About
Digital Society Lab at the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, University of Belgrade explores the impact of information and communication technologies on society, politics, economy, industry, culture, and art practices, examining how the processes of ubiquitous digitalization affect and transform all aspects of our lives on both the individual and collective level.
Emerge Forum
DigiLab’s annual event is EMERGE: Digital Society Now, which connects actors from the tech industry, policy makers, and academic researchers in discussing the social and economic impact of emerging technologies.
Belgrade Digital Freedom Pledge
At the Emerge Forum on the Future of AI-Driven Humanity in December 2022, a group of scientists and representatives from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) signed the Belgrade Digital Freedom Pledge. This pledge aims to spark global conversations about proclaiming AI recommender algorithms utilized by large online platforms as public goods and recognizing digital identity as a human right, among other topics.
