Vandaag worden onze levens mee vormgegeven door enkele van de machtigste spelers ter wereld: bedrijven waarvoor niemand ooit heeft gestemd. Via sociale media, zoekmachines en AI-toepassingen be\u00efnvloedt Big Tech in toenemende mate welke informatie ons bereikt en hoe we de wereld begrijpen. Nu zoveel macht geconcentreerd is in de handen van een beperkt aantal mondiale technologiebedrijven, rijst de vraag hoeveel controle democratische samenlevingen nog hebben over hun eigen toekomst.<br \/>\nDe wedloop rond AI maakt die vraag alleen maar dringender. Overheden en technologiebedrijven benadrukken dat we de race niet mogen verliezen. Maar wie bepaalt wat winnen betekent? En als technologische ontwikkelingen de samenleving een richting uitsturen die we niet wenselijk vinden, hebben we dan nog de macht om een andere koers te kiezen?<br \/>\nOm deze vragen te verkennen brengen VUB en Flagey David Van Reybrouck, Diana Mangalagiu en Paul Verhagen samen. David Van Reybrouck is schrijver en pleitbezorger van democratische vernieuwing. Diana Mangalagiu (University of Oxford) doet onderzoek naar de maatschappelijke en ecologische impact van technologische verandering. Paul Verhagen is auteur van The Techtonic Shift en expert op het vlak van de geopolitieke macht van Big Tech. Onder leiding van Kasper Goethals (De Standaard) gaan zij in gesprek over wie de toekomst bepaalt en wat er daarbij op het spel staat voor de democratie.<\/p>\n<p>De Caroline Pauwels Lectures geven vooraanstaande denkers, wetenschappers en opiniemakers een podium. Topsprekers delen hun inzichten en gaan in dialoog met het publiek over de grote maatschappelijke vraagstukken van vandaag. Caroline Pauwels (1964-2022) is voormalig rector van de VUB en was een invloedrijke pleitbezorger van kritisch denken, open dialoog en authentieke verwondering.<br \/>\nIn 2026-2027 worden de Caroline Pauwels Lectures gerealiseerd in partnership met cultuurhuis Flagey en met VUB-historicus en expert geopolitiek Koert Debeuf als curator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wie beslist over onze toekomst?
