The workplace is changing, this is now undeniable. But how is it changing? In the second in a special series in association with Prospect, the leading British union for professional skilled workers co-hosts Julia Hobsbawm and Stefan Stern look at issues from desks to rights and regions with Alison McGovern MP, Shadow Employment Minister, and Member of Parliament for Wirral South, Adrian Wooldridge, Bloomberg's Global Business Columnist, as well as Hafsa Begum, Prospect's Head of Finance and Estates who takes us on a tour of the next generation trade union building, and once again perspective from Prospect's Andrew Pakes, Deputy General Secretary and Director of Communications and Research and celebrated barrister Jamie Susskind of 11KBW chambers.

At the heart of trade union negotiation around work and workplace issues is the resolution of conflict, not the escalation of it. What really happens in sensitive negotiations like this? And how much has the world of work become a conflict zone for rights in the post-pandemic workplace? This is the first in a special series in association with Prospect, the leading British union for professional skilled workers. Co-Hosts Julia Hobsbawm and Stefan Stern dive deep with Mike Clancy, Prospect's General Secretary and Andrew Pakes, Deputy General Secretary plus guests Sarah O'Connor of the Financial Times and barrister Jamie Susskind.

They are the result of our failure to govern technology properly. The Digital Republic charts a new course. It offers a plan for the digital age: new legal standards, new public bodies and institutions, new duties on platforms, new rights and regulators, new codes of conduct for people in the tech industry. Inspired by the great political essays of the past, and steeped in the traditions of republican thought, it offers a vision of a different type of society: a digital republic in which human and technological flourishing go hand in hand. Jamie Susskind is a barrister and the author of the award-winning bestseller Future Politics: Living Together in a World Transformed by Tech (Oxford University Press, 2018), which received the Estoril Global Issues Distinguished Book Prize 2019, and was an Evening Standard and Prospect Book of the Year. He has fellowships at Harvard and Cambridge and currently lives in London. Austin Clyde is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Chicago Department of Computer Science.

In this conversation I talk to Jamie Susskind, barrister, speaker and award-winning author of Future Politics: Living Together in a World Transformed by Tech. We discuss the trends that are changing civilization, what we need to consider about a future where artificial intelligence and tech have transformed the way we live and the need for clarity through laws and regulation.

It is one of the most important questions of our time: how will digital technology transform society and the way we govern? There is no doubt that technological advances have transformed our lives for the better. There is little doubt too, argues bestselling author Jamie Susskind, that digital systems have the potential to control us. In his ground-breaking analysis, Future Politics: Living Together in a World Transformed by Tech, Susskind calls for a fundamental change in the way we think about politics in the digital age. Reminding us of the very real ability of digital technology to shape the way we think, feel and behave, Susskind puts forward a clear warning: those who control these technologies will increasingly control us all.

As Theresa May bows to the inevitable and asks for a short delay to Brexit, we ask what it’ll mean when a merciful EU insists on rather a longer one. Do the hard Brexit headbangers have what it takes to bring her down or are the ERG now fatally split? Were the Lab-Con talks just about optics? What is “perfidious Albion” anyway? And when a Hansard survey says a great many Britons would be happy with a “strongman who breaks the rules”, do we really have to worry about Britain falling into the hands of our own Orbán, Bolsanaro or Trump? Our special guest this week is barrister and writer JAMIE SUSSKIND, author of the fascinating exploration of the digitally-dominated society we’ll all be living in. Listen and find out why, in the age of Big Data and AI, Brexit is the last thing you need to worry about. Hey, you didn’t come to this show to be cheered up now, did you?

As our technological capabilities expand, humanity finds ourselves confronting one of the most important questions of our time: how will digital technology transform our society? Author and speaker Jamie Susskind steps up to Town Hall’s stage to address this pressing question with perspectives from his book Future Politics: Living Together in a World Transformed by Tech. Susskind argued that rapid and relentless innovation in a range of technologies—from artificial intelligence to virtual reality—will increasingly control us if left unchecked, setting the limits of our liberty and defining what is forbidden. He called for a fundamental change in the way we think about politics as informed by inexorably advancing technologies (and their controllers) that will come to hold great power over us. Some will gather data about our lives, causing us to avoid conduct perceived as shameful, sinful, or wrong. Others will filter our perception of the world, choosing what we know, affecting how we feel, and shaping what we think. Susskind called us together for a critical discussion of what it means for a political system to be just or democratic under the shadow of a digital-first era—and a meditation on the ways in which we can, and must, regain control. Recorded live at The Summit by Town Hall Seattle on Monday, October 22, 2018.

There are three major technological developments that are transforming the way we live, says Jamie Susskind: increasingly capable systems, increasingly integrated technology, and increasingly quantified society. With these we are moving into the "digital lifeworld," which is basically a different stage of human existence. What will these momentous changes mean for the future of politics and society--i.e. how we order our collective lives?

Cisco and other industry leaders estimate that the Internet of Things (the “IoT”) has the potential to inject trillions of dollars of value over the next decade into both the public and private sectors. It holds tremendous promise to transform and improve our lives, generating unprecedented opportunities in the way we govern and are governed, the way we do business, and the way we manage our daily activities. We stand at the cusp of an era in which everything from cars to cows can be given an Internet address and connected to the IoT network. -- This rapid expansion of new technologies and capabilities brings new technical, legal, and policy challenges to the forefront. The IoT has undoubtedly caught the attention of federal policy makers, as demonstrated by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s (“NTIA”) recent request for comments. There are many potential touchpoints in the IoT ecosystem for regulators and policymakers, from addressing spectrum requirements to ensuring the security of systems to establishing data protection frameworks. Unfortunately, the risk of overregulating or promulgating inconsistent regulations runs high. -- Our experts discussed the current and future regulatory landscape of the IoT. Is the NTIA’s proceeding a harbinger for more regulation in this nascent space? What is the correct framework to ensure the successful deployment of the IoT? Is there any role for government? What policy decisions could make or break the evolution of the IoT? -- Featuring: Neil Chilson, Attorney-Advisor to Commissioner Maureen Ohlhausen, Federal Trade Commission; Jamie Susskind, Legislative Counsel, Senator Deb Fischer; and Eric Wenger, Director for Cybersecurity and Privacy Policy, Global Government Affairs, Cisco. Moderator: Kelly A. Donohue, Partner, Wilkinson Barker Knauer LLP.
