Big Tech wants us to start wearing their AR wearables. It will make it even more difficult to escape from their 'surveillance capitalism'. This presentation explains how we can avoid this situation with DIY AI

1. Control yourself with DIY AI

2. AR wearables are getting smaller and more comfortable

3. Big Tech wants us to wear their devices, for obvious reasons

4. With these devices they will get an unparelleled understanding of us, our surroundings and our habits

5. With these profiles Big Tech will be able to guide us towards what is best for us (and for them)

6. How to avoid being controlled like a robot?
CAMERA

7. What options and alternatives will we find app in the stores provided by the hardware suppliers?

8. Can we choose not to share our camera data? Or is that not an option because future AR cameras need the cloud to function well?

9. What if we see these messages each morning, requesting us to share our data, to receive a good service?

10. We can trust the companies to handle our data responsibly because there's the GDPR, right?

11. Unfortunately, loopholes allow the companies to do a lot more with our data without being transparent about it

12. As long as we keep sharing data, we're dependent on an AI cloud that is starting to know us better than we know ourselves

13. It's time to reverse the situation: we should be the 'black box', and external services need to access us through our "API"

PATENT INFRINGEMENT!
Can we switch between AI providers? They will not be able to offer similar interchangeable services because of patent regulations

DIY AI
Fortunately, individuals are not constrained by these patent regulations. So it's time to create our own personal AI modules!

16. But Artificial Intelligence isn't an easy domain, so it might be irresponsible to have DIY AI humans on the street

17. What we need is an Open Source 'self AI' set-up so we can collaborate, co-create and share our insights and scripts

But will this shared OS turn us into homogeneous beings? Whatever the future, it's going to be a challenge to #BeYourOwnRobot
