Big data – why should we care?

In episode one Adah Parris explores the ethical principles of big data alongside Emma Prest, Executive Director of DataKind UK. They discuss why you should care about the way your information is used, how data can be used for social good and why the industry needs to change its ethics. Plus we hear the compelling story of peace activist Bjorn Ihler, whose life-changing escape from a terror attack led him to join the fight against violent radicalism, through tech.
