Internet Shutdowns: 10 Years of Fighting to Keep the World Connected

10 Years of #KeepItOn: Documenting the Global Fight Against Internet Shutdowns

For a decade, Access Now’s #KeepItOn campaign has been documenting and fighting government-led internet shutdowns around the world.

Lawyer less Contracts: When AI Starts Making Our Legal Deals

AI is changing the way contracts are created — but what happens when it moves beyond writing them and starts negotiating them too?

The programme is presented by Ania Lichtarowicz.
