Chronically Online: Can Algorithms Predict Human Behaviour? | DISPATCH | Tech & Data HD Documentary

In the last few years, the data stream flowing through the internet has turned into a tsunami: Ninety percent of the information sitting on the world’s servers was created in the last two years. This total digitization opens up completely new possibilities. Suddenly, our entire lives can be modelled mathematically – and become predictable. We show how predictive analytics is being used today and ask how our lives will change if our future becomes computable.

This documentary was produced by A&O Buero and directed by JAKOB KNESER. It was first released in 2015.
