Title: Personal AI to Maximize the Value of Personal Data while Defending Human Rights and Democracy
Abstract:
Value of personal data (PD) is maximized by decentralized management; i.e., aggregating PD to the data-subject individuals and letting only the data subject fully utilize her own PD. We have been developing PLR (personal life repository), a software library to implement this decentralized management and applied it to various use cases including education, healthcare, and administrative services. Associated with your PLR, a personal AI (PAI) will be exclusively dedicated to you, managing your PD and fully utilizing it to optimize your life by intervening your actions more deeply and carefully than other technologies so far — the best ever personal service potentially accounting for 25% of GDP. On the other hand, the central AI (CAI) based on centralized PD management has created surveillance capitalism and digital Leninism, threatening human rights and democracy. It is impossible for the humanity to jointly restrict CAI, because some companies and countries may eventually enjoy huge profit and power by CAI, unlike by a full-scale nuclear war. However, this risk may be overcome by letting service providers (both public and private) employ PAIs instead of CAIs in order to improve their profits, provided that PAIs are properly governed by data analytics based on the decentralized management of PD.
