DESCRIPTION:Can we fix the internet? Once\, the internet was decentralized 
	and publicly\nowned. Now\, a handful of major companies determine what we 
	see\, like\, and share.\nWith Britt Paris\, we discuss the politics of the
	 internet.\n\nFrom social media feeds and AI systems to data centres and u
	ndersea cables\, the\ndigital world is built on infrastructures that shape
	 how information flows\, who\ngets heard and who holds power. American res
	earcher Britt Paris\, author of\nRadical Infrastructure: Imagining the Int
	ernet from the Ground Up\, examines the\narchitecture of power embedded in
	 the internet. What happens when essential\nparts of public life become de
	pendent on private platforms?\n\nThe evening includes an artistic intermez
	zo by Jen Liu\, whose work investigates\nthe relationship between technolo
	gy\, labour and global systems of power.\n\nAbout Techdenkers\n\nTechnolog
	y has become an inseparable part of our lives\, but do we take enough\ntim
	e to reflect on that? In Techdenkers\, we examine technological innovation
	\nthrough an ethical lens. What impact will the rise of AI have on our liv
	es? How\ncan we use technology to help solve the climate crisis? And do we
	 want\nalgorithms to determine who we choose as our partners?\n\nThe Techd
