Who Owns the Truth? – Ars Electronica Festival Podcast

In a data-driven world where the influence of big data and algorithms extends to various facets of our lives, urgent questions regarding the nature of truth and its portrayal through data arise. While they have the potential to reveal and analyze patterns, providing deep insights into complex systems, from individual behaviors to societal structures, these patterns do not always encompass 'the truth'. They are inherently shaped by the way data is collected, analyzed, and interpreted.
Against this backdrop, it is crucial to consider avenues for the democratization of information, ensuring that knowledge and information are widely disseminated and accessible in a digital world, rather than being concentrated solely in the hands of a few powerful actors.
