<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/jurgen-habermass-legacy-for-critical-media-and-communication-studies-tickets-2000630362269>*

/How relevant are Habermas’s key categories today for understanding the 
digital and communicative landscapes of contemporary society – including 
the rise of far-right movements, high levels of inequality, political 
polarisation, wars, environmental crisis, disinformation campaigns, 
digital capitalism, platform fascism, algorithmic and AI-based control, 
and challenges to the existence of public service media?/

*Governing for Humans: A people-centred vision for AI & the internet*

*Dr Vincent Obia* (University of Sheffield)

Thursday, December 3  •  5 PM - 7 PM | *REGISTER HERE 
<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/governing-for-humans-a-people-centred-vision-for-ai-the-internet-tickets-2000636596917>*

/In whose vision of technology are we living? Platform governance and AI 
policy across Africa highlights regulatory imaginaries that intersect 
with governance principles in other parts of the world, in order to 
shape norms and policies that challenge Big Tech’s hegemonic vision and 
reinstate agency for people, movements, and communities./
