> The real value of privacy has to do with freedom, manipulation and surveillance, and that is not represented by economic measures at all Privacy is not the only issue. Using user data for ad targeting is the past/present. The future is using users to train AI. Facial recognition in photos is a good example of this. Facebook has the most advanced facial recognition in the world because they got millions (billions?) of hours of free labor from their users classifying photos. Amazon Echo is doing the same thing with speech recognition. Cloud based AI platforms capture the data from engineers training AI algorithms and the goal is to use that data to train an AI to replace the engineers. Not only are people being duped into giving away their labor for free but they are increasingly being used to train the AIs that are going to replace their jobs.
