September 8A little bit about us
Hello and welcome to Bot Populi! We are an alternative media platform dedicated to looking at all things digital from a social justice and Global South perspective. We aim to meaningfully shape the public discourse on digitalization and prompt important conversations about transformative change for a better digital future.
To this end, we explore how the digital world affects different aspects of our lives in obvious and unexpected ways. Our contributors include passionate and committed scholars, activists, and visionaries from around the world working on issues of digital justice.
DataSyn
In this issue, DataSyn zeroes in on some of the potentially transformative developments taking place in the tech sector that have escaped the limelight. Our essays assess how synthetic data can be key to recalibrating the data and AI landscape; deep dive into the geopolitical implications of Latin America’s rapid integration into China’s digital value chains; and examine the rising trend of virtual influencers. We also bring you an important cross-post from Global Data Justice on the UN Committee on World Food Security.
Sections
Engage with our diverse thematic tracks examining various facets of our digital world. We explore labor issues in the digital economy, provide critiques of corporate excess and surveillance capitalism, examine feminist issues in the online sphere, investigate developments in AI and tech policy, and much more.
