The world's most valuable tech companies profit from the personal data you generate. So why aren't you getting paid for it? In this eye-opening talk, entrepreneur and technologist Jennifer Zhu Scott makes the case for private data ownership -- which would empower you to donate, destroy or sell your data as you see fit -- and shows how this growing movement could put power (and cash) back into the hands of people.

Why you should get paid for your data
概説：

The world's most valuable tech companies profit from the personal data you generate. So why aren't you getting paid for it? In this eye-opening talk, entrepreneur and technologist Jennifer Zhu Scott makes the case for private data ownership -- which would empower you to donate, destroy or sell your data as you see fit -- and shows how this growing movement could put power (and cash) back into the hands of people.

I grew up in the late '70s in rural China
5245 0:05 - 0:10

during the final years of my country's
pursuit of absolute equality
9834 0:10 - 0:12

at the expense of liberty.
12870 0:13 - 0:15

At that time, everybody had a job,
15218 0:15 - 0:17

but everyone was struggling.
17312 0:17 - 0:20

In the early '80s,
my dad was an electrician,
20212 0:20 - 0:23

and my mom worked two shifts
in the local hospital.
23790 0:24 - 0:27

But still, we didn't have enough food,
26754 0:27 - 0:29

and our living conditions were dismal.
29095 0:29 - 0:31

We were undoubtedly equal --
31110 0:31 - 0:33

we were equally poor.
33114 0:33 - 0:35

The state owned everything.
35146 0:35 - 0:37

We owned nothing.
37309 0:37 - 0:41

The story I'm going to share with you
is about my struggles
41005 0:41 - 0:43

of overcoming adversity
43229 0:43 - 0:48

with my resilience, grit
and sheer determination.
49151 0:49 - 0:52

No, I'm just kidding,
I'm not going to do that to you.
51701 0:52 - 0:54

(Laughter)
¶
54094 0:54 - 0:58

Instead, I'm going to tell you,
¶
58068 0:58 - 1:02

what I'm going to talk about today
is about a new form of collective poverty
62238 1:02 - 1:04

that many of us don't recognize
64191 1:04 - 1:06

and that urgently needs to be understood.
66822 1:07 - 1:09

I'm sure you've noticed
that in the past 20 years,
¶
69304 1:09 - 1:11

that asset has emerged.
71104 1:11 - 1:15

It's been generating wealth
at a breakneck pace.
74586 1:15 - 1:19

As a tool, it has brought businesses
deep customer insights,
78687 1:19 - 1:20

operational efficiency
80349 1:20 - 1:23

and enormous top-line growth.
83018 1:23 - 1:25

But for some,
84670 1:25 - 1:29

it has also provided a device
to manipulate a democratic election
89491 1:29 - 1:35

or perform surveillance
for profit or political purposes.
95287 1:35 - 1:37

What is this miracle asset?
97357 1:37 - 1:39

You've guessed it: it's data.
100308 1:40 - 1:45

Seven out of the top 10 most valuable
companies in the world are tech companies
¶
104898 1:45 - 1:48

that either directly generate
profit from data
107889 1:48 - 1:50

or are empowered by data from the core.
111352 1:51 - 1:53

Multiple surveys show
112641 1:53 - 1:55

that the vast majority
of business decision makers
115151 1:55 - 1:59

regard data as an essential
asset for success.
118546 1:59 - 2:04

We have all experienced how data
is shifting this major paradigm shift
124508 2:05 - 2:08

for our personal, economic
and political lives.
128764 2:09 - 2:11

Whoever owns the data owns the future.
131553 2:12 - 2:13

But who's producing the data?
¶
134004 2:14 - 2:17

I assume everyone in this room
has a smartphone,
136992 2:17 - 2:18

several social media accounts
138508 2:19 - 2:21

and has done a Google search
or two in the past week.
141966 2:22 - 2:24

We are all producing data. Yes.
144948 2:25 - 2:28

It is estimated that by 2030,
10 years from now,
¶
148380 2:28 - 2:33

there will be about 125 billion
connected devices in the world.
152603 2:33 - 2:37

That's an average of about
15 devices per person.
157511 2:38 - 2:40

We are already producing data every day.
159562 2:40 - 2:43

We'll be producing exponentially more.
163529 2:44 - 2:48

Google, Facebook and Tencent's
combined revenue in 2018
167564 2:48 - 2:51

was 236 billion US dollars.
170872 2:51 - 2:53

Now, how many of you
have received payment from them
173433 2:53 - 2:55

for the data you generate for them?
175165 2:55 - 2:57

None, right?
176570 2:57 - 3:01

Data has immense value
but is centrally controlled and owned.
180555 3:01 - 3:05

You are all walking raw materials
for those large data companies,
185442 3:05 - 3:07

but none of you are paid.
187703 3:08 - 3:09

Not only that,
¶
188900 3:09 - 3:13

you're not even considered
as part of this equation for income.
193651 3:14 - 3:15

