Is techology allowing companies to ‘chip’ away at your privacy?

To be “chipped” or not to be – that is the question. Workers in Wisconsin are the first in the United States to be implanted with microchips.

A similar system already works in Sweden. They are opening doors electronically, remotely logging-in to computers – even buying lunch without moving a muscle.

But the skin tech has its critics… some see another example of Big Brother, watching your every move.

What about potential risks to health and security? And are we forgetting privacy?

Presenter: Hazem Sika.

Guests:

Ben Libberton – Swedish Medical Nanoscience Center and microchip critic.

Jowan Osterlund – Founder of BioHax International.

Clara Grelsson – Microchip donor.
