Roland Kulke, Brussels representative of ‘Transform Europe’, European network for alternative thinking and political dialogue, has called for a public approach to digital technology including infrastructure and an open access data policy to resolve the inequality and social injustice existing in the digital world.
He was speaking at a keynote session on ‘Equity and social justice in a digital world’ on the second day of the ‘Freedom Fest 2023: Knowledge, Innovation, Technology’ event organised by various organisations promoting the concept of knowledge freedom, with the support of the State government.
“A collaborative technical competence and public planning is required to ensure social justice in the electronic world. Strong co-determination within the enterprises is also needed which can be achieved with trade unions,” he pointed out.
