The Data Diva E137 - Louis Rosenberg and Debbie Reynolds

Send us Fan MailDebbie Reynolds, "The Data Diva" talks to Unanimous AI's CEO, Louis Rosenberg. We discuss his 30-plus-year career in AI, Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Virtual Reality (VR), his work on early spatial systems, his work with the US Air Force, NASA, and our mutual collaboration with XRSI. We also discuss the dangers of AI-generated content and conversational advertising, which can be tailored to individuals and become more persuasive over time. They also discussed the potential for AI to become sentient and have a will of its own, though this is not a current risk. AI agents have the potential to be extremely manipulative when it comes to collecting data and influencing people, especially when used in immersive worlds like XR. They can track and store data about people's behavior and emotions and use AI to create models that predict how people behave and feel in different situations. This could create a persuasive influence that crosses the line from marketing to manipulation. Louis discusses the need for an agency to oversee AI technology, the dangers of AI-driven influence, and the need for transparency and strict rules around storing behavioral and emotional data. He also highlighted the potential for AI to manipulate people, particularly children, and the need for regulation to prevent this and hope for Data Privacy in the future.By popular demand, Debbie Reynolds Consulting is now offering executive briefings on emerging data privacy risks and how companies can avoid them.
