Citizen Science and Social Media.
Google will know users better than they know themselves through analyzing all of their data. Algorithms may come to rule decision making. While technology connects people, it can also encourage isolation. Social networks tap into vices like ego and sloth to be successful. Issues like poverty, inequality, environmental destruction and urbanization are growing problems while economic growth and science are unsustainable and used for harm. Lasting social change requires raising awareness, internal transformation, and impacting the external world, represented by Gandhi's example. Technology amplifies human abilities but cannot create compassion - inner transformation must lead.
This document presents a pitch deck for an AI community platform that gives personalized guidance to users on growing their own produce while keeping ownership and control over their data. The platform aims to address challenges of increasing global population and food production by helping users cultivate crops more efficiently and responsibly through data sharing within a community. It targets kitchen gardeners as an initial user group and outlines how the platform works by selecting a plot, then providing customized guidelines and advice based on integrated IoT and community data sources.

Like every year, BETC Digital travelled to Austin to bring you fresh inspiration and new ideas from SXSW, the famous digital festival.
Where is digital heading in the following years? We attended conferences by people such as Eric Schmidt, Julian Assange or Edward Snowden to gather their views of the topic.
This document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT) and how it can be used to add value in six areas: knowledge, connectivity, protection, wellbeing, mobility, and self-expression. It warns that getting the IoT right requires playing nice with privacy, learning from past mistakes of excessive surveillance and data imbalance, avoiding gimmicks, reducing digital waste, and ensuring solutions are useful, targeted and personal. Marketers are challenged to credibly create IoT products, services and tools that leverage available data and platforms aligned with their brand and audience.
The document discusses artificial intelligence and the singularity. It provides several definitions and perspectives on the singularity from thinkers like von Neumann, Good, and Vinge. The singularity refers to the hypothetical moment when technological growth becomes uncontrollable and unpredictable due to greater-than-human intelligence created by technology. The document also discusses topics like human-AI relationships, love and intimacy with robots, AI and privacy issues, and current and potential future applications of artificial intelligence.
This document discusses what should be done with large amounts of data. It warns that data could be misinterpreted if not properly understood, and that perspectives and assumptions can influence data. Quality and context of data are important, as correlation does not necessarily imply causation. Overall, the document emphasizes the need to provide context and think critically about data in order to unlock its power and avoid being passive consumers or making misguided decisions based on irrelevant information.
This document discusses how information technology can help address sustainability challenges posed by the Anthropocene era and planetary boundaries. It describes how supernetworks, small world networks, and collective intelligence enabled by new communication technologies are building resilience through phenomena like early warning systems for disease outbreaks. However, these benefits are not guaranteed - positive outcomes require active work to develop the web for collaborative problem solving rather than just spreading junk. Collaboration between scientific and technological communities could help transform information flows into a global force for resilience.
This document discusses how employee assistance programs (EAPs) may evolve by 2028 in a world impacted by rapid technological change. It predicts that in 2028:
1) EAPs will deliver services through innovative digital means like text/video counseling on new devices, but will remain "tech proof" as they focus on human-to-human communication and short-term interventions.
2) EAPs will have opportunities to grow globally and serve a diverse population across different cultures, generations, races and genders.
3) EAP professionals will use advanced digital tools and data to identify the best resources and optimize interventions for clients, while ensuring client data and systems remain secure.

Social Machines: The coming collision of Artificial Intelligence, Social Netw...James Hendler
Jim Hendler discusses social machines, which he defines as networks of machines supporting networks of people working together in ways that impact the real world. He argues that social networking consumes huge amounts of human time and that this time could be harnessed through social machines to solve problems like curing disease and feeding the hungry. Examples of early social machines include games with a purpose that harness human computation and citizen science projects like Galaxy Zoo. Moving forward, social machines may blend more with artificial intelligence, and their study requires multidisciplinary perspectives from computing, social science, and other fields. Realizing their potential faces both social challenges around online communities and technical challenges in platform design.
This session helps affiliate marketers, networks and merchants recognize the power of adapting and adopting social media platforms into their programs for increased traffic, conversions and profit.
As parents, it is our job to teach our kids about life. One aspect of life we need to teach and lead them in is information security. In this talk I’ll outline our family’s approach to information security and why my bio mentions teaching my children how to hack in an ethical fashion. This talk will be more than encouraging parents to get their kids to eat their digital vegetables. It will also touch on some of the vexing problems our children face today including bullying and suicide.
When people are exposed to the new for the first time their reaction, quite rightly, is generally one of caution and perhaps a degree of suspicion. And, when that ‘new born’ is a novel technology, reactions can quickly become amplified and biased toward the dystopian by the sensationalism of media and mis-information of social networks. In this modern era I think we can also safely assume that Hollywood has more than a ‘bit part’ in nurturing extreme reactions with movies such as Terminator, AI and Ex-Machina.
Our purpose here is to dispel the modern myth that technology is, or can be, inherently evil and a direct threat to humanity. We do so by positing three basic axioms:
“Without technology we would know and understand
almost nothing”
“The greatest threat to humanity is humanity”
“If technology progress and societal advance stall, then civilisations collapse”
Having briefly establishing these in the context of our wider history, we focus on the Industrial Revolutions and their beneficial upside and consequential negatives. We then move on to examine Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Life, and Quantum Computing in the context of our current needs and realising sustainable futures, and the survival of our civilisation.
This document discusses the potential of virtual reality (VR) to promote social change and empathy. It provides examples of VR experiences created by organizations like the UN and National Autistic Society to raise awareness of important issues. One case study describes a VR installation at the Glastonbury Festival that allowed attendees to experience stories from a refugee camp. The document argues that VR can do more than just provide information - by allowing direct experiences, it can meaningfully engage people and increase involvement in issues. It also notes that VR stimulates more than just the five basic senses and can provide highly impactful experiences.

