Best-selling author and technologist, David Weinberger discuses how the multiple problems with machine learning and the world being overloaded causes people to re-think how the world works in terms on technology and how it relates to journalism.

Weinberger is a senior researcher at Harvard's Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society. He showcased his book Everyday Chaos: Technology, Complexity, and How We're Thriving in a New World of Possibility that came out May 2019. This book focuses on how the internet is transforming everyone's understanding of how things happen and the complexity of the world.

There are multiple problems with machine learning, and the world being overloaded. Machine learning is when computers can access data without human interaction The amount of overload leads to internet chaos such as complexity and the butterfly effect, Weinberger said.

"The internet has put us into a chaotic environment," Weinberger said. "We're generally sensitive in this case being far some of the marks of chaos theory.

The argument that is being made is if people are going to find out if the creation of the new models of the machine learning is going to be discovered or the answer is going to remain inevitable, Weinberger said.

"Overload and chaos are not the result of technology," Weinberger said. "It's not like technology or introducing these things to us. Rather they are revealing this to us. The fact that we were able to succeed on the internet. That overload your town environment allows us to acknowledge the overload of chaos about oral is overloaded and it is chaotic."

Weinberger gives a solution such as filtering to decrease overload of information on the internet. A filter checks the origin or content of a webpage against the rules made by the business or person who has created the web filter. A web filter is a program that can screen an incoming web page and decide if the user should be able to access it.

"Journalism could help us build better," Weinberger said. "Echo chambers are really important to value as part of the owning process."

Journalism relates to topics such as ownership and building echo chambers, Weinberger said. Owning something is learning about something and acknowledging it and learning from it. Echo chambers are where data points, beliefs and ideas are reinforced through a closed system.

The argument between people who are against vaccination and medical researchers is used as an example to explain the two echo chambers. The two echo chambers further confirmed both existing beliefs.

"His speech gave me a perspective on how fast technology is changing every day," ASU sophomore Trace Garrett said. "I learned about the echo chamber perspective and how it affects our society.

After Weinberger gave his speech, he answered a series of questions challenging his beliefs, theories and knowledge in addition to questions about his book.

"It definitely opened my mind cause I do blog," said Allyson Cavallero, an ASU senior "I'm a content strategist. It just opened my mind even to the way of marketing because I do marketing and marketing people do content. We produce content and how we look at our audiences in order to do that."
