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

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.

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.

I would argue that one of the major problems with our blind trust in algorithms is that we can propagate discriminatory patterns without acknowledging any kind of intent.

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.

The public trusts big data way too much.

There are ultimately two choices in life: to fight it or to embrace it. If you fight it you will lose - if you embrace it you become one with it and you'll be lived.

You'll end up living a lonely life if you're waiting around for perfect.

I've been good about keeping my nose to the grindstone.

If I can lead a happy life, touch the lives of others in a positive way, win the respect of those that I care about... and make a few million along the way, then I have been successful.

The image of Ireland is projected as a male image in the acting world, similar to the way that the word of Ireland is male dominated.

The secret of all power is - save your force. If you want high pressure you must choke off waste.

It's funny how the closer you get to God, the more you realize how far you are from Him.

My battles with addiction definitely shaped how I am now. They really made me deeply appreciate human contact. And the value of friends and family, how precious that is.

Tain't worthwhile to wear a day all out before it comes.

Hollywood is horrible... it's beyond satire.
