    Facebook's Artificial Intelligence Advertising and Data Monetization

    • Facebook has the ability to predict future behavior and alter a consumer's anticipated course through targeted advertising based on decisions they haven't made yet.
    • It can use its user base of over 2 billion individuals to identify millions of people at risk of switching from one brand to a competitor and target them with aggressive advertising to preempt and change their decision.
    • The service is called "loyalty prediction" and uses facts of users' lives to predict their future behavior.
    • Facebook's artificial intelligence advertising is similar to Cambridge Analytica's "psychographic" profiling of voters, but Facebook has unfettered access to vast databases of behavior and preferences.
    • Despite Mark Zuckerberg's claims, Facebook essentially acts as a data wholesaler, monetizing advertising insights that are intimately about the users.
    • The document mentions drawing on location, device information, Wi-Fi network details, video usage, affinities, and details of friendships to run a computer simulation of a user's life.
    • The systems described in the document raise ethical issues, including potential manipulation of users, influence on elections, and strong-arming businesses.
