Abstract
Let’s have fun with claims or questions that we may hear repeatedly. What would you say?
- Tech, ML, AI … destroy jobs. (No)
- Regulation, privacy laws … hinder innovation. (No)
- We have to get tracked for personal information in exchange for free services. (No)
- Better data [exchange] will reduce health cost [will do xyz]. (No)
- [Social media] You are not the customer. You are the product. (No)
- Data are the new gold [oil]. (No)
But wait: wouldn’t “it depends” be a prudent answer? Let’s discuss.
