This Is Scary: The Power Of AI | Glenn Meder

Glenn Meder, founder of the Privacy Academy, explains how artificial intelligence is being used to understand, predict, and manipulate human behavior. He compares AI to Google Maps, not guiding people to physical locations but steering them toward targeted mental and emotional states. Meder warns that platforms like TikTok use AI to radicalize and destabilize users—especially youth—by customizing content that can push individuals toward despair or self-destructive behavior. He calls this the superpower of AI: its ability to observe, learn, and manipulate on a personal level. Viewers are urged to become aware of this unseen influence and take steps to reclaim control over their minds and privacy.
