Alex Pentland, who directs the Connection Science and Human Dynamics labs at MIT, has been called “one of the seven most powerful data scientists in the world” by Forbes magazine. Now, he’s taking on what he considers the “one thing” that needs to change in our country: our tribal disconnection. Listen in to hear Pentland’s vision for something he calls “HumanAI”; along the way, he explains why org charts are useless, why where you buy your morning coffee matters, and most importantly, how we can all reclaim a bit of our precious digital privacy. Future Human is a presentation of Nokia Bell Labs, produced by Audiation.fm.
