In the fourth episode of Real Media’s “Join The Dots,” Matt Kennard and Kam Sandhu discuss data, fintech, privacy, and the future. This episode features expert contributions from Dr. Tom Fisher (Privacy International researcher), Brett Scott (financial activist), Beverley Skeggs (professor of Sociology, Goldsmiths), and Dr Usha Ramanathan (indpendent law researcher from India).
Between them, they reveal the ways in which data technology is developing to create huge and largely unaccountable databases which rate our credit-worthiness, health, political beliefs, and social and economic patterns, and then trade this information in ways that we can only guess at.
