The business of biometrics | Madhumita Murgia | TEDxGateway

Madhumita Murgia chronicles the rising use of biological data - from faces to voices and DNA - by companies whose products we use every single day. By giving away this sensitive data for free, we open ourselves up to potential crimes, discrimination and even mass surveillance. She wants each one of us - anyone who uses the internet - to stand up and demand biometric rights, before it's too late.

Tedx talk are really change our perspective towards life.. Some talks are really very motivating.
These people who step on stage to share up their stories which literally help to shape our future.

[isaacige]

TEDx has blessed a lot of lives over the years.

Incredibly eye opening! It took my breath away to find out about 23 and me and google having a common link. There should be a way to protect our identity as a whole and this has made me more aware and eager to go off the grid!

[TomCat-bxfo]

Indeed her voice her speech style is too good. She is beautiful as well.
*just a complement*

[christianmedrano]

Thank you for this, very easy to understand and short and to the point! Everyone needs to listen and ask questions and we should all plan to change what’s going on.

It is pretty scary what one can incidently reveal. We need to preserve our privacy.

[BalikesirCicek]

A great conversation. As people listen, they fear the future and technology.
Muhteşem bir konuşma. İnsan dinledikçe gelecekten korkuyor.

1:10 "Creepy as this sou-" *EVERYONE STARTS APPLUADING*

[venkatajayanth]

I appreciate she addressed situation.!
and so does many others.
but at the same time she is not providing solution for the common man.
A common man unaware of all this plot by corporate sharks already included social media into his life style
And we cannot expect one sudden change overnight because he can lost contacts with friends etc.
A long term solution yet an effective one is required to the people living today.
We all know the real problem we are facing now and then
only a solution and a guide to follow the solution is required

[dynasty]

Although regulation is needed, a lot of good will be done with biometric data collection.

She is pandering the fear aspect of big data collection while not acknowledging massive contributions to science.

[TheKent]

States gave way to corporations, and the functions changed services. I'm from Russia, but sane people all over the World will understand what it's about.

[heavensstapler]

"Ok Google, play Beat it by Michael Jackson."
"Finalizing payments for indoor jacuzzi..."
"...wait what!?"
"Thank you for purchasing!"

[PrashVerse]

New technology more privacy challenges

[rennieljaysonjacintorosale]

Biometrics will be a great help for all, but there are still downsides. I am very facinated everytime TED uploads videos. Always inspiring and kept me do videos that might help others too.

All of these talks around data privacy fail to mention the part about opting in to data collection, she's making it sound like it's automatic or prescribed. I think we need to understand the existing safeguarding methods.

[gblogan]

This was a great talk. I wondered about 23 and me as i watched this amd soon enough it was covered in the ground discussion. Bravo 👏

[Dave-erko]

Well explained and a very important topic. Top-notch talk
