what happen is there was no information that individual's records were being used in this manner no consent which violates hipaa and i would also say that the way that the information was used and stored and the security protocols around it certainly did not meet him yet that was the question is going to follow up with what we know to rebut the big question has to be whether or not consent plays a role here exactly so right that's the other big issue here and that's the other issue of a company like a google having access to so many records and connected social media health care history fitness of these patients so are we looking at a potential future where insurance companies can access and these data and analytics and determine whether or not people can get coverage or are denied claims well let's try and make this a simple as we can for everybody who's trying to understand what is incumbent upon us as a doctor or a provider when it comes to medical records that's the data that we collect from the patients yes doctors or doctors offices are allowed to share

certain data but according to the 1996 law which established how that information is shared it has to be for a medical function in other words christie you go to see your doctor she gives you a referral to see another doctor and then your doctor send your data your file over to that doctor because there's a reason for them to have that i see no reason in the world where someone would be able to use that dict of that information from that law to then say well we're going to share with google which has nothing the hell to do with medicine so that's the real problem here this information is sacrosanct and it's being shared with a company which shares and collects data but then legally wise they are structured as a business associate sanction is structured as a business associate to google does a technology provider that is assisting doctors with the information so they're an independent party so that is the claim that there are no and i get that but the but the point is and i think that you make a very valid point there the point is this 9. the 6 law the way it's structured say

just because they're your business partner doesn't mean you have the right to share information they have to be a business partner that then allows you to share because there's a specific medical function that's going to be served for the patient not for the business for the patient and i think miles will probably agree with me that seems to be what's missing here well and then miles to that point i mean isn't the part of the issue here the fact that we're looking at google not just delving into the part of health care that they're in right now right but they're developing a i with this and i don't want this to be missed in this discussion because the ai component of it goes far beyond just collecting and processing information they're actually building a new business model a new business tools of the future right so here's the question is with this a i do we get to the point in the future where they're there are machine learning that's telling doctors what they can and cannot do let's say the doctor doesn't

follow that and now health insurance companies say we don't have to pay on that claim because you didn't follow what the machines told you to do. absolutely there is not enough health care professionals to cover the medical needs in the united states in fact health information data doubles every 73 days and you're going to use a to do diagnostic you're going to do this to develop tools to help doctors absolutely but what's going to drive it is this information this lifestyle index and it's going to determine who gets treatment who doesn't get treatment who gets insurance and who doesn't get insurance and this is what the frightening point about it is not only do i believe that google has violated heppell but they probably violate several state privacy laws as well you know by going ahead with project nightingale and you know can i can i say something here that sometimes gets lost and in this

discussion the expectation of privacy that a patient has when he goes to a doctor is at a premium is so important the reason i would go to see my doctor and tell him something very private about myself that i wouldn't even want my family to know about me is because i have an expectation that that information is never going to get out the damage that we do to the patient and to our medical system if we allow this type of thing to happen is unbelievable in terms of what it could do down the line because it would mean that in the future i may not want to go to my doctor i'm going to get on a plane and go to mexico the next time i need a checkup because you don't have that connection and then lastly and i know we're short on time here but something miles said about state regulatory laws and rick i want to ask about this right you know illinois has this biometric law that essentially everyone is getting sued for a video dr pepper we were everyone sued under this thing because they don't get consent no one gave consent for this it's been going on for over a year and there's been no consent how do you do you get around the miles of most

practices if you're a provider even if you just have let's say somebody working answering phones for exam. bill that person has to be checked out to make sure that they're not accidentally sharing information even if it's just wellness stuff so i mean most doctors go through this very rigorous process to make sure something like this doesn't happen and they usually get fined $4000.00 for one violation we're talking about $10000000.00 people here where their data was already filed with reichl this is a major violation i can't see it any other way and miles i think than just very quickly go ahead. yeah and i just want to say there's no private right of action under hippo but you can get a lawsuit under state privacy laws either for negligence or breach of them you know imputed contract so what i'm going to start seeing is i'm going to see some class action suits happening at the state level for negligence against google you can have the state attorney generals come in as well and they're going to pursue this

very vigorously as they have been pursuing facebook for the past several years real quick miles before we go i know we're running over here but did google know they were doing wrong here do you think simply by the fact that they kept it a secret they didn't tell anyone you didn't they didn't even tell doctors that they were doing this. absolutely there's a reason you don't say something sometimes i think it kind of. guilt but then again i'm not a lawyer. you may have thought it was convenient to have a voice assistant in your home but it might be time to think again a group of researchers in japan and at the university of michigan found a way to take over some of your home's personal systems from hundreds of feet away this included google home amazon's alexa or apple's siri devices all by simply

