Artificial Societies: Confronting Social Engineering after the Techlash - Symposium and call for abstracts
Location: Oculus
Social life is increasingly being the object of interventions from engineering and economics. Platforms, AI and Big Tech are driving a growing engineering of the social, often without transparency and accountability. This event encourages interdisciplinary dialogue to problematise our present, explore alternatives, and address societal concerns amid growing public backlash against Big Tech.
