CPH_Lab_S3. Rethinking Big/Tech: Big Tech Culpability

Have you ever wondered how Google, Uber, Amazon and Facebook get away with so much, with so little consequence? Or, as our guest this week calls it, “the paradox of Big Tech's small liabilities”?

In our first full episode of Season 3 of the Copenhagen Legal/Tech Lab Podcast, we dive deep into the world of Big Tech culpability with Associate Professor Julia Powles, Director of the UWA Tech & Policy Lab at the University of Western Australia Law School.

🌐 Join us in exploring Associate Professor Powles’ work on the challenges of holding the tech giants to account as she discusses her latest work, ‘The Corporate Culpability of Big Tech’, in Professor Elise Bant’s powerful new edited collection, “The Culpable Corporate Mind” (Bloomsbury, 2023).

🔍 Learn more about the limited ways in which technology firms have traditionally been scrutinised, and how Bant’s model of ‘systems intentionality’ unlocks a richly expansive pathway for bringing these companies to justice.

👉 Tune in now and join the conversation!

What would change if the systematic recklessness of Big Tech was put on trial? How would it reorder the tech ecosystem, if the liabilities of Big Tech matched its true impacts? Share your thoughts in the comments below! 🗣️

Host for this episode: Dr. Alexandra Andhov, Founder and Director of the Copenhagen Legal/Tech Lab at the University of Copenhagen, Faculty of Law.

A big thanks again to our guest for this episode, Associate Professor Julia Powles, and a shoutout to our supporters: Carlsberg Foundation, Independent Research Fund Denmark.
