During the past fifty years, humans have gone to the moon, collided particles, and probed the origins of the universe. Until recently, in contrast, how humans think, act and interact with each other has continued to remain a dark mystery. No one seems satisfied with our ability to educate children, govern societies or achieve health and happiness. The era of Big Data promises to solve this mystery by providing unlimited clues about human thought and behaviour that can inspire new strategies for enhancing individual and collective experience. At the same time, such Big Data raises profound ethical questions that probe to the heart of what it means to be human.Cast: Treehouse Group and Quincy BerryTags: Chad Gaffield, Big Data, Humans, Human Complexity, discussions, humanity, psychology, ethics, Toronto, Toronto Reference Library and Treehouse Talks
