How do we ensure technology makes our lives better? Tech Mirror: Reflecting on technology and society with Johanna Weaver explores how technology impacts our lives: the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful. Technology is made by humans. When we refocus on this foundational truth, it opens the possibility that technology can be made differently. Questions about how we might shape technology differently are not just technical questions. The answers to these questions go to the very core of the fabric our societies. Just as there is a variety of diverse voices involved in the development of health policy, or national security policy, we need more people to actively engage in tech policy discussions. Through interviews with the movers and shapers, and analysis by experts and opinionated guests, this podcast will empower you to participate in policy discussions to shape the technologies that will shape our future.

Getting Under the Hood of Social Media with Frances Haugen
Episode 37
Tuesday, 16 April, 2024
Frances Haugen came to the world’s attention in 2021 as a whistle-blower, after filing a series of complaints about Facebook (now Meta) with the U.S. Federal Government about the harms caused by their business practices. She now works to champion accountability, transparency, and driving social media for the common good. In this new episode of Tech Mirror, TPDC Director Professor Johanna Weaver and Frances Haugen cover a lot of ground discussing topics including: - the importance of whistle-blower protections - recognising linguistic diversity in online safety - the power of collective action, amongst both communities and middle powers like Canada and Australia - mechanisms of transparency - building independent ecosystems of accountability - elections, democracy and disinformation - artificial intelligence and the limits of nuclear analogies - AND what it takes to change the world Relevant Links: Frances Haugen https://www.franceshaugen.com/ Beyond the Screen https://www.beyondthescreen.org/
