We are building a future of things that observe us and the environment, that learn and are trained to take decisions. A lot of them will be living with us in our homes. We will tap into the weird, awkward, and potentially ironic relationships that can emerge with an objects that knows partial, wrong or even biased information about us. As there are a lot of assumptions around this being a future that will work and that we want anyway and in this talk we shortcircuit some of them.
