Product Design for Human-centered Machine Learning

If you’re an online marketer you could be forgiven for feeling like GDPR is an atom bomb that was just dropped on your business model. The consensus seems to be that almost all companies with an online presence will be essentially forced to comply with GDPR, whether they are in the EU or not. Of course if you’re a user who’s had your data sold, rented, stolen or otherwise harvested, things look a whole lot rosier.
