy protections, it will likely unleash a data dystopia of intensified surveillance, deep-fakes and centralized power. But how could strong data privacy lead to better AI? And could encryption democratize governance and access to AI? Join this session to find out from someone who has been at the center of this story.

AI is better with privacy: Chelsea Manning on the next decade of the internet

Join this masterclass with Nym, Chelsea Manning and special guest Meredith Whittaker, President of Signal Foundation, to learn about how privacy technologies hold the key to solving the social ills of Artificial Intelligence. AI has been built on stolen data without the knowledge or consent of people, companies and organisations. This is the result of over a decade of surveillance-driven business models where people’s online lives are treated as a free-for-all by tech companies. In this masterclass, leading mixnet privacy provider Nym joins forces with world leading privacy chat app Signal to walk you through the tools you will need for a future with AI. The session will cover how strong privacy techniques and surveillance-proof business models can enable 'consensual AI', protect against deep-fakes, resolve the issue of bias, and secure digital freedoms for the future.
