Is Palantir Building a Data Big Brother?

Shira Frankel: 我认为政府正在积极地推动数据整合，而Palantir在其中扮演了关键角色。通过将各个政府部门的数据集中到一个地方，Palantir的技术使得数据分析和利用变得更加高效。然而，这种整合也引发了对隐私的担忧。我担心，一旦数据被集中，政府可能会利用这些数据进行超出原有目的的活动，例如追踪和移除无证移民。我亲眼看到Palantir的员工们对公司参与这些项目表示担忧，他们担心这会损害公司的声誉，甚至被用于政治目的。我们必须认真思考如何平衡数据利用与隐私保护，确保技术不会被滥用。 Lizzie O'Leary: 我理解您对数据整合的担忧。如果政府掌握了我们所有的信息，包括社会安全号码、家庭住址、学生贷款信息以及家庭成员的健康历史，这确实让人感到不安。如果政府滥用这些数据，可能会对个人自由和隐私造成威胁。我们需要确保政府在使用这些数据时保持透明和负责任，并建立有效的监督机制，防止数据被滥用。如果人们觉得一切都做得对，为什么还要担心政府掌握他们的信息呢？

One of the goals of DOGE was to get rid of the “silos” that keep government agencies from sharing freely amongst themselves efficiently and instead organize data using tools offered by companies like Palantir. The thing is, a lot of those silos are there by design, and removing them could be a nightmare for privacy advocates.

Guest: Sheera Frenkel), tech reporter for the New York Times.