So once again,
195368 3:15 - 3:17

we are undoubtedly equal:
197129 3:17 - 3:19

we're equally poor.
199004 3:19 - 3:22

Somebody else owns everything,
and we own nothing.
202067 3:22 - 3:24

Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
204747 3:25 - 3:26

So what should we do?
¶
206158 3:26 - 3:29

There might be some clues
in how my life turned out
208595 3:29 - 3:30

after that difficult start.
209957 3:30 - 3:32

Things began to look up
for my family in the '80s.
212400 3:32 - 3:34

The system evolved,
213903 3:34 - 3:38

and people began to be allowed
to own a piece of what we created.
218118 3:38 - 3:40

"People diving into the ocean,"
219860 3:40 - 3:42

or "xia hai," the Chinese term,
222232 3:42 - 3:46

described those who left
state-owned enterprise jobs
225555 3:46 - 3:47

and started their own businesses.
227814 3:48 - 3:50

Private ownership of a business
229825 3:50 - 3:53

became personal ownership of cars,
232929 3:53 - 3:56

properties, food, clothes and things.
236390 3:56 - 3:59

The economic machine started rolling,
239285 3:59 - 4:01

and people's lives began to improve.
241509 4:02 - 4:03

For the first time,
242777 4:03 - 4:05

to get rich was glorious.
245409 4:05 - 4:10

So in the '90s, when I went
to study in Chengdu in west China,
250496 4:10 - 4:12

many young individuals like myself
252148 4:12 - 4:15

were well-positioned
to take advantage of the new system.
255330 4:15 - 4:18

After I graduated from my university,
258058 4:18 - 4:21

I cofounded my first business
and moved to Shenzhen,
261265 4:21 - 4:26

the brand-new special economic zone
that used to be a fishing village.
265768 4:26 - 4:27

Twenty years later,
266961 4:27 - 4:31

Shenzhen has become
a global innovation powerhouse.
272667 4:33 - 4:37

Private ownership was a form of liberty
we didn't have before.
¶
277276 4:37 - 4:42

It created unprecedented opportunities
for our generations,
282223 4:42 - 4:46

motivating us to work
and study incredibly hard.
286317 4:46 - 4:52

The result was that more than
850 million people rose out of poverty.
292227 4:52 - 4:54

According to the World Bank,
294219 4:54 - 5:01

China's extreme poverty rate in 1981,
when I was a little kid, was 88 percent.
300604 5:01 - 5:04

By 2015, 0.7 percent.
304832 5:05 - 5:07

I am a product of that success,
306600 5:07 - 5:11

and I am very happy to share that today,
I have my own AI business,
310716 5:11 - 5:13

and I lead a very worldly
and dynamic life,
313438 5:13 - 5:17

a path that was unimaginable
when I was a kid in west China.
318252 5:18 - 5:22

Of course, this prosperity
came with a trade-off,
¶
322120 5:22 - 5:27

with equality,
the environment and freedom.
326534 5:27 - 5:30

And obviously I'm not here to argue
that China has it all figured out.
330291 5:30 - 5:31

We haven't.
331521 5:32 - 5:36

Nor that data is fully comparable
to physical assets.
335731 5:36 - 5:37

It is not.
337726 5:38 - 5:43

But my life experience allowed me
to see what's hiding in plain sight.
342733 5:43 - 5:44

Currently, the public discourse
344352 5:44 - 5:48

is so focused on the regulatory
and privacy issue
348383 5:48 - 5:50

when it comes to data ownership.
350138 5:50 - 5:52

But I want to ask:
351837 5:52 - 5:55

What if we look at data ownership
in completely different ways?
355561 5:56 - 5:58

What if data ownership is, in fact,
358240 5:58 - 6:03

a personal, individual and economic issue?
363183 6:03 - 6:06

What if, in the new digital economy,
365561 6:06 - 6:09

we are allowed to own
a piece of what we create
368641 6:09 - 6:13

and give people the liberty
of private data ownership?
374111 6:14 - 6:18

The legal concept of ownership
is when you can possess,
¶
378337 6:18 - 6:23

use, gift, pass on, destroy
382672 6:23 - 6:27

or trade it or sell your asset
386609 6:27 - 6:29

at a price accepted by you.
389446 6:29 - 6:34

What if we give that same definition
to individuals' data,
393569 6:34 - 6:37

so individuals can use or destroy our data
397051 6:37 - 6:40

or we trade it at our chosen price?
400013 6:40 - 6:42

Now, I know some of you might say,
¶
401711 6:42 - 6:45

"I would never, ever trade my data
for any amount of money."
405163 6:45 - 6:48

But that, let me remind you,
is exactly what you're doing now,
408472 6:48 - 6:51

