Seth Stephens-Davidowitz (2018) | Everybody Lies (Except the Internet)

Big data reveals the sad truth that we all lie, almost all of the
time. Except, that is, when we're online. Why do we treat the
internet like a confessional box? What secrets do our searches
contain? 'Data whisperer' Seth Stephens-Davidowitz reveals the
vulnerabilities and insecurities, the patterns and potential, and
the ugly prejudices that our Google searches disclose. This
keynote talk was presented at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas
2018. It is chaired by Ann Mossop.
