About this course
In recent years, scholars have increasingly pointed out the ways in which large technology firms, social media platforms, and AI have fueled democratic backsliding and provided the data infrastructure and informatic platforms for war, violence, and ethnic cleansing around the world. Various names have been proposed for the conjuncture of Big Tech and the rise of authoritarian regimes: technocapitalism, technofeudalism, digital authoritarianism, technofascism, and others.
