Power to the People: Reclaiming Privacy Rights in the Age of AI

Show Notes
This episode explores how the United States drifted away from the robust, substantive privacy protections envisioned in the early 1970s, replacing them with ineffective "notice and choice" frameworks that favor government surveillance and corporate profit. As we face a new technological crossroads with artificial intelligence, the discussion reveals how Big Tech recycles historical narratives to frame their dominance as inevitable while activists fight to reclaim control over how data is collected and used. Finally, we outline a strategic path for the public interest community to rebuild the intersectional social movement power necessary to enact laws that truly protect rights, equity, and democracy.
