Description

Television, radio, and daily newspapers were the dominant media formats for information and opinion formation in the past. With the advent of the internet, this offering has expanded immensely and become more intertwined. We are now facing another change, as generative artificial intelligence enables a synthetic and highly personalised form of creating and conveying information and communication. What do these changes in the digital public sphere mean for societal discourse?

Upgrade Democracy

Democracy is changing, not least in digital spaces. We mustn’t passively standby but get active. It is time for an upgrade for public discourse (societal level), infrastructures (systemic level), and foresight capabilities (political level). In our project “Upgrade Democracy”, we build bridges between diverse, international actors and disseminate solutions that successfully counter disinformation in their respective contexts and/or innovatively use digital tools to strengthen democracy.
