What if your smartphone thinks you're depressed?! David and Joe discuss digital phenotyping! - a podcast by Funny as Tech

A tech ethicist & comedian tackle the human side of tech.

In this episode, David Ryan Polgar (tech ethicist) and Joe Leonardo (UCB comedian) discuss the thorny emerging tech issue of digital phenotyping! Digital phenotyping is analyzing HOW you use your digital device (speech patterns, volume of texts, pattern changes, how your scroll) to make correlations to depression, suicidality, and more.

Is digital phenotyping a canary in the smartphone?! Or is it prone to dangerous false positives?! What about our expectation of privacy? How will this be used with teens?! Does this impact our freedom of mind?! Does this known surveillance alter the underlying behavior?!
