ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Dr. Daniel Munro: Challenging Technology that Enforces Bias

We’re often told that improving our digital skills will help keep us safe online. Yet managing the risks we face has less to do with our own know-how than with the way technology is designed.


Philosopher and public policy analyst Dr. Daniel Munro stresses the importance of reexamining digital infrastructures and challenging tech makers to create a safer, fairer digital world by confronting harmful content and algorithmic bias.


Dr. Munro spoke at The Walrus Talks Digital Skills in Toronto on June 6, 2023.
