Description

Being fired is bad enough, but how can we ensure that algorithms used in management, which could have such power, are fair and respect workers' rights? This week, we are really excited to be joined by Aislynn Kelly-Lyth, a researcher at the University of Oxford, to discuss the EU's attempts to grapple with both this problem and the gig economy.

From biotech to autonomous vehicles, the current rate of technological change is breath-taking. This speed is not, however, matched in broader conversations about their ethical, political, and legal implications, which lag far behind. In our Tech Society is a weekly podcast with experts on exactly those kinds of questions.
