Social media firms claim they're just trying to build communities and connect the world and that they need ad revenues to remain free. But nothing is really free. For them, more views mean more money and so they've optimized their algorithms to maximize engagement. Views are the algorithms' "reward function" -- the more views the algorithms can attract to the platform the better. When an algorithm promotes a given post and sees an upsurge of views, it will double down on the strategy, selectively timing, targeting and pushing posts in ways that it has found will stimulate further sharing, a process called reinforcement learning.

Facial recognition isn't the only scary thing bad actors and governments can use computer recognition for. What if an AI could watch a video of us tapping on our touchscreen phones and infer exactly what app we're using and what we're typing? Modern computer vision techniques have the ability to imbue us with the kind of technological super powers typically only seen in the movies. We can load video into an AI system and tell it to zoom in on a low-resolution frame and, with a little training and some clever algorithms, we can make it "enhance" the image. That might not sound very nefarious, but the same technology Tesla uses in its driver-assistance features could be adapted for myriad purposes.
