Technology Politics Today: Injustice, Deepfakes, and a Race to the Bottom”
As the world continues to rapidly embrace new technologies and corporations in the private sector remain on the cutting edge, regulators and citizens alike are struggling to grapple with their varied impact on our lives, which is felt unevenly across disparate geographies, and across many different lived experiences.

From AI to deepfakes, from social media to social good, new technologies every day raise complex questions about privacy, security, and the role of government in shaping our digital future. Discussants will share their insights on the latest developments, explore how their work intersects with politics and technology, and explore what’s on the horizon for technology governance this decade.

Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, interested in politics, or just curious about how technology is changing the world, you’ll come away with a better understanding of the current landscape, as well as ideas for how to shape your own academic or professional career toward away with an understanding of current efforts for tech governance, as well as how to get involved through your own work paving a way toward a better world.
