AI will still be seen for a long time as a legacy of George Orwell by many people. How could governments change this? #techpol20w8

What better way to end 2020 than with a blog about facial recognition and algorithmic bias drawing on the work of our brilliant alum @ghaziahamat and the new @CDEIUK report on algorithmic bias #techpol20w8 https://t.co/zFJUR6ffsg

Great News! The UK is one of the first country to announce a concrete green recovery plan. This is a good sign of hope! However, one aspect is missing: consumption. Without addressing this issue as well, the plan will not be optimal! #techpol20w7

This week we consider the UK Government's 10-point plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, whether it is better to acknowledge tradeoffs between energy and the environment and bans on diesel and petrol cars #techpol20w7 https://t.co/iFZuGPJ33s

This is a great news for the world. However, it is also going to bring some friction points for governments. What should they do with people who don’t want to be vaccinated? #techpol20w6

[TechPolicyatCambridge @TechPolicyMPhil]

This week, we have seen a genuine breakthrough with the announcement of the Pfizer vaccine. There are, of course, a number of important challenges and uncertainties, which we explore in #techpol20w6 https://t.co/t3P4gmZYS0

I truly think that both firms and governments will protect more and more our data. Trust is becoming one of the most important criteria in customer choices and data protection is directly linked with that issue. #techpol20w5

[TechPolicyatCambridge @TechPolicyMPhil]

How safe is our data? How should firms and governments respond? Usually, we worry about hackers and cybercrime, but sometimes firms simply make (big) mistakes! #techpol20w5 https://t.co/cum99g5S9b

Covid-19 provides government the possibility to rebuilt more sustainable institutions and to incite people to become more responsible about environmental issues. Let’s capitalise on it ! #techpol20w4

[TechPolicyatCambridge @TechPolicyMPhil]

This week we consider the differential outcomes we have seen to date and the role that institutions have played in the crisis and may play in the recovery going forward #techpol20w4 https://t.co/3foQ3Qi8xW

“Two decades ago, Google became the darling of Silicon Valley as a scrappy startup with an innovative way to search the emerging internet. That Google is long gone” https://t.co/cEGOZ7PJyn

There has been a growing willingness for leading governments to (try to) rein in Big Tech and this week saw the US DOJ file suit against Google (with rare bipartisan support) #techpol20w3 https://t.co/C34OuSiQNI

People tend to be more and more suspicious about medias and start to develop an interest for pure facts informations. This is why, in France for example, we have seen success stories of facts newsletters start-ups. #techpol20w2

[TechPolicyatCambridge @TechPolicyMPhil]

Rather than remaining narrowly within the domain of scientific and regulatory disputes, combating misinformation and disinformation have increasingly (?) moved into the domains of national and international politics #techpol20w2 https://t.co/SQ8gjlctk0

@Bryanhastweeter @TechPolicyMPhil @EarthshotPrize The advertisement doesn’t amplify the change we need. Our environmental impact is a serious issue that must be taken into consideration. This prize is a good idea even if it doesn’t take into account the solutions we could find today without technology breakthrough. #techpol20w1

@CJBSInfoLib @TechPolicyMPhil Excited to start this new experience in Cambridge!
