EP 3 | Controlling Our Toxic Relationship with Big Tech — Tom Kemp
Our relationship with the Big Tech companies has long been unhealthy, and we can’t seem to do anything about it—as individuals or as a society. With generative AI added to the mix, things are about to get very messy.
As we move forward into this new year, it is time to take control of that relationship. Let us become masters of technology, not just pawns in the Big Tech game.
This week’s conversation with Tom Kemp is the perfect way to jump-start this.
Here’s more about Tom:
Tom Kemp is a Silicon Valley-based entrepreneur, investor, and policy advisor. He is the author of Containing Big Tech: How to Protect Our Civil Rights, Economy, and Democracy. He was founder and CEO of Centrify, a leading cybersecurity cloud provider with over two thousand enterprise customers, including over 60 percent of the Fortune 50. He is a Silicon Valley angel investor, with seed investments in over a dozen tech start-ups. And he has served as a technology policy advisor and led marketing efforts to pass the California Privacy Rights Act in 2020 as well as advising and contributing to state privacy bills in 2023 including the California Delete Act and a Texas data broker requirement act. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science and history from the University of Michigan.
In this episode, we learn about Tom’s journey from a childhood in Michigan to successful tech entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. We discuss data collection, surveillance, and Big Tech’s monopolistic behaviors. And Tom proposes specific steps you can take today.
