Description: The Change of the Political Paradigm
The Cambridge Analytica scandal that engulfed Facebook, and the alleged manipulation of the US and other elections are only the tip of the digital iceberg towards which governments, societies and geopolitics generally are headed. Digital technology is permeating every part of how we are governed - and effecting whom we choose to do the governing. At the same time, perhaps less visibly, it is effecting authoritarian societies. In this session, we'll explore how digital technology has become what philosophers call a "formal cause", i.e. something that does not merely have effects, but that is actually structuring and shaping political and social choices. We will also speculate what that means for the future of businesses and citizens in the years ahead.
