- The line between public and private has blurred in the past decade, both online and in real life, and Alessandro Acquisti is here to explain what this means and why it matters. In this thought-provoking, slightly chilling talk, he shares details of recent and ongoing research -- including a project that shows how easy it is to match a photograph of a stranger with their sensitive personal information.

Superb presentation. If only healthcare providers, medical doctors, nurses and hospital staff could view this to realize how careful they must be in protecting patient privacy! My step-father's example on my TH-cam channel should be a warning to everyone as his two 'before and after' photos (taken by his surgeon at the hospital) ended up on more than 100 websites around the world, in more than ten different languages and in more than 20 countries and more than 20 states in the USA! Have a look and see how it can happen in this digital age of ours! Imagine how the advanced face-recognition technology increases the dangers! Thanks Mr. Acquisti for an amazing presentation; I enjoyed every minute of it! All the best from Thailand!
Yes.The young especially but also some adults have not developed filters to realize when to speak and when to keep quiet.
We are all human so we all say stuff we later regret but when that kind of stuff can be transmitted world wide then we really might benefit from a rethink of our actions in relation to the environment we find ourselves in.
I think it is also a generational thing. Social sites like Facebook didn't exist until a few years before I graduated college, and was raised to be mindful of what I put in writing because it can always come back to bite you. But now there are kids as young as 9 spending time on line with games and chat rooms and they have no filters cause they are still young and growing.
Really good, unnerving, dystopian talk... As it should I guess about this topic... Weird how it hasn't gotten more views
If we use technology moderately, it will help us. If we over-use, it will affect us. That is the subject matter of this video. How we are slowly losing our privacy is the need-of-the-hour subject and it is told very succinctly here.
A very interesting talk. Thank you Mr. Acquisti.
I'm seriously thinking about taking my FB account off!!!! You might say, "you'll lose contact with your friends and family" - well, pick up the phone and call me, or let's meet up for coffee and actually have a proper conversation. We know everything about each other's lives, so when we do see each other, there is NOTHING to talk about - we would rather chat with friends on FB but we won't make an effort to meet up!!!
Everybodys fake
I think you just written the greatest come back in the history of mankind!!!!!
Was this not published quite a while ago. I was expecting an update from the notification yesterday, but it was the same video? Good video though, lots of interesting ideas that show all this technology is not going to help anyone to be happier or more human. The thing is that a future without secrets is not really true, it's a future in which reality will be manipulated to an extremely fine tuned, political and economic way.
Its a sense of false security. And just because someone is really well educated doesn't mean they can't do something stupid, since we all have those moments of "what was I thinking?" The younger generations are raised now with the access to instantly tweet or post what they are thinking, when I was a kid/teen you just told the people near you. Which means anything stupid or embarrassing was only heard ( and maybe told to) your peers and some neighbors, depending. Now it reaches thousands.
I`m getting Black Mirror vibes from this presentation.
Al fin alguien expone la realidad del Big data , me gusto mucho !
This guy has a great accent and a great vocabulary.
About time!!!
This is a good talk.
Before this TED Talk I found myself in a predicament: I found myself believing that privacy matters BUT also found myself lacking justification to assert that claim, so I rejected that notion. "I don't do anything bad, and in fact it may be beneficial for police reasons." I thought. But now I am reevaluating that statement. Privacy matters.
I agree! I had the same feelings until my european step-father found his 'before and after facelift' photos posted on the hospital's website and on 100 more websites around the world! So yes, privacy matters! Greetings from Thailand!
Do not confuse intelligence with education. They are vastly different things.
Amazing talk! Really interesting!
some random notes:
-in future, ads will be like Minority Report…except it’ll be a composite of our 2 best friends (why? because we won’t recognize the face, but we will like it due to its familiarity)
-study asked students if they’ve ever cheated on an exam; in one group they were told their response would only be shared with other students; in the second group they were told their response would be shared with faculty as well
-there was a lower response rate in the second group. but if there was a 15-second delay between notification (of who will see the response) and asking the question (have you cheated?), then the response rates were the same!

Viewers of this video should find "Gary Kovacs: Tracking the trackers" the other TED video from 2012 very interesting also.
Great Video, thank you
HW is this possible that in every TED comments you can find many spam and rude or negative comments like racist and fascist ones. This suppose to be constructive. But a thec/social/political research about freedom and privacy become insults based in religion and racism. Nice touch.
hes right, humanity started in Africa.
Great!
I couldnt understand the SSN part. How did they guess first 4 digit just by public information?
lol. keep following the herd. the world needs people like you.
Isn't it interesting how many of those historical paintings are similar to the cartoons which depict humans living side by side with dinosaurs?
I think this guys first name is awesome
Lol, immediately at the end of the video, captions appear saying: You may also like...
Now that's irony for you :)
It's true that environmental influence plays a role, but research indicates a genetic component to intelligence
People have a tendency to disclose information about themselves and often it is inappropriate information.Perhaps we could regulate ourselves a little more and start minding our own business before someone else starts minding it for us.
