Can we imagine new models based on free open-source software and communities, that put democratic issues and the rights of citizens at its core? This roundtable will address these issues from different European experiences that are making bold bets on public code...
Carl T. Bergstrom is a professor of biology at the University of Washington and co-author of the book Calling Bullshit, which addresses modern techniques of disinformation based on data-driven narratives. Detecting this type of hoaxes is especially complex because they exploit the language of mathematics, science and statistics.

50 years after the birth of the Internet, the existing battles in the legal field seeking to regulate this great global space are multiple and increasingly complex. Regulation and legal times always operate much slower than the speed of technological development, and even more so in aspects as complex as the development of artificial intelligence, automatic data processing, or the impact of social networks and large platforms on society as a whole...
Why is the internet so broken? What could ever possibly fix it? Ben Tarnoff (Logic Magazine) will try to answer these questions with a whirlwind tour of the internet's history, and in particular the history of its privatization.

The internet is broken, Tarnoff says, because the internet is a business...

La lógica extractivista que sirve de base del actual régimen de dataficación, mediación algorítmica y automatización social es una racionalidad basada en el ejercicio de múltiples violencias que se enmascaran tras las narrativas que propugnan la posibilidad de un ejercicio ético del desarrollo tecnológico sin atacar las raíces de la injusticia...
