Inhalt
In her talk Ohlberg provides a realistic account of the Chinese social scoring system "without depicting something that does not exist and without trivializing anything.” She criticizes both: the dystopic coverage in German media and the consistently positive coverage in China.
Ohlberg explains the ulterior motives behind the creation of the system, which was partly inspired by the German Schufa, as well as current implementation measures, like the motivation of authorities to pass on data or a black list system. However, cameras with multiple face recognition are currently not suitable for the mass.
- It is presented as a "cure-all" for China‘s problems
- It is not one single, centralized system, but a policy framework
- The system is still under construction
- It is not all about scoring
- Social credit is just one piece of the "surveillance puzzle"