I was also confused by that.
The first 3 digits are based on area. The next two are based on a "group number". I'm not sure what that means, but if it's based on the time of issue then it can be guessed.
He said they correctly guessed the first 5 digits of people's SSN numbers 27% of the time with 4 attempts. That doesn't seem very accurate. I doubt it's much of a problem. He just wanted to scare people. I don't think he can get more accurate guesses.
Apparently since 2011 SSNs are random.
they adapted to the environment of africa and there skin absorbed so much heat over the 1000s of years that their skin turned to help deal with the amount of heat
kinda sounds like watch dogs, with the whole identify someone by a photo
My thoughts exactly! We are coming closer to an era I thought only video games could provide.
11:40 !!!
That was the same idea I had. From the "Out of Africa" human migration idea.
TELL THEM TRUTH MY BRATHA!! Good job:)
I had no idea that occurred.
Thank you for the answer. It seems like he is trying to use the same manipulation/marketing that he is speaking against :) . I guess that's the only way to get your point across in our times. I think we will adapt to all these privacy changes and it seems the system is starting to adapt too.
What would future look like without secrets ?
Internet privacy policy is to be defined more in detail.
Just a parenthesis: There is actually new evidence from not that long ago that suggests that our origin isn't Africa at all. Though I don't think they had enough proof to call it yet. If interested, you can probably google it easily.
Another parenthesis: even Christian scholars acknowledge that "Adam and Eve" wasn't white (light skin/blue eyes/etc). It's just a common (and quite ignorant, especially 2013) misconception.
Actually, that stimuli "can occasionally" come from other sources is wrong. That stimuli is most likely from any other sources besides school. School only teaches reading, writing, and math. Great thinkers including those who are creative, passionate, innovative, and leaders, often comes from external drives. Study anyone who's shaped history and often times they are called stupid, dropouts, socially awkward, or different. Often oppose by the academically "smart."
Those are the disposable one-use phones right? Yeah, maybe I should get on that.
This Italian guy Allessandro Acquisti is a whistle blower of sorts... letting people know what is possible and may be possible. The amplification of power which technology gives to man is something we should always be monitoring.. Hiroshima taught us that. Ed Snowden and the Guardian attempts to teach us again. Software is the new Manhattan project now that Big Data collection and storage is here, and much like with the Trinity Test, nobody knows what's going to happen.
I would be ok with not having privacy but there's just one little thing, I don't trust the people to whom my information goes to.
@Sam Hyde
That H. sapiens and Neanderthals are techically the same species is very much technically wrong.
To say they are is like saying a Coyote and Dog is the same species. Coyote and dogs both belong to the Canidae family but they are NOT the same species, and H. Sapiens and Neanderthals both belong to the Hominidae family but are NOT the same species.
Well I didn't say that nobody has better preconditions than someone else, what I said (in a hyperbolic manner) was that any human could become a great thinker. What I meant was that intrinsically dumb people are more rare than one might think.
correct
The caption is horrible in this one
Tor is pretty much useless now, governments own so many exit nodes and websites know when you're using it >.>.
True. And even before nourishment plays any role, there's genetics. Read the other answers to my comment.
You do realize his statement is backed up by tons of research done by scientists/archaeologists/etc across the world? Seriously, you can google "ancient humans in Africa" and find MANY, MANY different articles and reports on the topic by tons of different people, with the dug-up bones to prove it. It isn't a flat-out "lie", it's a valid claim and a valid possibility.
OK, maybe I homed in on the wrong thing....... Eve must have been on steroids :-)
Did you watch and actually understand the video?
MARKETING... amiright?
Why don't you point to the historical evidence then? Did Adam and Eve write about their lives in any book? What evidence did they leave about their existence? Or was this information transferred by word of mouth?
We shouldn't post our whole life online, for the whole world to see every little detail of our life!! Our childrens faces are WHO knows on what sick sites. Why does everyone need to know what we ate, or where did we party last Saturday!!
No matter where you go online to "be yourself", your personal data is sold and used; a clutter of uninteresting content is shoved in your face; and trolls force you to share less open than you would like to.

How protected: We do not use, collect, sell and share your information and content. You can also be anonymous or a guest. topishare.com/
And there is much more. You can read our business model in pages at the footer of the site if you don’t believe me.
I used to be a social media users and a social media marketer. I know how people are being used and manipulated by companies that control the content and our information. Topishare is transforming the social media world. We bring back the control to the users. The only reasons social networks are powerful is you and it's time to take the control back.
Take a look and let me know if you have any questions!
So, always wear a mask and never use FB.
"Did I ever telL you the story about cowboys and Indians? Wroom wroom! And Frontier psychiatrist!"
Actually Neanderthals are different from Homo sapiens, we are related to them but the humans today are and have never been Neanderthals.
More like both education and intelligence are useless without putting in the time and effort to develop that intelligence, to get a proper education not just barely pass exams and then to apply what you have learned.
Like this, but has no one noticed how dry this guys mouth is?
