Professor Alice Mattoni's talk, From Bytes to Action: the Promise and Perils of Digital Technologies in Combating Corruption Worldwide, will be held on 21 September 2023 at the Science, Peace, Security '23 conference.
In her talk, the BIT-ACT Principal Investigator will shed light on the ways in which grassroots movements are using digital technologies to promote integrity in their societies and pave the way for a more accountable world. She will explore the transformative potential of digital technologies in the grassroots fight against corruption through compelling real-world case studies and stories of anti-corruption activism around the world.
Mattoni will present a typology of anti-corruption technologies, discuss their opportunities and examine the challenges they pose to civil society organisations. She will also analyse their impact on democracy and civic engagement, highlighting the democratic ideals embedded in these technologies and their role in redefining citizenship and promoting active participation in society.
The SPS23: Science, Peace, Security '23 conference is dedicated to technical and scientific peace and conflict research. Topics range from artificial intelligence to cyber-attacks and (nuclear) arms control, addressing the transformation of technologies and their role in war, conflict and arms control.
