When Digital Becomes Political

We shape our tools and thereafter they shape us – John Culkin (1967) 

We are delighted to invite you to a fireside chat with Jamie Susskind, barrister, author, and leading thinker on the transformative impact of the digital revolution, in a discussion with Lokke Moerel, senior counsel at Morrison Foerster and professor of global technology & law.

This conversation will look beyond risk management and compliance issues posed by new digital technologies to address the strategic questions and existential challenges now facing general counsel, boards, and regulators alike.

They will discuss:

• How digital technologies reshape human behavior and impact power dynamics at all levels of society.
• Whether current EU regulation strategies will effectively address the core issues raised by these new technologies or if the impact will be so fundamental that it will trigger a rethink of the very structure of society and governance of companies.
• The changes that may be required within companies.
• How the role of boards will advance in pursuing technological progress without compromising fundamental human agency.

And be prepared as they preview some new paths of friction emerging on the horizon, which they suspect will lead to the next chapter on the global stage.

The discussion will be candid, forward-looking, and aimed at general counsel, compliance, and other leaders focused on long-term risk and strategic decision-making in an era of accelerating technological change.

We hope to see you there.
