When Tech shakes up our democracies

Description

Tech is now shaping our democracies. In the digital age, artificial intelligence is influencing our opinions, sometimes without our knowledge. Accused of spreading fake news, some AIs are fuelling confusion, while social networks are becoming fertile ground for disinformation, as recent cases in Canada and Poland have shown. The most vulnerable, especially senior citizens, are prime targets for boomer traps. Even emojis can carry coded political messages. But this landscape is not entirely bleak: solutions are emerging for a more responsible and ethical Tech, capable of strengthening democratic processes. This conference explores these tensions between manipulation and progress, to better understand the risks and draw together a more enlightened digital future.
