    Digital ecologies with Attila Márton

    What society needs to be in place in order for what we observe to be not only acceptable but also desirable? I sit down with Attila Márton. We talk about what captures his attention when he is not teaching at the Copenhagen Business School or researching digitalization of core social phenomena.

To this effect, he is currently exploring the co-evolutionary dynamics between platforms and their respective ecosystems, the political ecology of digital labour and AI, the sociology of digital knowledge and forgetting, and the re-decentralization of the Internet.