shining laser pointers and even flashlights at the devices microphones the researchers even open a garage door by shining laser beams at a voice assistant that was connected to it a recent report shows at least 26.6 of us households own at least one smart speaker and as we enter the holiday season even more will likely have them r.t. america's branch of war and sam on thursday oka filled in on the show and spoke with tech executive and author alex out of are about the possible vulnerabilities these systems and what responsibilities tech giants have to lock down their hardware. so it's actually part of a long running pattern of people testing out things that are popular and you can go way back to the. day when you had people using captain crunch whistles to essentially tweak of a call phone booths to get free long distance calls now it's a little more industrialized where's the research teams are checking to see ok does this new device work does it not how can i crack it because all of these pieces are actually really critical to our overall security as

a society going forward well you mention as as a society as we move toward a more connected society with all of these devices and every home and office how can companies like amazon and google put these devices out that are susceptible to these types of attacks. so i think that it's a really really hard problem because if you think about it there's almost infinite ways to attack and test these devices and it's really hard for someone like oh google or amazon to to speed every single one of these i mean human creativity is kind of infinite so pointing laser pointers at it or flashing numbers at it i mean these are just part of the development of technology i think for us to expect that these things will go out perfect is not realistic that said when we see these starts of vulnerabilities pop up we should expect to see them fixed fairly quickly now there's a whole other line along that too which is that behind these things are invariably artificial intelligence and artificial intelligence is still quite brittle so still fairly easy to fool in

a lot of ways but on that point that you just made there i mean artificial intelligence is all new obviously we can't like you said expect them to go out perfect but there has to be some sort of security measure in place correct alex because what we're looking at is you know you could affect somebody you could open a garage door that means your house is now vulnerable to somebody being entered so i mean obviously i know you're not saying they don't have any responsibility but what you know you as a former techies i couldn't see in the rollout or as a tech as active in general as seeing the rollout of products like this i mean what kind of strange and stuff especially when you're seeing from the big boys like amazon and google what are they doing to kind of prevent these types of things before they go to market. well i think pretty clearly they're not doing enough i mean i agree with you on that i think that they probably are testing some vulnerabilities in their skunkworks or their labs before they send them out what i think is missing is that when you go look at commercial software for example google has an entire team dedicated towards what they call 0 day vulnerabilities in

software that's looking for things that could bring a server to a halt that's not necessarily known out in the wild apple has a bug bounty program or you know various software companies have bug bounty programs so they've put in place to try to mitigate or spot these problems in advance different incentive structures that have different testing programs now things like voices that are very early days so i think that we still haven't built that out yet and i think it's incumbent upon google and amazon and all these other folks to now go and say ok we need to put in place some more robust both internal and external testing programs to incentivize and create a market for finding these types of laws well alex do you think i mean this was like you said are inevitable are we ever going to really be able to contain 100 percent of this i mean over 25 percent of u.s. households own one of these smart speakers is this something that really we we should should be doing relying on these or is this something that's going to become

more common then like i said is it ever going to be 100 percent containable. so no it will never ever be 100 percent containable just as software bugs have not been 100 percent containable over time you will see systems that hopefully will be more resilient and more secure i think that that's a reasonable ask but in terms of saying we want 100 percent it's never going to happen in the same way they are never going to have a car that's going to not break down 100 percent of the time or you're never going to have a plane crash ever things will happen that's just part of complex systems now that being said i think that there's lots and lots of areas that we should be more we should build in better ways to absorb failures. as we start to see more of these devices in us households become more important part of our infrastructure of how we interact with finances of how we do all these things in our lives now i think the other part of it which we should just get used to is that failure will tend to be more catastrophic so when things go really wrong they're going to really really wrong and you've seen almost the same thing in airline crashes you know where now

when you see airline crashes almost everybody dies as we get towards things like automated cars or when the systems are driving or they have more control in our lives or these speakers the vulnerabilities will be worse the information exposed will be worse and i think that's part of the tradeoff of heading into a world where we allow these systems to take more and more responsibility and more control. time now for a quick break but hang here because when we return as technology continues to speed forward since the tap the brakes long enough to sort out the developments we spoke with you know an all star line out of copenhagen denmark about the growth of microchip in humans and what role the controversial practice to play and it.

says. industry is based on greed greed is based on this. rush to simulate as much paper wealth as possible even though it's not genuine wealth. money it's not gold like a warren buffet just hoards of money like an old granny what hoard phone books and that doesn't credible damage because the thing called kate said to the population this notion of holy.

