Public Service: Yaël Eisenstat Tackles the Intersection of Ethics, Tech, and Democracy

In this special edition of ”Technically Human,” we feature a live public conversation about the future of democracy, technology, and public policy. In 2017, Yaël Eisenstat came onboard Facebook to change it, joining the company as its Global Head of Elections Integrity Operations. What she discovered while working there alarmed her. She started speaking out, becoming a leading critic of tech’s threat to democracy.In this conversation, I sit down with Yaël in front of a live audience to ask: ＞How can American Democracy persevere in the age of social media? ＞Why does tech need regulation? ＞Who can reign in Big Tech? ＞What can we do to help?
