    Welcome to Intelligence Squared. I'm Stephanie Hare. Our guest today is Karl Oman. Welcome to Intelligence Squared, Karl. So I'm desperate to hear a little bit about your research background and how this led to the book that you wrote that …

    I mean, I'm relieved that this wasn't inspired by some terrible tragedy close to you. It comes from a more philosophical and scholarly bent. And I think one of the things that your book prompted for me, I mean, so many questions, where to e…

    Глава 5: what are future historians and social scientists going to be able to learn about our time specifically because of what you just said that stuff disappears but also things are not necessarily translated into the latest format you might have had vinyl records and you moved to cds and tapes and now you're on you know spotify but when spotify goes like you know i mean it's all we're using stuff that we think is really convenient and flexible and it exists you know in the ether but it could also just all disappear so yeah what does that mean for for future historians and and social scientists who want to understand us now in this moment that we're living in so i mean that's that's a question with many answers but uh it's a real thing that archivists are talking about what they call a digital dark ages where we think about digital information as being so secure as you're pointing out but uh but the hard truth is that in only a couple of decades from now if we continue this very short-sighted uh style of data management it's not unlikely that we'll actually or that that generation will actually be quite oblivious about their their digital past i think that is that is true but there are even more scary aspects of that my biggest fear is not necessarily that we will lose historical archives but rather that um these archives will be dominated by a handful of tech giants who are going to use them for economic but also political gain so one of one of the examples that i bring up in the book where i talk about this this privatization of of our collective digital past through our digital remains is uh former former twitter now x and the me too campaign so the me too movement was arguably one of the most important events of uh early 21st century especially when it comes to women's rights and it's a global movement with millions of testimonies from women all around the world now of course future historians are going to want to study what happened how did it spread what kind of testimonies what were people witnessing it about now that access to this very important part of our history is going to be gate kept by one individual and that individual is elon musk so elon musk is going to decide in the future who gets to study our collective digital past and that's a very like even if elon musk was a saint which he is not that would have been a very scary and an unstable development and i'm using the me too movement as an example here but any major event from the arab spring to the black lives Matter movement to, you know, I keep listing these really important events. 305s · Speaker 1

    interesting solutions that lets individuals be in control of their data to a completely different extent than they are today. And I'm all for these kinds of solutions, and they're good, and worthy, but they are not the full answer. And they…

    closet from my bulkier winter wardrobe to my spring and summer set of clothes, I like to take that as a moment to kind of reset. And this is a great time to pare my closet down to the essentials. But that means that each of those pieces hav…

    This made me think, first of all, who is this book for? Are you writing this as an alarm, you know, to say this is a problem that you've spotted and you would like certain people to have this on their radar and start thinking about it? Do y…

    So in. That is a question that will have massive impact on your peers and potentially even on your immediate family. So one of the examples that I'm drawing on in the book is bio data. Tens of millions of people, perhaps hundreds of million…

    That was something that brought me up short while reading your book is, you know, the dead have no privacy rights. And I was like, my God, that's hardcore. And I didn't know that. And I thought, is that something that you'd like to see chan…

    I certainly want to see more legal requirements. I think that, like, in the GDPR, the GDPR explicitly states that your data protection rights cease upon death. And I think that it would be a good thing to include dead people. Like, not to g…

    I think your question highlights an interesting point about the entire tech discourse, which is that it's either very short-term focused. It's about like what's going to be the next blockchain breakthrough or, you know, but what if AI in 10…

    when it comes to control of the past we've all read george orwell's 1984 and we know that whoever controls the past controls the future and so forth but when this discourse was born it's as if we couldn't imagine a bigger data controller th…

    say to gain those advantages from studying the past but that's not the only thing involved because it's also the privacy of those individuals and it's also the privacy of the individuals who are the descendants of those people so many many …
