How to save the internet

Contributor(s): Sir Nick Clegg | Join us for this special event where former British Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg will talk about his new book, How to Save the Internet. The global, open internet is fragmenting. As democracies seek to rein in the power of big tech, as Silicon Valley pivots to an America-first agenda, as authoritarian regimes such as China and Russia segregate their populations from the rest of the internet, the most powerful tool ever created for bringing the world together risks being dismantled. Taking us behind the scenes at Meta and his interactions with world leaders, Nick Clegg, Meta’s former President, Global Affairs, sets out where big tech has gone wrong. But he also makes the case that many of the charges against them – including that their algorithms polarise, manipulate and harm – are vastly overstated or simply untrue. The book sets out a blueprint for the global cooperation we need in order to reform Big Tech while preserving the fundamental openness of the internet on which our future so depends.

The promise and peril of Trump's America first

Contributor(s): Professor Charles Kupchan | Donald Trump’s America First is a response to too much globalisation, too much immigration, and too many wars. But has Trump overcorrected? In this lecture, Charles Kupchan considers whether a divided America can find the middle ground over foreign policy.

The crime of war: from the Nuremberg trial to Ukraine

Contributor(s): Professor Claus Kress | Eighty years on from the start of the Nuremberg War Crime Trial in November 1945 we ask what is the future of the crime of aggression after the creation of the ICC in 1998 and the Ukraine war? At this event, Claus Kress, a leading German academic, judge and currently Special Adviser to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court on the Crime of Aggression, will be in conversation with Gerry Simpson, a legal adviser at the ICC negotiations in Rome and at the UN and a professor of international law here at LSE. They will discuss the prospects for international law and the crime of aggression after Ukraine and in the light of the historic first international trials of war criminals at Nuremberg.

Can human solidarity survive social media and what if it can’t?

Contributor(s): Professor Nick Couldry, Baroness Beeban Kidron | Drawing on his recent book, The Space of the World, Nick Couldry will reflect on the global space of social communications and interaction that has been constructed over the past three decades through a commercialized internet and digital platforms whose business model depends on extracting data from users and shaping their behaviour to optimize advertising value. What if those conditions – valid perhaps in narrowly commercial terms – have guaranteed a space of human interaction that is larger, more polarized, more intense, and more toxic than is compatible with human solidarity? A space associated increasingly with toxic forms of political power and risks to the most vulnerable members of society? If so, we need to build a different space of the world, less likely to be toxic and more likely to generate the solidarity and effective cooperation that humanity absolutely needs if it is to have any chance of addressing its huge, shared challenges.

Racism and racial justice: 40 years on from the Broadwater Farm riots

Contributor(s): Sharon Grant, Dr Clive Chijioke Nwonka, Dr Roxana Willis | Join us to explore the legal, political and community-based racial justice work that emerged 40 years ago from the Broadwater Farm riots, examining methods of resistance that continue to address present-day questions of race, racism and social inequality. On 6 October 1985, The Broadwater Farm Estate in Tottenham became the site of one of the most significant moments of civil disobedience in British history. Three men, known as the Tottenham 3, were wrongly convicted and later acquitted for the murder of PC Keith Blakelock after a long campaign for justice. Four decades after the Broadwater Farm uprising, the events of October 1985 continue to resonate in the ongoing struggle against systemic racism. Marking the riots as a significant moment in Black British history, the event explores the Broadwater Farm Riots in the context of politics, community activism, law and criminology, the media and Black injustice.

How AI is helping - and harming - animals

Contributor(s): Professor Kristin Andrews, Dr Leonie Bossert, Jane Lawton, Dr Jeff Sebo | Learn more about the Jeremy Coller Centre for Animal Sentience, a new LSE initiative committed to making sure technological change works for - rather than against - the interests of other species. Would you trust a device that claimed to translate your dog or cat's emotions into English? Would you be OK with completely automated, human-free farming? What if you had a driverless car that was indifferent to hitting birds and foxes? AI is transforming the lives of animals at speed, but these huge impacts are going unnoticed and unregulated. Some of the changes could transform our relationships with our fellow creatures for the better, whereas others could make existing animal welfare problems much worse and even more deeply entrenched. How can we curb the risks and take the opportunities?

On natural capital: the value of the world around us

Contributor(s): Professor Sir Partha Dasgupta | How should we measure economic progress in an age of ecological crisis? Join us for a conversation with Partha Dasgupta, Emeritus Professor of Economics at the University of Cambridge, as he discusses his latest book On Natural Capital where he lays out a seminal and groundbreaking new approach to economics. Challenging everything that has come before, he asks, what if we were to put a value on nature just as we value everything else?

Climate finance and investment in low-income countries

Contributor(s): Melinda Bohannon, Dr Vera Songwe, Dr Sudarno Sumarto, Professor Chris Woodruff | Climate finance is a critical tool in supporting low-income countries as they face the growing impacts of climate change. These nations, despite contributing the least to global emissions, are often the most vulnerable to climate-related shocks such as extreme weather, rising sea levels, and food insecurity. Yet, they frequently lack access to the capital needed to adapt, build resilience, and pursue low-carbon development. Unlocking investment for climate action in low-income countries requires a coordinated effort between governments, development banks, private investors, and international organisations.
