Nodestar: Turning Networks into Knowledge w/ Andrew Trask

Nodestar: Turning Networks into Knowledge w/ Andrew Trask

What if you could listen to multiple people at once, and actually understand them?

More like this: **The Age of Noise w/ Eryk Salvaggio**

In our final instalment (for now!) of Nodestar, Andrew Trask shares his vision for a world where we can assembly understanding from data everywhere. But not in a way that requires corporate control of our world.

If broadcasting is the act of talking to multiple people at once — what about broad listening? Where you listen to multiple sources of information, and actually learn something, without trampling over the control that individuals have over who sees what, when.

Andrew says that broad listening is difficult to achieve because of three huge problems: information overload, privacy, and veracity — and we are outsourcing these problems to central authorities, who abuse their power in deciding how to relay information to the public. What is Andrew doing at OpenMined to remedy this? Building protocols that decentralise access to training data for model development, obviously.
