The Equality Machine – Book Presentation and Discussion

At a time when AI and digital platforms are under fire, Orly Lobel defends technology as a powerful tool we can harness to achieve equality and a better future.

Much has been written about the challenges tech presents to equality and democracy. In her book Orly Lobel makes a compelling argument that while we cannot stop technological development, we can direct its course according to our most fundamental values. Her vivid examples—from labor markets to dating markets—provide powerful evidence for how we can harness technology for good.
 

We cordially invite you to the book’s presentation and discussion with the author on March 26^th, 4pm in the main hall of the Weizenbaum Institute. Hardenbergstraße 32, 10623 Berlin. No registration necessary.
