The concept of privacy has drastically eroded over the past 30 years. The internet made our personal data more accessible than ever, but the most alarming development yet? Even your own face is no longer private. This week, Adam sits down with Kashmir Hill, New York Times reporter and author of Your Face Belongs to Us: A Tale of AI, a Secretive Startup, and the End of Privacy, to discuss how companies are exploiting our most personal information—including our very identities—for profit, and what that means for the future of privacy. Find Kashmir’s book at http://www.factuallypod.com/books.
