S3. Rethinking Big/Tech - Introduction

Are you ready to rethink Big Tech? 

Join us for the third season of the Copenhagen Legal/Tech Lab Podcast, where we explore the critical intersection of technology, law, and policy.

In collaboration with the UWA Tech & Policy Lab at UWA Law School, The University of Western Australia, this season presents a compelling series of interviews featuring prominent UWA scholars, researchers, and experts who diligently examine the profound challenges presented by Big Tech companies in our everyday lives. Our overarching objective this season is to delve deeper into the intricate world of Big Tech, shedding light on its far-reaching impact, affecting not only individuals but society as a whole.

Here's what you can expect, learning from the three research streams of Julia Powles, Co-Founder and Director of the UWA Tech & Policy Lab:

📌 Big Tech Culpability: We delve into the "reckless disregard" of the tech giants. How do they get away with so much, with so little consequence?

📌 Curbing Human Monitoring: Uncover the challenges surrounding the sensing and digitisation of human bodies and movement. What does it mean for identity and opportunity?

📌 Challenging Inevitability: We confront technological determinism and explore why and how we allow tech giants to shape our future.

Host for this episode: Alexandra Andhov, Founder and Director of the Copenhagen Legal/Tech Lab.
