Think Big! Tech Bros and AI-Revolution

Panel

Aya Jaff, Fritz Espenlaub, Wolfgang Ullrich

The tech elite dreams of a lean state, experiments with AI, and turns politics into memes. What once seemed like a fringe phenomenon is rapidly gaining influence. Tech-bro experts Aya Jaff and Fritz Espenlaub explore together with cultural theorist Wolfgang Ullrich whether we are heading toward a «memocracy» in which morality no longer plays any role and algorithms and images wield more power than parliaments. How close does this bring our world to the dystopias once imagined by Aldous Huxley?

With Aya Jaff, Fritz Espenlaub, Wolfgang Ullrich 
Moderated by Eva Wolfangel
