Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

In a world where endless information is available at the touch of a screen, much of what we think we know about people is dead wrong. The reason is simple – we all lie, not only to each other but to our lawyers, surveys, and most importantly, ourselves.

Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, a Harvard-trained economist, former Google data scientist, and New York Times writer, argues that we no longer need to rely on what people actually tell us. New data from our online lives finally reveals the truth. By the end of an average day, human beings searching the internet amass eight trillion gigabytes of data. When viewed the right way, these traces of digital information point to our deepest desires, hopes, prejudices and fears.

In EVERYBODY LIES: Big Data, New Data, and What the Internet Can Tell Us About Who We Really Are, Stephens-Davidowitz puts a human face on this data, revealing how it can be put to tangible use to pinpoint how people really feel, what they really want, and the secrets we harbor even from ourselves – priceless information for everyone, but especially for lawyers.

At the heart of Stephens-Davidowitz’s work is the concept of the internet as the ultimate truth serum. Unlike the curated versions of ourselves that we present to the outside world, our Google searches and other online behaviors are where we are most honest, and are a goldmine of previously untapped intel on what’s really going on inside our heads.

In the presentation based on his best seller, Seth Stephens-Davidowitz will demonstrate how we can actually use the data it to answer questions about everything from ethics and equality, to business, health, gender, and race – questions which would normally be virtually impossible to tackle. He will show us an entirely new way to look at the information around us and shows how new internet data can change how we view the world -- provided we ask the right questions.

Join Seth and a panel of expert attorneys as they discuss lies, how to find them, and how to use that information to your advantage in your practice and in your life.
