The Machine World
This idea is to create a new website that tracks numbers and data about the Machine World.
why
In an increasingly complex world, there’s more and more computers and software.
But there isnt one large, public avenue where you can consume this data.
- how many servers are there?
- what is the wattage of each?
- how many bots are there on social networks?
- how smart are the algorithms based on standard testing?
- which countries are more advanced and deploy the most machines and softwares?
- how many public software libraries are there ans what is our dependence of them?
- what are the rights of software holders and their responsibilities?
- how many algorithms are taking decisions about our life, in electric grids, etc?
- which data is ready to be consumed by machines in their decision process?
- whats our certainty that data is being published by machines unaltered?
precedence
Our World in Data is a massive online publisher of Data on Humans, like Poverty, Health, Freedom.
We need the same for the machine world.
structure
main object
- thinking machines (in general), the parallel to the person
properties to be studied
- computers (to be used by people; per type/ capability)
- computers (to be used by computers, like a DAC, switches of a network)
- electricity
- chips (category, generation)
- bandwidth (traffic; volume and types)
- cost
