DESCRIPTION:What happens when our phones\, feeds\, and algorithms quietly m
	ake extreme\nviolence feel normal and deadly tools easier to build than ev
	er? This talk\nintroduces “permaviolence”\, tracing how digital platforms\
	, AI and 3D-printed\nguns supercharge real-world harm\, and explores bold 
	legal strategies from Latin\nAmerica that aim to hold tech giants and gun 
	manufacturers accountable for\ncross-border\, digitally enabled violence t
	oday.\n\nLeón Castellanos-Jankiewicz\, senior researcher in international 
	law\, introduces\n“permaviolence”\, a concept describing the unprecedented
	 ubiquity of harm in\ncontemporary society mediated by digital technology.
	 Permaviolence operates\nthrough two mechanisms: “onboarding violence”\, w
	here algorithms and digital\nmedia normalise violent content through const
	ant exposure\; and “outsourcing\nviolence”\, where emerging technologies d
	emocratise access to harmful tools.\n\nDrawing on recent research on gun c
	ontrol\, AI‐enabled weapons and 3D‐printed\nfirearms\, Castellanos-Jankiew
	icz shows how technological change outpaces\nhumanity’s moral capacity to 
	adapt. He turns to Latin America\, where\nU.S.-manufactured guns fuel regi
	onal violence amplified by digital means\,\ncreating grounds for strategic
	 litigation against manufacturers and online\nplatforms over transboundary
	 harms. Cases from Mexico and other countries\nexemplify approaches to cor
	porate accountability\, challenging liability shields\nby documenting how 
	negligent distribution and wilful blindness to trafficking\npatterns desta
	bilise the region.\n\nCastellanos-Jankiewicz's presentation concludes by a

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:What happens when our phones, feeds, and algor
	ithms quietly make extreme violence feel normal and deadly tools easier to
	 build than ever? This talk introduces “permaviolence”, tracing how digita

	res bold legal strategies from Latin America that aim to hold tech giants 
	and gun manufacturers accountable for cross-border, digitally enabled viol
	ence today.       <p>León Castellanos-Jankiewicz, senior researcher in int
	ernational law, introduces “permaviolence”, a concept describing the unpre
	cedented ubiquity of harm in contemporary society mediated by digital tech
	nology. Permaviolence operates through two mechanisms: “onboarding violenc
	e”, where algorithms and digital media normalise violent content through c
	onstant exposure; and “outsourcing violence”, where emerging technologies 
	democratise access to harmful tools.</p> <p>Drawing on recent research on 
	gun control, AI‐enabled weapons and 3D‐printed firearms, Castellanos-Janki
	ewicz shows how technological change outpaces humanity’s moral capacity to
	 adapt. He turns to Latin America, where U.S.-manufactured guns fuel regio
	nal violence amplified by digital means, creating grounds for strategic li
	tigation against manufacturers and online platforms over transboundary har
