Description
The 2023 DSAI Annual Conference invites you to examine tech optimism and tech pessimism: how does the Irish international development sector of NGO practitioners, aid donors and academics balance their views regarding the potential for technology to contribute to an improvement in people’s education, health, welfare and reduced inequality, while being cognizant of the negative, unequal, occasionally criminal and anti-democratic influences of technology? How can ICT be designed, developed, implemented, and scaled in socially, culturally, politically, and ethically appropriate ways which address the SDGs? How can the implementation of systems designed to surveil and control populations be prevented?
