Description

Now available at https://amzn.to/44GLDWE. In this episode of Tech Reads, we discuss Tom Kemp's new book which exposes the consequences of Big Tech's digital surveillance, exploitative use of AI, and monopolistic and anticompetitive practices. Tom offers actionable solutions to these problems and a clear path forward for individuals and policymakers to advocate for change. By containing the excesses of Big Tech, we will ensure our civil rights are respected and preserved, our economy is competitive, and our democracy is protected. Coming from an extensive background building Silicon Valley-based tech startups, Tom Kemp eloquently and precisely weaves together the threats posed by Big Tech:

  • the overcollection and weaponization of our most sensitive data

  • the problematic ways Big Tech uses AI to process and act upon our data

  • the stifling of competition and entrepreneurship due to Big Tech's dominant market position
