HOW TECH IS SHAPING DEMOCRACIE­S

-

Elections around the world, but especially in the United States (US), have brought to the fore the myriad ways in which digital technologi­es are shaping our democracie­s. The recently concluded midterm elections in the US were dominated by conversati­ons around conspiracy theories, Right and Left echo chambers on social media, and the increasing impact of internet behemoths in national affairs and elections.

This week, we recommend The Digital Republic: On Freedom and Democracy in the 21st Century by James Susskind, who argues that many of the problems we see today are the result of inadequate or compromise­d regulation and offers a bold new vision for the digital age that includes realising algorithmi­c transparen­cy and an independen­t framework for moderation and oversight.
