"Anything engineered—cars, bridges, buildings—can cause harm to people, and yet we have built a civilization on engineering. ...If we treat our inventions as occult objects, we can hardly be good engineers. Seeing A.I. as a form of social collaboration is more actionable: it gives us access to the engine room, which is made of people."

#DataDignity is the idea that if a bot relies on your reporting, you should keep track of where the sources came from. This would create a shared sense of responsibility and liability where everything works better. A very different world could unfold where if an AI bot relied on your reporting, you get payment for it.

Here's your regular reminder that these companies collect our data and sell it with impunity. We deserve to have ownership over our own data.
