Artificial intelligence will someday know you better than you know yourself. That day may be sooner than we realize with the amount of data collected on all humans and their environments increasing exponentially. So where are the rules, and what are our rights? Over the past few centuries, data has been collected at high levels: primarily on companies, countries, societies, cultures, religions and other high-level aggregations. With the data age in full swing, we are delving into the frontier of individual data--a level previously unreached in terms of deeply knowing and connecting humans.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been around for a long time and people are still waiting for the first C-3PO (a talking robot from Star Trek) to be released. Looking at the money big tech companies and venture capitalists are pouring into the sector, AI is making huge progress, although the investors are looking for different things than a talking robot. "In the long run, I think we will evolve in computing from a mobile-first to an AI-first world. And I do think we're at the forefront of developments," said Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, Inc. on an earnings call with investors in April. Google is the most active investor in AI with 9 acquisitions completed since 2011.
