   This panel brought up very interesting topics, but tbh I felt the way 'the digital' is addressed is as inevitable and necessary, and somehow universal. It also keeps on a very precise idea on what 'the digital' is doesn't consider non-Western ontologies. That will need a deeper discussion and I need to reflect more on it. I leave it here for today.

   For more critical discussion on #tech I suggest @parismarx #podcast

     Artificial Intelligence and Automation worsen the already existing dynamics of digital exclusion regarding:
     - social benefits
     - travel
     - work
     - school
     - mental health

     (I'd love if we could also stop call it #AI. #SALAMI is so much better)

     'The Industry has an obligation that their services do not harm our human rights'

     'To point to the tech companies as the only actors is looking just on one side of the coin' as governments keeps enabling them and profiting from certain models for their own gains.
