DISCOVERY TALK

Digital technologies and innovations are inextricably woven into the fabric of modern society. These technologies are changing our world, for better and for worse. To harness the opportunities and address the challenges, we need to fundamentally transform the way we do digital innovation.

This panel discussion brings together researchers to reflect on the opportunities of digital transformation and its challenges.

We ask: What happens when we post content online? How are decisions made about us using tools like machine learning? And how can we participate in shaping our digital futures?

The session will feature two short talks, followed by open Q&A with the researchers.
