CONTACT:Tellef S. Raabe
DESCRIPTION:Surveillance capitalism is the dominant business model of the 
 internet\, built on collecting as much data as possible about as many peop
 le as possible doing as many things as possible so as to algorithmically p
 redict and modify human behaviour for profit. However\, it is just one of 
 the forms of internet-enabled surveillance which makes use of machine lear
 ning to create and amplify information asymmetries and so create new ways 
 of attempting to influence behaviour. This talk will explore surveillance 
 capitalism and will discuss its relationship with political microtargeting
  and state surveillance practices\, identifying these as interrelated and 
 overlapping forms of internet-based power which seek to control the indivi
 dual in our emerging digital world.
