Noile elite digitale, acceleraționismul și perspectiva unei monarhii tehnologice

Digital technologies are eroding democracy and empowering authoritarian regimes, as highlighted by Professor Corneliu Bjola during his conference at UPA. He discussed the dual nature of technology, which can both democratize and manipulate. The rise of a new digital elite, exemplified by figures like Peter Thiel, influences political and economic dynamics, often undermining democratic processes. Bjola emphasized the need to rethink the relationship between technology and democracy, especially in light of increasing polarization and misinformation online.
