The NSA buys data from private companies, so the private companies are the source of all this stuff.

We can't just throw something out there and assume it works just because it has math in it.

There's less of a connection for a lot of people between the technical decisions we make and the ethical ramifications we are responsible for.

People are starting to be very skeptical of the Facebook algorithm and all kinds of data surveillance.

I think what's happened is that the general public has become much more aware of the destructive power of Wall Street.

When people are not given an option by some secret scoring system, it's very hard to complain, so they often don't even know that they've been victimized.

Every system using data separates humanity into winners and losers.

The most important goal I had in mind was to convince people to stop blindly trusting algorithms and assuming that they are inherently fair and objective.

I know how models are built, because I build them myself, so I know that I'm embedding my values into every single algorithm I create and I am projecting my agenda onto those algorithms.

For whatever reason, I have never separated the technical from the ethical.

Lord I thank you for the gift of life.

Building a business is like creating a picture & striving to be picture perfect in everything you do.

The good times of today, are the sad thoughts of tomorrow.

The paternalism of the medical industry is insane.

May God so fill us today with the heart of Christ that we may glow with the divine fire of holy desire.

Paintings are like a beer, only beer tastes good and it's hard to stop drinking beer.

If I sleep for more than half an hour, I get horrible dreams in which I'm firing a gun and helicopters are coming down.

I think America has a brilliant future.

You must always be able to predict what's next and then have the flexibility to evolve.

Never relinquish your terrors. That's when they catch you.
