Book Talk with Virgílio Almeida
Who governs algorithms and how can we ensure they serve democracy?
As algorithms increasingly shape our institutions, societies and everyday decisions, questions of power, accountability as well as democratic governance become more important than ever.
Prof. Virgílio Almeida, winner of the Friedrich Schiedel Prize, will present his book, Algorithmic Institutionalism (Oxford University Press, 2023), which explores the growing influence of algorithmic systems and makes the case for democratic governance of algorithmic power. The presentation will be followed by a moderated discussion, offering space to exchange perspectives and reflect on the relationship between technology, institutions, and democracy.
