OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Join us for an interesting talk where Elaine builds off of her previous research and experience to explore how digital democracy is being transformed by emerging technologies, especially through the development and use of generative AI. While AI may have numerous positive impacts for society, it may also undermine trust. This poses serious questions for the future of democracy. During the talk, Elaine will explore three primary areas. 1) Citizenship and digital rights, 2) Elections and political parties, and 3) Government and public policies. By focusing on these three primary areas, attendees of the talk will come away with a new understanding of where we are going, what challenges we might face, and what the future holds for digital democracy.
Elaine Ford is a Visiting Policy Fellow at the Oxford Internet Institute and is the founder and director of Democracia Digital in Peru. In 2019, Elaine wrote her first book “The Challenge of Digital Democracy” which explored her interests in the relationship between technology and democracy.