except you're giving
your data away for free.
411576 6:52 - 6:56

Plus, privacy is a very personal
and nuanced issue.
415642 6:56 - 7:00

You might have the privilege
to prioritize your privacy over money,
420057 7:00 - 7:03

but for millions of small
business owners in China
423102 7:03 - 7:05

who can't get bank loans easily,
425465 7:05 - 7:10

using their data to gain rapid loan
approval from AI-powered lenders
430252 7:10 - 7:12

can answer their more pressing needs.
432867 7:13 - 7:14

What's private to you
434295 7:14 - 7:17

is different from
what's private to others.
437051 7:17 - 7:19

What's private to you now
439516 7:20 - 7:23

is different from what was private
when you were in college.
443065 7:23 - 7:24

Or, at least, I hope so.
444487 7:24 - 7:26

(Laughter)
¶
446428 7:26 - 7:31

We are always,
although often subconsciously,
¶
450653 7:31 - 7:32

making such trade-offs
452021 7:32 - 7:36

based on our diverse personal beliefs
and life priorities.
456096 7:36 - 7:40

That is why data ownership
would be incomplete
460041 7:40 - 7:42

without a pricing power.
462665 7:43 - 7:45

By assigning pricing power to individuals,
¶
465359 7:45 - 7:50

we gain a tool to reflect
our personal and nuanced preferences.
469614 7:50 - 7:53

So, for example, you could choose
to donate your data for free
473077 7:53 - 7:57

if a contribution
to a particular medical research
476746 7:57 - 7:59

is very meaningful for you.
479068 7:59 - 8:02

Or, if we had the tools
to set our behavior data
482030 8:02 - 8:05

at a price of, say,
100,000 US dollars,
485337 8:05 - 8:08

I doubt any political group
would be able to target
487791 8:08 - 8:10

or manipulate your vote.
490131 8:10 - 8:12

You control. You decide.
493403 8:13 - 8:16

Now, I know this sounds
probably implausible,
¶
495974 8:16 - 8:18

but trends are already pointing to
497678 8:18 - 8:22

a growing and very powerful
individual data ownership movement.
502483 8:22 - 8:25

First, start-ups
are already creating tools
504971 8:25 - 8:27

to allow us to take back some control.
507361 8:27 - 8:30

A new browser called Brave
510458 8:30 - 8:34

empowers users with "Brave Shields" --
they literally call it that --
513994 8:34 - 8:39

by aggressively blocking
data-grabbing ads and trackers,
519019 8:39 - 8:42

and avoid leaking data
like other browsers.
521527 8:42 - 8:46

In return, users can take back
some bargaining and pricing power.
526494 8:46 - 8:50

When users opt in to accept ads,
529728 8:50 - 8:53

Brave rewards users
with "basic attention tokens"
533129 8:53 - 8:57

that can redeem content
behind paywalls from publishers.
538686 8:59 - 9:01

And I've been using Brave
for a few months.
540763 9:01 - 9:05

It has already blocked
more than 200,000 ads and trackers
544739 9:05 - 9:07

and saved hours of my time.
547695 9:08 - 9:10

Now, I know some of you
interact with your browser
550344 9:10 - 9:13

more than with your partners, so --
552584 9:13 - 9:14

(Laughter)
¶
553648 9:14 - 9:18

you should at least find one that doesn't
waste your time and is not creepy.
558325 9:18 - 9:20

(Laughter)
¶
562110 9:22 - 9:25

Do you think Google is indispensable?
¶
565351 9:25 - 9:27

Think again.
566631 9:27 - 9:30

A search engine is indispensable.
569674 9:30 - 9:31

Google just has the monopoly --
571367 9:31 - 9:33

for now.
572544 9:33 - 9:37

A search engine called DuckDuckGo
doesn't store your personal information
576758 9:37 - 9:38

or follow you around with ads
578301 9:38 - 9:41

or track your personal browsing history.
580984 9:41 - 9:44

Instead, it gives all users
the same search results
583820 9:44 - 9:48

instead of based on
your personal browsing records.
588565 9:49 - 9:51

In London, a company called digi.me
¶
591363 9:51 - 9:54

offers an app you can download
on your smartphone
594265 9:54 - 9:59

that helps to import and consolidate
your data generated by you
599031 9:59 - 10:01

from your Fitbit, Spotify,
601236 10:01 - 10:03

social media accounts ...
603405 10:03 - 10:06

And you can choose
where to store your data,
606439 10:06 - 10:11

and digi.me will help you
to make your data work for you
610806 10:11 - 10:14

by providing insights that used
to be exclusively accessible
613991 10:14 - 10:16

