At the EMCSR 2014 conference in Vienna, Stuart Armstrong presents a talk on the changing nature of surveillance. He shows how technology is changing the landscape of surveillance irrevocably, eroding privacy irresistibly. Sousveillance - mass surveillance of the powerful by everyone else - is a potential solution to the problem of excess top-down surveillance, though it would have some privacy costs itself - and many unexpected potential benefits, such as a police force greatly reduced in size and power.

We then look at the impact of surveillance and sousveillance on the most important issues they affect: existential risks (most especially pandemics and synthetic biology) and the possibility of a surveillance-fuelled global totalitarianism - a scenario with much theoretical arguments, but little empirical evidence.
