Presentation at international conference: ‘The power to be free- algorithmic governance experimentation and personal freedom(s)’
The presentation discussed the increasing use of digital technologies in governance and how this digitalization, while aiming for efficiency, poses risks to personal freedoms and autonomy. It argued that these technologies often exacerbate existing power imbalances, leading to disproportionate surveillance and control over vulnerable populations. The presentation also highlighted how emerging technologies are not neutral but reflect certain cultural and epistemic biases. The conclusion emphasized the detrimental effects of these technologies on both individual and collective freedom.
