How is algorithmic governance transforming the state—and what does this mean for democracy?
In his lecture, Matías Bianchi explores how data-driven technologies, artificial intelligence, and automated decision-making are reshaping sovereignty, citizenship, and political power. Drawing on his book Tuesday State vs. Algorithm, he examines the growing role of algorithmic systems in public administration and asks whether they can make governance more efficient—or whether they risk undermining democratic values, transparency, and individual autonomy.
