Digital Futures: How new technologies are shaping civic freedoms

In this first episode of Digital Futures, we are speaking with Karolina Iwańska, the Digital Civic Space Advisor at the European Center for Not-for-Profit Law. Karolina is an accomplished human rights lawyer who specializes in the impact of new and emerging technologies on civic freedoms.
We discussed the influence - positive and negative - that emerging technologies have on civil society. For Karolina, there’s no denying that new technologies - and AI is just one of them - can contribute immensely to the work of civil society. But they also pose great dangers and new avenues for control by repressive governments.
Digital Futures is an original series by Forus as part of the CADE project co-funded by the European Union.
