This information being brought to the fore on this documentary is incredibly informative and useful to know. Everyone using face recognition on their phone or anywhere, or that have a smartphone, apps, technology need to know how companies are using data.
Interesting how the information was discovered to begin with... and to me it was a bit shocking that it was not entirely intentional a discovery. But a discovery nonetheless.
I'd love to see this documentary delve into the use for employment platforms and their algorithms too. The documentary showcases how employment platforms may be removing candidates that have gone to certain universities or that participated in certain organizations, etc. (But then say they can't find "qualified" candidates? Yet, look at unemployment stats...)
The bad reviews probably have vested interests and don't want people to know, or maybe are biased themselves? Either way....
Don't let that deter from watching how your information is gathered and used by technology today and in the future to come.
There is currently a big lack in regulation as AIs are being employed, so it's sort of a free for all until there's proper oversight.
Is this the new way of discrimination that people don't even know is happening? Maybe.. but the documentary just touches the surface on what and how tech is and can be used and that there is desperate need for oversight and regulation.
Must watch!! PLEASE educate yourself, you deserve to know this information.
