Also the way we perceive the regulation of personal data has been changed. Personal data is not only made accessible to official institutions but also to everyone who has access to the world wide web. This because society’s definition of privacy and freedom has changed. People are okay with giving up their privacy for the reasons of ease, fastness and conveni-ence. Neither laws nor issues are attached to the fact that everyone has got the right to gain control over people’s lives.

Neuralink recently sold the brain-controlling typing chip to Apple. At this moment of time, kids do not grow up with texting and typing anymore but with implantable brain chips that offload their cognition and augment their memory, which results in mind controlling devi-ces like PLX iPhones, drones and self-driving transportation.

We live in a society in which citizens do not care about privacy regulation, giving the tech industry total autonomy over data collection, its exchange and trade. In this free market where knowledge technology remains the economic driver, and data is being seen as the
‘new oil’, people do not have any power regarding the information that is being transferred. Tech companies make huge profits selling big data to brands but also to governments all over the world. Which come in handy as for example face recognition technology makes it possible to control the world’s social rating system.

This system started a few years ago in China, but soon, it took over the world and now in every country worldwide artificial intelligence (AI) is able to match faces to a database of billions of ID photos, which will mostly be used for security and government purposes, such as public administration and tracking wanted suspects.

Facial recognition offers more interesting possibilities that range from improving 3d films and video games to creating the ideal embryo. Hospitals are able to use Google’s online ser-vices to identify embryos as either good, fair or poor. Its algorithms are learned to diagnose diabetic blindness and identify the genetic mutations fuelling cancerous tumour growth.

And not only AI is helpful for newborn babies but it also serves as a powerful ally against curing diseases like HIV and Aids. These days doctors are able to construct a nuanced as-sessment of data in order to track patterns, predict the spread and the change of the many subtypes of HIV. Therefore, hospitals are able to create vaccines for this insufferable virus and many more illnesses. They are able to transfer these medicines on the cloud, and therefore also underprivileged people are in the position to be cured. As a result, humans live longer.

As we observed, AI is capable of great things but it also has led to manipulation. Current-ly the phenomenon Deep Fake Videos is being seen as one of the newest forms of digital media. The Deep Fake video is an ultra realistic fake video made with artificial intelligence software. With the help of this video people are able to ‘steal’ someone’s face by putting one person’s face on another person’s body while mimicking the source’s voice and gestures. This new way of communication is being used for political sabotage, propaganda but also to frame people for crimes.

Ecologically, the previous generations have left massive carbon footprints and a lot of was-te for our generation. Their efforts to live in a sustainable way did not improve our global ecosystem as much as they thought. This is the reason why the condition of our planet is in a critical state right now. Therefore the government decided to come up with extremely strict laws to avoid misbehaviour due to their subventions for farmers, to turn their production to a more sustainable level. And luckily this worked out, as 70% of the farm industry have vertical greenhouses nowadays. These eco-friendly houses are using AI algorithms to deter-mine the right amount of water, LED lights and nutrients.
