Episode 24: Technology and Society

We sit down with Max-Beverton Palmer, Head of Tech and Society at Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, to discuss his work helping policy-makers address challenges around the world. Max wanted you all to know that the world has clearly changed a lot since this podcast was recorded, but the political and technology principles discussed haven’t. The Institute Max works for has pivoted to tackling the crisis. You can find more here, and two reports on how we use tech to get through the current crisis: Digital Policy for a Lockdown: How Tech Can Help Us Adapt to a Radically Altered World A Price Worth Paying: Tech, Privacy and the Fight Against Covid-19   EPISODE LINKS Max on Twitter Narratives of Hate: The Spectrum of Far-right Worldviews in the UK Diversify by June Sarpong The Bretton Woods Conference, 1944 Sky parental control design
