Interviewed by Maria Leptin.
In a year when citizens will cast their votes in elections across the world we’re turning our attention to the art and science of democracy and decision-making.
Democratic societies rely on fact-based world views and science, but also on narratives that can bring together large, diverse communities. At a time when democracies are straining to cope with ongoing crises and long-term existential challenges this topic is more important than ever.
Join us as we explore the role that fact and fiction play in democracies including:
- The role of science and fact-based worldviews in society: How can research and independent, quality media contribute to better governance and decision-making?
- The power of narratives in democracy: What is the influence of storytelling and narratives in shaping political ideologies and public opinion?
- Shocks to democracy: Social media and partisan media have been disruptive forces within democracies. A new wave of disruption may be on its way. How will artificial intelligence influence democracy?
- New narratives for healthy societies: What are the new narratives gaining traction in societies? Why are they emerging?
Speakers include Nobel Prize laureates Ben Feringa, Paul Nurse and Maria Ressa, Oleksandra Matviichuk, Head of Center for Civil Liberties, recipient of the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize as well as other experts such as Demis Hassabis, CEO DeepMind, and European Research Council grantees Michael Bruter and Emilie Caspar.
The Nobel Prize Dialogue Brussels is produced by Nobel Prize Outreach in partnership with the European Research Council.

True, technological advancements are very important for improving the standards of living, it is good that we are hopeful for the development of AI. But how do we ensure the safety of the users, I love what the VP of the EU said, let us not create clusters of people because it polarizes and erase individuality. I love this channel, thank you for keeping us informed.

Just starting this one up. Can't wait. ;) huge fan of several of the speakers and looking forward to learning more for the others I am not familiar with. These types of ocnversations are perfect for our flashbacks to early 21st century in our graphic novel series (Gaia's Seed). May comment again after with some thoughts and highlights. Cheers

The translation of the language when I prepare it in my own language, after I write it again, the translation first gives you a brief translation, after you pause three or two times, it gives you the results of what you are looking for in your native language, so that tactic should be played.

Excellent expression by EU democracy angle

The idea of labeling artifacts produced by AI is relevant, important, but barely enforceable on all actors and especially malefactors as long as open source exists.
