Open Lab Evening: Five-Star Society

What, and in what form, should a society based on solidarity and sustainability reward – and where do surveillance, paternalism and injustice begin?

Algorithms that assess, reward and penalise individual behaviour: whilst this may initially sound like a surveillance state, it could raise the question of whether socially desirable behaviour can be promoted more fairly and flexibly through a social credit system than through penalties and taxes.

Together, in the Open Lab, you will explore the question of what behaviour a society based on solidarity and sustainability should reward, what such incentives might look like, and what data could be used for this purpose. And above all: where are the boundaries – when do incentives become paternalism, assessments become surveillance, and supposed justice give rise to new injustices?
