"Privacy gives us space to figure out what to think, what to say to challenge power and the structures of the day," he said. "We need to be able to make mistakes without being watched, or else we won't take chances." The former Central Intel- ligence agency and national security agency employee and whistle blower, who in 2013 leaked classified information about the u.s. government spying on the public, spoke via live webcast at university of Waterloo Monday night. he made the case against government using mass sur- veillance, and instead argued for targetted monitoring of people involved in criminal activity. "What is the actual value of mass surveillance?" snowden said. "It has never been about terrorism. It's about economic espionage, power, control and influence." he tasked technology com- panies with continuing to develop software that people can use to remain anonymous online. The public lecture was hosted by uW to kick off its 60th year. In the next 60 years, said snowden, it will be important for researchers to focus on protecting computer systems rather than destroying those of enemies. "right now there's more research going into the offen- sive rather than the defensive even though everyone seems vulnerable to hackers," said snowden. academics, particularly young students, need to focus on changing this way of think- ing. "We've seen this before with the atomic bomb. People who focused on turning on the lights with atomic energy learned their work was being used to turn out the lights and destroy lives forever. "This is an atomic moment for computer sciences." The other keynote speaker was Kate darling, a human- robot interaction research specialist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. despite concerns robots are going to take human jobs or destroy all of humanity, she's found they're more likely to become teachers, students and therapists in collaboration with humans. "The piece that fascinates me is humans are biological- ly programmed to personify anything that moves similar to us," darling said. "People have an empathetic response to robots." she is interested in find- ing out how robots can help humans and where to draw the line. "Could robots be a healthy outlet for people with violent tendencies, or could they become more desensitized to violence?" asked darling. "The next 60 years is going to be really exciting for research." researcher and futurist nikolas Badminton hosted the event. Snowden inspires UW audience Edward Snowden, in Russia, waves goodbye to the audi- ence at the UW humanities theatre. The live webcast was streamed to viewers across the region and in Hong Kong.
