Aman Jabbi is a technology expert with deep insight into mass surveillance. He has worked both in the US and abroad to spread awareness and help concerned citizens to organize to keep their communities free of smart city technology.
In this interview, Aman shares the big picture of how the components of smart city infrastructure come together to create a system of data collection, analysis, and monitoring and how such systems are used abroad for purposes of societal control. Although the road is difficult and the future may seem bleak, Aman offers a message of hope for those who have the strength, courage, and determination to build numbers in opposition to the surveillance state.
This is the interview included in The Gray Matter Project’s documentary Smart: Coming to a City Near You.
