Surveillance Capitalism or Digital Responsibility
Embracing technologies such as artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, algorithms and large scale data collection in a responsible way, is essential for both government and the private sector. Understanding the potential and the pitfalls of these new technologies is important for success.
The Research Centre for Government IT and DI invite stakeholders in government and the private sector to an event on the topic of responsible digitalisation.

The magazine strategy+business hailed Zuboff as one of the world’s eleven most original business thinkers.
Shoshana Zuboff’s latest book, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power, has received exceptional reviews:
"… groundbreaking, magisterial, … unmissable.” – Financial Times
"This book's major contribution is to give a name to what's happening, to put it in cultural and historical perspective, and to ask us to pause long enough to think about the future and how it might be different from today." – Wall Street Journal
“A bold, important book ... Combining in-depth technical understanding and a broad, humanistic scope, Zuboff has written what may prove to be the first definitive account of the economic - and thus social and political - condition of our age. – The Guardian
"… intensively researched, engagingly written … This is the rare book that we should trust to lead us down the long hard road of understanding." ― New York Times Book Review
