Surveillance in the Bay Area and beyond with Nidhi Sinha
Description
Growing up in the Bay area with a future drawn for her, Nidhi Sinha did everything she was supposed to do: go to a private high school, pursue a degree in Computer Science and Mathematics, and work at a Big Tech company in the Bay. Until she got into AI ethics and burst the bubble she had grown in. What happens when surveillance happens in your own backyard, and the Big Tech companies you were told to reach for growing up are responsible for the harm of communities locally and beyond borders?
Nidhi decided to get involved at CAIDP, at the Citizens Privacy Coalition, and recently to direct her first documentary on surveillance and privacy rights in the Bay area. In this episode, she talks about how Big Tech has impacted local Bay Area life, the growing wealth gap in the region, the extent of surveillance and most importantly what we can do to resist and fight back.