by large data companies.
616584 10:17 - 10:21

In DC, a new initiative
called UBDI, U-B-D-I,
¶
621505 10:22 - 10:24

Universal Basic Data Income,
623946 10:24 - 10:26

helps people to make money
625959 10:26 - 10:30

by sharing anonymous insights
through their data
630002 10:30 - 10:33

for companies that can use them
for market research.
633562 10:34 - 10:36

And whenever a company purchases a study,
636381 10:36 - 10:40

users get paid in cash and UBDI points
to track their contribution,
640493 10:40 - 10:44

potentially as much
as 1,000 US dollars per year
643663 10:44 - 10:46

per their estimation.
647420 10:47 - 10:51

UBDI could be a very feasible path
for universal basic income
651329 10:51 - 10:53

in the AI economy.
653642 10:54 - 10:59

Further, individual awareness
of privacy and data ownership
¶
659403 10:59 - 11:01

is growing fast
661424 11:01 - 11:06

as we all become aware of this monster
we have unleashed in our pocket.
666684 11:07 - 11:09

I'm a mother of two preteen girls,
669174 11:09 - 11:11

and trust me,
670793 11:11 - 11:16

the single biggest source of stress
and anxiety as a parent,
676012 11:16 - 11:20

for me, is my children's
relationship with technology.
681161 11:21 - 11:25

This is a three-page agreement
my husband and I make them sign
685024 11:25 - 11:27

before they receive
their first [mobile phone].
687325 11:27 - 11:29

(Laughter)
¶
689619 11:30 - 11:32

We want to help them to become
¶
693191 11:33 - 11:36

digital citizens,
695796 11:36 - 11:41

but only if we can make them
become smart and responsible ones.
701513 11:42 - 11:46

I help them to understand
what kind of data should never be shared.
706931 11:47 - 11:48

So if you Google me,
708524 11:49 - 11:52

in fact -- actually, sorry --
if you DuckDuckGo me,
712013 11:52 - 11:55

you will find maybe a lot
about me and my work,
715317 11:55 - 11:58

but you may find no information
about my daughters.
718710 11:59 - 12:00

When they grow up,
719889 12:00 - 12:03

if they want to put themselves out there,
it's their choice, not mine,
723211 12:03 - 12:06

despite that I insist
they're the most beautiful,
725810 12:06 - 12:10

smartest and most extraordinary
kids in the world, of course.
731474 12:11 - 12:14

And I know many people
are having similar conversations
734241 12:14 - 12:16

and making similar decisions,
736038 12:16 - 12:17

which gives me hope
737355 12:17 - 12:20

that a truly smart data-rich future
will be here soon.
741592 12:22 - 12:25

But I want to highlight
the Clause 6 of this agreement.
¶
745000 12:25 - 12:29

It says, "I will never, ever search
for any information online
748658 12:29 - 12:32

if I would be embarrassed
if seen by Grandma Dawnie."
752145 12:32 - 12:33

(Laughter)

Try it. It's really effective.

Throughout history,
¶
759573 12:40 - 12:46

there has always been a trade-off
between liberty and equality
765612 12:46 - 12:48

in the pursuit of prosperity.
768657 12:49 - 12:55

The world has constantly been going
through the circle of wealth accumulation
775047 12:55 - 12:57

to wealth redistribution.
777555 12:58 - 13:01

As the tension between
the haves and have-nots
780697 13:01 - 13:03

is breaking so many countries,
782916 13:03 - 13:05

it is in everyone's interest,
785351 13:05 - 13:08

including the large data companies,
787875 13:08 - 13:11

to prevent this new form of inequality.
791997 13:12 - 13:17

Of course, individual data ownership
is not the perfect nor the complete answer
¶
797325 13:17 - 13:20

to this profoundly complex question
799770 13:20 - 13:24

of what makes a good digital society.
804991 13:25 - 13:27

But according to McKinsey,
808321 13:28 - 13:34

AI will add 13 trillion US dollars
of economic output in the next 10 years.
814883 13:35 - 13:38

Data generated by individuals
will no doubt contribute
818120 13:38 - 13:41

to this enormous growth.
821716 13:42 - 13:45

Shouldn't we at least consider
an economic model
824686 13:45 - 13:47

that empowers the people?
827055 13:47 - 13:52

And if private ownership helped
to lift more than 850 million people
831778 13:52 - 13:54

out of poverty,
833730 13:54 - 13:56

it is our duty
835751 13:56 - 13:59

and we owe it to future generations
838819 13:59 - 14:02

to create a more inclusive AI economy
842359 14:02 - 14:07

that will empower the people
in addition to businesses.
846806 14:07 - 14:08

Thank you.
