Shoshana Zuboff: How Covid-19 is shaping our Digital Future

Covid-19 is causing major disruption. Digital technologies have been a central aspect of our response to the pandemic, allowing us to stay connected, work and learn from home and keep businesses operating. How the crisis will play out for the digital transformation of the economy and society yet remains to be seen. Will a form of digital capitalism forge ahead that is dominated by a few tech giants and characterised by rising social inequality, data abuse and surveillance? Or will the crisis mark a turning point at which we dare to rethink the digital economy and society?
Shoshana Zuboff is Emeritus Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School and author of the book "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism".
