Weaver added that most Americans do not realize that their own devices are spying on them and providing AI with the information it needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Your smart devices at your home \u2013 your TVs, smart TVs, cell phones, computers \u2013 all of those devices are capable of listening to your audio conversations. When you\u2019re speaking near your devices, they can track your data [and] your locations<\/em>,\u201d she explained. \u201c<em>Everything you\u2019re doing right now is actually being tracked, stored, bought and sold. That data is very, very valuable<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Weaver expressed concern over the amount of knowledge tech companies have about people. She added that these firms are studying people, citing one research endeavor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>There was actually a psychological study that was conducted on Facebook, and they targeted 700,000 user accounts. What they were doing was they targeted them with malefic content and posts in their social media feeds<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Weaver, Americans are aware of who has the power and control over these Big Tech firms. Most of them, she remarked, are left-leaning Silicon Valley tyrants who want to censor speech. These companies have the AI on their fingertips, and will not hesitate to weaponize this technology.<\/p>\n<p>Weaver mentioned that her latest documentary titled <em>Big Data is Watching You<\/em> will tackle a lot about AI. Among the topics it will touch on is the use of sophisticated targeting technology, which was originally developed by the military for their drone programs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weaver proposes simple solutions to combat the rise of AI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In spite of the dangers that AI poses, Weaver mentioned simple solutions to push back against it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>This is the funny part: It\u2019s like this big, huge monster coming at us. But all we have to do is unplug its access to our data and it will crumble<\/em>,\u201d she told Santilli.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>It\u2019s feeding on our data. It\u2019s learning about us through our data. The second we cut off the data, it\u2019s not going to have any new input [and] any new elements to learn. And at that point, it\u2019s going to be harder for it to try to be used to control us<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Weaver, a former reporter, remarked that people are unknowingly walking into a trap by feeding the Big Data systems that run the AI and are now going to be used to enslave and control people.<\/p>\n<p>She ultimately remarked: \u201c<em>If we really want to go after AI, we actually have to go after Big Data and protect our privacy.
