The papers explore a wide range of issues, from the environmental impacts of digitalised daily life to the possibilities of ‘good’ Generative AI in the cultural and creative industries, to examining more closely what we mean by a ‘good digital society’.
Among the papers is one authored by Lecturer Dr Kate Miltner, with Dr Tim Highfield from the Department of Sociological Studies. Their paper focuses on "good" uses of generative AI in the cultural & creative industries.
Alongside the papers is an introductory summary that provides a thematic overview of the papers and points to how we might conceptualise the principles that underpin these diverse visions of a good digital society.
This series of discussion papers is part of the British Academy’s Digital Society policy programme, which draws upon the ‘SHAPE’ disciplines to explore the ways in which digital technologies, tools, and practices shape and are shaped by our society, and how policymakers can navigate the digital society in the coming decade.
