The digital economy and platform capitalism: social and political implications

Conferencia | Spanish

The digital economy and the behaviour of tech giants are heading towards re-writing, almost literally, the rules of competition. Alongside these changes, regulatory and political reactions related to the onset of issues specific to this new digital world are beginning to spring up. What are the limits of digital privacy? What can companies do and not do with your data? Who does the data, freely available on the internet, that companies have about you belong to? Who should be responsible for the algorithms that take transcendental decisions automatically about our lives? This talk offers a twin perspective of how technology is changing society and makes a first attempt at redefining the executive skills that must be enhanced in the era of automation.

See you there!
