New technologies have the potential to influence society in positive and negative ways. This article explores the possible impact of fast-growing, information-related technologies, such as big data analysis and machine learning, on our privacy and the future of our society and discusses methods to protect against malicious actors. The article ends with a call for action for regulations that need to be made and tools that need to be developed to help to impose them.