Lee Rainie discussed an extensive roster of expert predictions about the internet in the coming decade. He discussed what happens to people’s behavior when the internet is everywhere, how new social and cultural divides will emerge, how deeply education will be disrupted, and how a different mix of companies will influence the Internet.
This document summarizes the key findings from a 2014 Pew Research Center survey of experts about the future of the internet in 2025. The survey covered topics like how the internet will impact daily life, the growth of the "Internet of Things", and potential threats to online content sharing. Some of the main findings include:
1) The internet will be deeply embedded in all aspects of daily life and society by 2025 through technologies like smart devices, augmented reality, and massive data collection.
2) The "Internet of Things" involving billions of connected devices is expected to grow and provide benefits through enhanced convenience and information, but also pose privacy challenges.
3) Significant hindrances to online content sharing are possible
The Next Moore's Law: Netness - describes the growing and changing power of connectivity - and why connectivity is replacing Moore's Law as the most important source of opportunity. It suggests that "everything wants to be connected" because the more things are connected (can communicate) the better things work. It describes connectivity as evolving to become fields rather than networks. Original date of presentation: June, 2009.
This document discusses both the promise and potential pitfalls of data use in the non-profit sector. While data can empower people by providing information to make informed choices, there are also risks if not handled responsibly. Specifically, non-profits may collect and use personal data without proper consent, guidelines, or oversight. The document warns against thinking that more data is always better and that technology alone empowers. It advocates for a responsible approach that considers issues like identity, consent, re-use, and doing no harm. Real-life examples will be presented of challenges around police body cameras, digital redlining, and the Netflix Prize effect to illustrate these issues.
The Social Life of the Internet of ThingsStephen Cox
What can social sciences tell us about designing for the internet of things (IOT)?
Imagine if you will that you have just discovered that some of your devices responsible for maintaining your health and wellbeing have been lying to you… They did it with good intentions; your scales were faking your weight loss and were in cahoots with your blood pressure monitor and step counter. They saw how happy you were when you felt like you were making progress so they decided to “help you” get to your goals faster.
Your phone let you in on their little secret. What would you do? Ditch your phone? Reward your phone for dobbing them in? Get them all out of your life and start again, with dumb objects?
Worse still, as a UX designer how are you going to deal with having to design for a world in which your products, objects and services will collaborate, communicate and share with each other. How can you create systems that not only react to human needs, but also potentially shape the behaviours of the people who are using them?

The General Data Protection Regulation: Why do people say yes to marketing?
There is a dichotomy between respect for private lives and the data-driven demands of marketing. Hyper personalisation, profiling and programmatic marketing’s ability to deliver pinpoint accurate messaging, must surely drive greater return on marketing investment; but at what cost to an individuals’ right to privacy.
What if a law demanded absolute honesty, total disclosure, a revelation of the true intimacy of the data collected, a cathartic proclamation of the true depth of our knowledge, the value of this data, and the profit earned?
Never mind what if; it’s here and will be in force in less than two years.
This event is about what you can, and should be doing to profit from changes in law and attitudes precipitated by the General Data Protection Regulation. Marketers and agencies must now ask; if people were made to understood what we did in terms of tracking, segmenting, profiling, augmenting, scraping and trading in data about them, would they actively, unequivocally, continually CONSENT to it?
If you think the answer is no, you might want to place this question at the top of your to-do list; why people say yes to marketing?

It also discusses identity fraud in the UK, with 80% of fraud occurring online and a 31% increase in confirmed cases from the previous year. The document then examines how blockchain technology could help solve issues of decentralized, reliable, secure and cost-effective identification without borders, but also notes challenges around cost, sustainability, speed and lack of international standards for blockchain identity solutions.
Will blockchain technology prove to be the biggest disruptor the digital industry has yet faced? Or is it the salvation for creatives and content creators? What exactly is the blockchain? This breakfast briefing will unlock the mystery as you hear from thought leaders and digital practitioners on what the next big thing means for digital.
Dave looks at the types of blockchain and the different ways in which the blockchain can be applied in the 'real world'.
Blockchain is a distributed ledger that records digital events and transactions in a way that is permanent and verifiable. It allows information to be recorded and shared across a network of multiple parties without the need for central record keeping. The technology began with Bitcoin and provides an open record of every Bitcoin transaction. It has potential applications beyond digital currencies for any system requiring a secure and decentralized record of transactions or information.
Agile marketing techniques can meet the ‘always on, always connected’ need for unprecedented speed and flexibility. Hear how agile marketing allows agencies and brands to work more collaboratively on their marketing campaigns; and how to use metrics to learn and adapt, instead of 12-month plans.
The document discusses several topics related to clients and business relationships. It notes that while business motives are usually focused on profit, people's motives are complex and varied as the human brain is not fully understood. It emphasizes the importance of building trusted relationships with clients by being their strongest ally and having them as advocates. The document also acknowledges that the real world is imperfect and problems will inevitably arise in client relationships, such as conflicting objectives between clients or a client not fully supporting a project.
The document discusses balancing creativity, productivity, and well-being in the workplace. It introduces two employees, Jen the designer and Pawan in accounts, who are initially unhappy but then happy. It suggests strategies like satellite teams, special projects, and staff rotations to help maintain balance and positive morale.

Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Berners Lee urged us to make the web that we want - stop censorshipAssange and Snowdon were there, virtually. Their faces beamed in from across the globeBright eyed and bushy tailed.We seemed to be grappling with ownership on all levels: who owns what and where.Global unrest, the balkanization of the web with countries building walls around their bit of the internet. Bitcoins was there, encryption was there. Google were talking about how they protect our data from prying eyes of the NSA ... But the question was who protects us from them? Who has the right to share or own your data, how much government info should be free?

Not only was he bashing the sureveilance from our governments but also from the global corporations:"What is going on is an unprecedented theft of wealth from the majority of the population by those who already have a lot of power," said Assange when asked a question about Facebook and privacy.
Snowden was there too (well through the power of the interwebs)
As I’m sure youll hear from the rest of todays presentations, the theme of privacy and data dominated many tracks. Specifically, in stark contrast to last, year the fear of censorship, ubiquitous computing and passive data capture was there in a lot of talks and post talk discussion."with everything from diapers to dishwashers being “connected,” what does this mean for society as a whole?""Do we run the risk of losing control and allowing technology to take over lives?"

Maslow’s hierarchy of needsEverybody with a fitbit or fuel band will already do this – Based on the feedback that you get, you will adjust your behaviour.If you’ve not reached your 10000 step goal or your new personal best you can know the need to work harder to improve
Jennifer Dunnam from Frog was taking this thought in a slightly different direction. Yes, we can sense and measure everything but as humans we long for emotional interactions.
She looked at the design of devices in the contect of how they affect our emotional intelligence. She gave some great examples.
The Rationalizer acts as an 'emotion mirror' that reflects the intensity of the user's feelings. The system consists of two components, the EmoBracelet and the EmoBowl. The bracelet measures the arousal component of the user’s emotion which is indicated via a dynamic light pattern on either the EmoBracelet itself or on the EmoBowl. If emotions are running high the more intense the dynamic light pattern becomes, alerting the user that it may be wise to take a time-out and re-consider their actions.
Nevermind is a biofeedback-enhanced adventure horror game that takes you into the dark and twisted world of the subconscious. As you explore surreal labyrinths and solve the puzzles of the mind, a biofeeback sensor will monitor how scared or stressed you become moment-to-moment. If you let your fears get the best of you, the game will become harder. If you’re able to calm yourself in the face of terror, the game will be more forgiving.Nevermind strives to create a haunting gameplay experience that also teaches you how to be more aware of your internal responses to stressful situations. If you can learn to control your anxiety within the disturbing realm of Nevermind, just imagine what you can do when it comes to those inevitable stressful moments in the real world...

Affdex - facial expressions to measure the emotional connection people have with advertising, brands and media.
The developers also made a jacket that resembles a chain-mail vest whose bendable, wired “leaves” use 40 motors to flap when the wearer is happy. To show stress, similar motors on the back of the vest literally raise its hackles. Another of their inventions is a fabric device that hangs on the wall; it turns crimson and sets off a fan when it picks up stress from a user’s wrist sensor.
Our devices know our thoughts.
With all this extra data and info at our fingertips we have a responsibility to not overdo it.We now have a unprecedentedly big toolset available to us as brands and designersWhen all this extra tech in the hands of brands and advertisers will we be able to resit the urge to be gimmicky with it? I really hope so.The concern in discussions was that brands have a bit of a jistory of steamrollering in with gimmicks. Anyone that has seen a Flash intro on a website will know what I mean.
Interactivity is permeating everything so if you design interfaces, don’t restrict yourself to screensIf you are a screen designer and your not already aWe need to learn fast
So if you have a device or network of devices that can sense in near human-like resolution it stands to reason you have to design your interfaces or responses with great consideration.And think about the volume of data and information – we don’t need to know all of that, please don’t put everything into the interface
I had a funny conversation with a friend of mine that has a smart watch. He was dismayed that he’d upset 3 people in the last week. He’d looked at a tweet on his watch during a conversation. He glanced at his watch and when he looked up realised that he’d convinced the other person that he was bored of the conversation and wanted out.Or all the google glass users that whilst rolling their eyes to interact looked like they were going into some kind of seizure when they were talking to you.
