Technology, the Holocaust, and Human Rights
With Professor Clyde Ford, author of Think Black
Technology, the Holocaust, and Human Rights
Clyde Ford went in search of an answer. Ford was shocked and deeply disturbed, to uncover IBM’s central role in eugenics, the Holocaust, apartheid, and racial profiling through facial recognition. What began as a story about his father, soon enlarged into a cautionary tale about the dark side of high technology and recommendation about what must change.
