For those who are seriously concerned that Facebook is too deeply into people's lives, recent comments Mark Zuckerberg made at Harvard should be a Wake-up call. During the nearly two-hour interview with a Professor from the law school of Harvard University Jonathan Zittrain, which was conducted in front of cameras and audiences students, the CEO of Facebook appeared cameras on almost all sides. Responding to claims for ethnic cleansing and censorship in the company and on the platform, Zuckerberg said that he has not asked for such a big responsibility. Yes and no, would not, he said.
"If I was a different person that I would want from a CEO?", he asked a question himself. "I wouldn't want to make so many decisions on the subject of content was concentrated in the hands of any private person."
Instead, Facebook will create your Supreme court, he said Zittrain, external Commission that will be tasked to solve acute questions on what is happening on the platform. "I can't decide which refutes their opinion," mark promised.
After the data breach that Facebook kept those who wished Him evil, openly expressing their thoughts in social networks.
It Seemed that everything was going according to plan. Zuckerberg showed the long-awaited humility concerning himself and his company. But then he described something that really bothered him — and the ugly hubris of Silicon valley again turned face down.
It Turns out that Facebook is developing a brain-computer interface, a promising new technology. The idea is to allow people to intuitively and the power of thought to navigate the augmented reality neurotransmi version of the world, the mirror world . No printing, no conversation, nothing should distract you from interacting with the digital additions to the landscape: navigation instructions will be displayed directly on the freeway; a small biography will float next to the conference; three-dimensional models of furniture will surround you while moving around the apartment.
theThe Audience of Harvard was a little taken aback by this turn of conversation. Zittrain even joked on the subject that everyone will have the constitutional right to remain silent in the presence of the technology of listening in on thoughts. But here works have already verified security to large technology companies from criticism for violating users ' privacy: the consent of the users. "Presumably," said Zuckerberg, "it would be something that someone will choose to use as a product".
In Short, Zuckerberg has not abandoned its mission to connect people around the world for fun and profit. As the grim images of the police, probing the brain. And even apologizes in advance. "I don't know how we got here", he cheerfully announced he, "but I'm a little aware of the future technologies and research, they are very interesting."
Of Course, Facebook already follows the people when they travel around the world, using GPS and a smartphone in your pocket, and just tracks their online activities. Are we going to allow Facebook to penetrate our bodies are perishable, so we can order a pizza faster and with lots of toppings? Zuckerberg definitely counting on it.
Frankly, Facebook is not planning to enter the brain. First, the surgical implant according to Zuckerberg, will not be to scale: "If you're actually trying to create something that will use each, you need to pay attention to non-invasive things."
Technology, which was described by Zuckerberg, is a device similar to a swimming cap. It surrounds the brain and detects relationships between certain thoughts and certain currents of the blood or the activity of the brain, presumably to assist the work of points or a set of production Oculus VR, which is part of Facebook. According to Zuckerberg, scientists can discern when a person thinks about the giraffe or the elephant, based on neural activity. Printing the power of thought will work on the same principles.
As with many innovations Facebook, Zuckerberg sees in brain-computer interface, anything that violate the integrity of the individual — what Louis Brandeis defined the "right to be left alone" in my thoughts. On the contrary, sees that this technology will extend human capabilities. "The way our phones work today, all of the computing systems organized around applications and tasks, are fundamentally different from how our brains work and how we perceive the world," said mark. "It's one of the reasons why I'm just in awe of the long-term development like augmented reality is because it will give us a platform that will actually be similar to the way we think about different things".
In augmented reality will make more sense when the "smart" version will be on top everyday. "The watch will detect the chairs; the chairs will detect the spreadsheet; points will find the watch even under the sleeve; the tablet will see the inside of the turbine; the turbine will see workers around." Suddenly our surroundings, natural and artificial, will work as a single unit. With the exception of people with their closed thoughts and desires. But then they put glasses brain-computer interfaces.
Zuckerberg explained the potential advantages of this technology are the same as when announcedresearch Facebook in 2017: "Our brain produces enough data to stream four HD movies every second. The problem is that the best way to transfer information in the world — it — can transfer as much data as the modem of the 1980s. We are working on a system that will allow you to print text directly from your brain five times faster than you can print on the phone today. Ultimately, we want to turn this into a wearable technology that can produce large-scale. Even a simple "Yes/no" in the head could make the nature of augmented reality is much more natural."
Well, as you like the idea of Zuckerberg or he? Go to discuss .
