प्रौद्योगिकी मानवीय मूल्यों की अभिव्यक्ति के अलावा कुछ नहीं है। यह तटस्थ नहीं है, न ही यह केवल दक्षता के बारे में है; यह लोगों के मूल्यों और उनके ज्ञान से जुड़ी है।

Technology is nothing but an expression of human values. It's not neutral, it's not about efficiency, it's about people's values and their knowledge.

जब मैं एमआईटी (MIT) में स्नातक की पढ़ाई कर रहा था, तब मैं यह सोचने की कोशिश कर रहा था कि भारत के किसानों और ग्रामीणों के लिए सॉफ्टवेयर और सिस्टम कैसे विकसित किए जाएँ। ऐसा करते समय, मुझे एहसास हुआ कि मेरा दृष्टिकोण प्रयोगशाला के भीतर का था, न कि उन समुदायों का जिनकी मैं सेवा करना चाहता था। मुझे समझ आया कि मैं प्रयोगशाला के भीतर बैठकर यह तय नहीं कर सकता कि एक अच्छी तकनीक कैसी होती है; इसके बजाय, मुझे लोगों के बीच ज़मीन पर उतरना होगा। सिर्फ उनके लिए नहीं, बल्कि उनके साथ मिलकर चीज़ें डिज़ाइन करनी होंगी।

When I was in graduate school at MIT I was trying to think about how to develop software and systems for farmers and villagers in India. In the process of doing that, I realized that my reference point was internal to the laboratory, rather than in the communities that I was wanting to serve. I realized that I could no longer assume what a good technology looks like from inside the laboratory; instead, I had to be in the world with people. Not just designing for them but with them.

फ़र्ज़ी ख़बरें इंटरनेट की एक ऐसी देन हैं जो पारदर्शी नहीं हैं। फ़र्ज़ी ख़बरें ऑनलाइन इसलिए फैल पाती हैं क्योंकि एक उपयोगकर्ता के तौर पर हमें यह बिल्कुल पता नहीं होता कि हमारे सामने जो सामग्री आ रही है, उसका स्रोत क्या है।

Fake news is a product of the internet that is not transparent. Fake news can spread online because as users we have no idea where any of the content we see comes from.

हम एक ऐसे दौर के करीब पहुँच रहे हैं जहाँ किसी भी बड़े पैमाने के तकनीकी प्लेटफॉर्म को या तो गूगल, या फेसबुक और कभी-कभी माइक्रोसॉफ्ट खरीद लेता है। हम ऑनलाइन व्यवहार के मामले में एक ऐसे कुलीनतंत्र (ओलिगोपॉली) की ओर बढ़ रहे हैं जो वास्तव में बहुत समस्या पैदा करने वाला है, क्योंकि ये कुलीनतंत्र पूरी तरह से गैर-पारदर्शी होते हैं, श्रम और आर्थिक समानता के मामले में बेहद खराब होते हैं और निगरानी प्रणालियों का समर्थन करते हैं। यह एक ऐसी दुनिया बना सकता है जहाँ हम सभी को बुलबुले (बबल) में कैद कर दिया जाए, जहाँ इन प्रणालियों को ऐसे लोगों द्वारा आसानी से हेरफेर किया जा सके जो हमारे हित के बारे में नहीं सोचते।

We are getting close to the point where as every platform of tech that has any level of scale gets bought by either Google or Facebook or sometimes Microsoft. We are getting to the point where we see some oligopoly in terms of behavior online, and that it's really problematic because the oligopolies are completely non transparent, they are terrible in terms of labor and economic equality and they support systems of surveillance. It can create a world where we are all placed in bubbles, where the systems themselves can be manipulated by people who don't have our best interests in mind.

