How datasets and algorithms manipulate our thoughts and behaviors with Alice Bom

Working with big sets of data is common practice in this day and age. We gather large sums of information about basically everything. From medical insights to consumer behavior and from black holes to the deep sea, we have information about everything. But how can we safely work with those giant data sets and the algorithms surrounding it, without harming the people it interacts with? And are we truly in control of our actions or has technology – and the people behind it – have ways to manipulate our thinking without us knowing? I talk about these complicated, but very interesting, topics with Alice Bom. Alice is a data scientist who worked for some of the world's biggest corporations and is now the co-founder of Mountain Platform. Alice gives us an insight into her former jobs, her look at data safety, and ways we can improve organizations using data and technology the right way.