in his community there are people who believe that it's ok. it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as a parent. i can come up with lots of arguments and there's a lot of conflict within the game and between the 2 teams most of the conflict i would say overall is around money and most of their money is made. post-war you know the children's cosimo each other is good business the state of california alone makes 6000000000 dollars a year of the prison complex just to get some point in your life where. you don't care anymore nobody cares about your so your care might anything. be. title you can be moved to clean sneed.

or over. to discredit another and you know you. could want to take it on you think about it. each you want to look at them as though. you didn't have them do need to get to be a good tone. often to get the if you're going to fail when i'm in the good children tell them the thought that you can fire one next time you don't come.

well facebook is under fire yet again this time for invading is members privacy thank you my sense kind of a theme with facebook and privacy turns out the social media giant could have been sneakily using your i thought camera while using the facebook app at least that's the case if you're using it on an i phone artistry of the job as filed this report to break it down i believe there's the where it appears that a system bug is allowing facebook to access users i phone cameras while they're using the facebook app scrolling through their feet the news now sparking fierce reaction i don't think it's true that the number is right facebook users took to twitter saying that their phone cameras were activated automatically whenever they were using the facebook app that's an invasion of my privacy i mean that this is also a media we don't see that one user joshua maddux tweeted out this video showing that when he scrolled through his social media feed the app would actively use the camera he said found a facebook security and privacy issue when the app is open and actively uses the

camera i found a bug in the app that lets you see the camera open behind your feed note that i have a camera pointed at the carpet earlier this month several other users spotted the bug one user posted this video and said today while watching a video on facebook i rotated to landscape and could see the facebook instagram story i for a split 2nd when rotating back to portrait the story camera at you i opened entirely a little worrying facebook confirmed a bug in the latest version of the i o. s. sap the company said in a statement we re. only discovered that version $244.00 of the facebook i.o.'s app would incorrectly launch in landscape mode in fixing that issue last week in v $246.00 launched on november 8th we inadvertently introduced a bug that caused the app to partially navigate to the camera screen adjacent to news feed when users tapped on photos although the company submitted a fix to apple users are still outraged some even considering closing their facebook accounts yeah i might be thinking of closing my account i don't like my

rights being violated it makes me want to shut off facebook i don't want anybody getting it's my private information like that that's invasive absolutely not meantime until the fix is completely approved experts are warning users to revoke a camera access for the facebook app until the update is available now this is just the latest scandal that facebook is battling as it tries to win back the trust of its users after a series of privacy scandals that have occurred in recent years including ease dropping on its users through phone microphones in order to better target advertising all of the company has repeatedly denied those allegations reporting in the orchard of each of us are to. imagine showing up for work and instead of swiping a key card to get into the building you simply just wave your hand and a microchip inserted under risk and gave you access for some people in sweden they

don't imagine this life it is their life thanks to a company called bio hacks might bio chip a has taken up as an increasingly common alternative to the use of key cards and take it after being injected with a syringe between the thumb and the forefinger at roughly the size of a grain of rice these chips are designed to render users lives more convenient by replacing the need for cumbersome amounts of cars pass codes and signatures we were joined by the founder and c.e.o. of bio hacks me on our stuff all stolen all the way from copenhagen denmark to break this down. started the conversation off by asking just how common it is to see microchip being in sweden. so i'd say it's per capita more common than any other place in the world and most people use it for single sign on on computers to. rid themselves of passwords jim access training. close to payments smart office smart home personalization i mean

were doing payment and next couple weeks. which is going to relieve anyone from having to handling money i mean paper notes is extremely cumbersome for any nation state and just adds risk clutter so. it's pretty incredible technology can you explain a little bit about how the technology works because obviously people lose their jobs they move to new apartments they change their gym membership some people actually go and some people just fake it but what is the process for updating that microchip once it's already inserted in the skin so be. it be kind of if you had to replace the chip they were once in a while and every time you move or whatever all you have to do is you become the root key instead of you having to handling 101520 keys and it disconnects the tokens so the only thing you do is because you change instead of

getting their card you supply them with your key and they facilitate that in their system. in the duration of you being a member of the same thing with a job i mean you load credentials onto a card by a system so if you if someone changes job you just remove them from the system. here we make the use or the room key so the user is the distributor of their keys rather than the other way around. so felt by basically flipping the entire model which is very interesting now in 2017 there was an attempt by a wisconsin company to implant these chips in their workers the company 3 square market didn't receive a very positive reaction so have you found that in other countries specifically in the us that there is a picture of the lowly worker being chipped monitored and being tracked. i mean you

