About the project:
While experts have focused on the changes technology and artificial intelligence are having on our mental development, our economy and jobs, and even the survival of the entire human race, there has been less analysis of what the changes mean for our civic ideals and the political philosophy underpinning our understandings of citizenship. Given the fast-paced changes underway in our technological environment, correct laws are a necessary, yet insufficient, part of challenging the harms of tech dominance. The project invites reflection on our civic relationship to technology, asking what normative civic ideals can be brought to bear in value-shaping our journey through technological disruption. What would the ideal citizen look like over the next 100 year period?
