The new Trump era

As global liberal frameworks face increasing scrutiny,  technology will become crucial in shaping discourse in a post-liberal  society. This panel will examine the role of digital platforms including artificial intelligence (AI), and data-driven systems in redefining community, authority, and individual agency. Key questions include: How can post-liberal principles address the challenges of technological centralisation and surveillance? What role should technology play in fostering localism, shared values, and the common good? Through rigorous debate, the panel will propose alternative frameworks for a tech-driven world, emphasising meaning, connection, and justice over individualism and market-driven progress.