can't escape the fact that. lean towards 84 velie and dystopia and i mean who wouldn't think so because everything we've ever seen microchip or implants featured in a movie or or anything else it's either polonium tracking device or explosives. that it's all the information we have or had i mean. this is kind of flipping it by putting you in control then making this tiny thing a part of you making. i mean you dictate preferences on share and you dictate everything about it was not employee employer saying employee get this chip it's like 99 percent is the other way around and it's employees saying why don't we use this bad us technology in our workplace because they do and. i mean the the

media. does portray it and all the different ways but i'd say it's a good thing being scared of technology because if you are you you get informed so i think i'd rather. scare people. and make them inform themselves of what it actually is and how it works then the other way around and it is interesting how they become as you said the root of all of this and they share that the dinner fire but the company name of course is bio hack what about the issue of hacking and i'm sure a lot of people are concerned about this as well because these chips do release a signal essentially and i believe it's in enough the signal but is it possible for hackers to read those chips separately from their intended use to pull information from them to change them how do you avoid that issue of hacking. so nothing in some hackable says get that straight right i mean the only what our primary goal is

basically making everything just stupendously. boring to try and get it so the actual hack would never reward itself once you get to the goal because you'd get an extremely compartmentalise set of bits so i mean less or a nation state or a couple of nation states going together to try and pawn block chain. you know. there'd be no reward. the end of that so. if you just make it boring and you know rude no big reward at the end of the road no one's going to hack it. so what do you think of this because this actually this interview completely changed my mind on what i thought it was all about i was part of the how

did it change your mind i was completely against it before because i thought it was such an invasion of privacy that companies would be able to track you and everything like this but the way that he implemented so with you being the root of it all and actually makes it so that you are the one giving access to all of these people not the other way around yes so i do like the fact that it kind of flips that whole idea of being microchip on its head however. over it doesn't eliminate the reality of being tracked right so everything you talked about which was very interesting doesn't change the fact that because it is emitting in the signal and because you are at the root there's not to say that employers can't still use it to track that number or that it did a fire or governments track that number or did a fire to figure out where you are and where you've access so again look at make since you know he used the term orwellian i think if you look at it from an orwellian point of view if you have the technology governments will always look to find a way to use that for their benefit not for yours so whatever governments do you think would actually be able to use it because every single government here in

specially in europe or in the united states they have extremely different laws concerning user data and user privacy so saluting who do you think would be more acceptable for this kind of technology government to your example before i will take any government keep government out of my microchips at least as a teacher i'm pretty good but either way i just gotta keep an eye on it so. that's it for this time you must on directv channel 321 dish network to 80 are serving 247 on clarity the free to 79 or as always hit us up at youtube dot com slash boom bust r.t.e. will see about your next time. much of a profit and. then you have the record and what we have done is to try and identify something happening in the brain where the explosion of the ripples correspond to

the depth of your consciousness. got you to tie it into the consumer. you. could want to take it out you think about it. tell me i'll get him out so. i get to be a good tone. when i'm in the good children tell him the thought that you can tie one next time you don't come.

young elephants have come to us off to. us basically brutal budging incidents because sadly the baby elephants often do see their mothers out only to be killed but also be caught up unfortunate. i do believe the elephant smile i see it in these little ones they all say sure they express untainted as. they know to be. thinking of getting a cue from the ones we've gotten her shoes thrown around was as he didn't know what to do he was trapped in this tiny little wired coach we don't need

a crate with him he will just stir freaking out into the wall when it's freedom anywhere near and thousands of breeding dogs are caged in the interview lane conditions on puppy phone i mean 67 years you know they've been locked up in a cage outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the courtier the rain the snow the funder nothing they have no protection. to get what you. get through chaos across the us cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows on pet stores most of the puppies that are coming from these large scale factory farming kind of operations are being sold in stores even joined a good businesses are involved like cargo the mom sent up there has been a shocking amount of organized opposition to adverts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding for so many most of that opposition is coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with

jobs don't buy dog. breaking news on i'll say u.k. police named the man who stabbed 2 people to death on london bridge on friday he was a convicted terrorist released from prison less than a year ago. 3 people were injured in the netherlands in a stopping attack the suspect is currently at large. and the mayor of a believer in town returns to work after she was beaten and publicly humiliated by opponents of the ousted president ever moralities she speaks to r.t. about her ordeal. that he also cut off my hair they beat me up but they can't change my views and i want people to take a step back and think they believe in people cannot live like this.
