About this episode
We all have an anecdote of a time when we’ve had an in-person conversation and then received an online advert about something we discussed. This leads many of us to believe our phones are eavesdropping on our conversations.
In this episode of LSE iQ, Charlotte Kelloway asks: Are our phones listening to us? She speaks to Professor Edgar Whitley of LSE’s Department of Management about the dangers of algorithms controlling the information we see.
Privacy expert Dr Carissa Véliz from the University of Oxford reveals how sensitive personal data can be bought and sold by data brokers.
Professor Nick Couldry from LSE’s Department of Media and Communications, discusses our increasing dependence on AI and how it’s training us to use it more and more.