मैं एक पूर्व इंजीनियर हूँ और मानवता की सेवा के लिए बेहतर तकनीक विकसित करने की संभावनाओं को लेकर वाकई बहुत उत्साहित था। हम में से कई इंजीनियरों का यह विश्वास होता है कि यदि आप कोई उपकरण बनाते हैं तो आप किसी न किसी तरह इंसानों को आर्थिक या सामाजिक रूप से सशक्त बना रहे हैं। एक बेहतर तकनीक बनाने के विचार का अक्सर मतलब अधिक कार्यक्षमता (एफिशिएंसी) होता है।

I am a former engineer and I was really excited about the possibility of building better technology to serve humanity. A lot of us as engineers have this belief that if you build a tool you somehow can empower humans economically or socially. The idea of building a better technology often means more efficiency.

मैं केवल व्यक्तिगत गोपनीयता में ही नहीं, बल्कि स्थानीय समुदायों के सम्मान में भी गहरी रुचि रखता हूँ। और मुझे लगता है कि इन दोनों मोर्चों पर हमारी समस्याएँ हैं, और जब भी कोई उद्योग लगभग एकाधिकारवादी बन जाता है, तो उसे अधिक जिम्मेदार बनने की चुनौती दी जानी चाहिए। हम प्रेस, अदालतों और नियमों के माध्यम से उन्हें यह चुनौती दे सकते हैं।

I'm really interested not just in privacy for the individual but respect for the local communities. And I think we have a problem with both and whenever industries kind of become almost monopolistic they have to be challenged to be more responsible. We can challenge them in the press, in the courts and in regulation.

मैं जो बात समझाना चाहता हूँ वह यह है कि यदि इन संचार प्रौद्योगिकियों के नेटवर्क पर उन लोगों का स्वामित्व है, जो इनसे मुनाफा कमाते हैं, इनकी निगरानी करते हैं और इन्हें वर्गीकृत करते हैं - जो कि बहुत कम लोग हैं, मुख्य रूप से सिलिकॉन वैली के श्वेत पुरुष - तो यह एक ऐसा वैश्विक गाँव है जो कुछ ही लोगों के विचारों, दृष्टियों, शब्दों और तौर-तरीकों पर बनाया गया है। इसलिए यह वैश्विक नहीं है - यह एपकोट सेंटर जैसा है। यह डिज्नीलैंड जैसा है: बड़ी दुनिया का एक छोटा सा नज़रिया।

The point I'm trying to make is if these networks of communication technologies are owned, monetized, surveilled, and classified by those with power - very few people, mainly white men in Silicon Valley - then it is a global village build upon the ideas, visions, words, and protocols of the few. So it's not global - it's like Epcot center. It's like Disneyland: a small worldview of the larger world.

यदि आप जानकारी को व्यापक रूप से साझा करते हैं, लेकिन उसे ऐसे तरीके से प्रस्तुत करते हैं जो आपके अपने दृष्टिकोण के अनुकूल हो, तो आप दरअसल तब भी सच्चाई को तोड़-मरोड़ कर ही पेश कर रहे हैं। इसलिए इसके बजाय आपको ऐसे सिस्टम बनाने के तरीके खोजने चाहिए जो लोगों को अपनी जानकारी को ऐसे तरीकों से अनुभव करने और वर्गीकृत करने की अनुमति दें जो उनके लिए सार्थक हों।

If you share information widely, but you present that information in ways that fits your own view, you're actually still misrepresenting. So instead what you should do is figure out ways to build systems that allow people to experience and classify their information in ways that are meaningful for them.

This is what engineers in Silicon Valley typically do. "Ok, well, of course there are some problems of our technology because it is so excellent and is so global so we are just gonna build a better one."

मुझे लगता है कि सरकारों को इंटरनेट कंपनियों को प्रोत्साहित करने और उन्हें यह समझाने की ज़रूरत है कि वे बिना अनियंत्रित हुए भी अत्यधिक लाभदायक हो सकती हैं। बिना एकाधिकार (मोनोपोली) बनाए भी वे सफल हो सकती हैं।