#StopDataRetention
Interesting reply, but this bloody phone app!
This could b used... By frontierpsychiatrist. Bit the deputy wwould come revenge the sheriff,.. As that story goes... N we'd have no use of any applyance on what we learned. Coz...
ならリプ
Why would such a thing interest you?
Wen I heard Adam and Eve I knew this guy wasint to be trusted
幅
Actually the better questions are: Why does it matter? and Who really cares except for racists?
Snow. oO
STOP YELLING.
THANK YOU!
Troll was successful.
google adam and eve. You'll find that all of the historical paintings portray them to be white.
WATCH DOGS
The right to be unhappy... *insert political joke here*
But a society and civilization is about people knowing and relating to and cooperating with other people ... if we all hide from each other we lose that, and small groups can move and act without anyone else knowing what they are doing ... like the .01% now who are running the government against our so-called democratic ideal.
Trollbait
Ahmen to nancy i wish i had like button to like ur comment
The better question is: Where did white people come from?
So the NSA will find out I'm a young, single guy who watches a lot of Minecraft videos. As for employment, I will always be able to find good work as long as I'm willing to travel. The only threat I perceive is what happens when adblockers stop working.
But the story of Adam n Eve is about shame. Privacy is about safety, security n avoiding personal harm.
You do realise that it's almost certain that Adam and Eve did not exist, at least in the way that people describe them. Right? And if they were real, how on Earth do we know the "portraits' are even accurate? To me, you don't seem all that knowledgeable sorry to say.
Great talk van Alessandro Acquisti die ongetwijfeld velen die m.b.t. privacy roepen "ik heb toch niets te verbergen" aan het denken zet.
Gezien en helemaal waar
He looks like Hugh Jackman with less/no hair......
He needs a drink of water
I'm curious how they find an american SSN using data from a facebook profile. In my country the first digits of, I guess our equivalent of the SSN is the sex and DOB which IMO is way to trivial to even mention, but the next numbers I think can only be found by using a public SSN database which officially does not exist or a SSN database that is stolen/copied & posted on the internet which unfortunately exists, only using the name and ( DOB or partial home address ) .
He forgot to mention what politicians and people or organizations of power could do as well to predict behavior and presume guilt of crimes, (stock) market "insider" level information and market manipulation, target dissidents and opposition.
They ignore how people can be victimized and controlled even more when we allow programs to be used by companies colluding with others and government, especially the monopolized ones the government loves to promote by help of regulations.
...So...privacy is important because an absence of it leads to employment discrimination and targeted ads? The former has been a problem as long as people have worked for one another, and the latter isn't a problem if you are critical about evaluating what that you need to buy, or just generally introspective. This was an interesting talk, but not a convincing one.
Actually I am not implying anything about religion at all, although I do think all current creation myths are BS. What I was implying was the fact we all started as black and white people came from the lack of sunlight when we moved north and out of africa.
I did not say that we should hide from each other.Perhaps if people listened to what others say rather than mindlessly twisting their words to suit their limited world views democracy would have stood a chance.
What do you mean with "neanderthal dna"? If you mean you share DNA with them then you are about 20-30% lettice, you share about 20-30% of your DNA with lettice and thats a fact. So what do you mean with that?
no it doesn't. way to judge a persons entire life off of 2 sentences.
no it doesn't. right or wrong there will always be people who side with you.
yeah, thanks for the heads up.
Exactly. "Humanity" started in Africa and nobody really knows what color it was. It damn sure wasn't black or white because there are no humans of either color.
I got close. I guessed ten seconds of a delay.
Are you going to tell us the earth is flat now and try to sound intelligent about it? lol.
Great talk. Disturbing that fewer than 69,000 people have seen this. Thought I was up to date, but just watched a TED talks on how the NSA can decrypt anything from a US manufacturer and the only option lies with open sourced programs.
Could you post the link for the above talk, please?
The content of the messages may be of interest, but the date, time, duration, place and frequency between communicators will do. We do profile enemies by multiple variables. Persons with the profile of a known enemy should be looked at. We already have an Artificial Intelligence (AI) program that reads "call detail reports" (CDR) from all communication companies. From passenger manifests and passports we also know place of birth, places visited, frequency, and duration of the visits. From the reports of overseas intelligence liaisons we know the whereabouts of travelers, associates, and family connections. From credit bureaus and banks we have much more. We are already collecting the information. Because of privacy concerns, we may be doing it from third party proxies. As long as there is a common data element, we may use a relational database system that does not need a gigantic flat file. We probably now have an AI program that accesses multiple databases and performs link analyses on an incredible amount of data for subsequent validation by human analysts. However, the effectiveness of the system may be degraded by political demagogy and concernes for the career preservation of a few who do not understand patriotism. Let's not worry about privacy. In today's world it does not exist. We have smart CCTV systems, etc. We may even have DNA databases that tell us what two persons met at a given place.
NSA's next target. How dare he educate the public of government wrong doing!
Just don't publish your face on any social network folks.
