1135: Sandra Matz | How Algorithms Read and Reveal the Real You

I think of myself as this holistic person that's impulsive and maybe a little bit neurotic and curious. And I think once you told the public that there's a company that can predict what's whether you are emotionally volatile or whether you might be introverted, outgoing. I think that's what resonated with people. So do I think that they won the election by doing this magical brainwashing?

Probably not. Could something like psychological targeting swing an election when they're on the margins? Probably yes. Do we need psychology for that? Again, not entirely sure because you can make very similar predictions with kind of skipping that step.

Yeah, it's something that I've been super intrigued by. And who knows if it's going to plan out. But I always think of it as a technology, right? The technology at the core is trying to say, can I understand where you're coming from? Here's your point of view. Here's your view on the world. Here's your values. Here's your personality.

And now you could imagine using that to explain to you, here's how the other side sees the world. I can convince a Democrat to kind of understand, here's maybe why a Republican is more opposed to immigration, more opposed to abortion, not in a way that a Republican would try to convince you, right? Because they're coming from their own perspective.

But in a way that Democrats think about the world, that's oftentimes a much more promising way of convincing the other side, or at least making you a bit more receptive to arguments of the other side. And this is proven by research, by the way. It's essentially this idea of, can I tap into your own moral campus to make you think about the world in a slightly different way?

Yeah. And now you have to stop me because it's one of these topics that I could talk about forever because I hear this question all the time. So, again, in the classroom, when I talk about here's what we can do with your data, there's always at least one person who says that. And in a way, I can even partially relate to this because it feels like, well, I tried everything.

It just feels like an uphill battle that I can't win. So I might as well give up. But it's a very privileged position to be in, first of all. So the fact that you don't have to worry about your data being out there just means that you're currently in a really good spot.
