Part 2/2 : Technology, Collective Intelligence and
Political Resilience with Audrey Tang, Former Taiwanese
Minister


Audrey Tang is Taiwan's former Minister of
Digital Affairs and now serves as its cyber ambassador. A
self-taught hacker and Taoist thinker, she found herself at the
heart of a unique democratic experiment in a country under
constant geopolitical pressure.


Why do our democracies seem so fragile today, when we have never
had so much information and so many communication tools at our
disposal?


Mistrust, polarization, a sense of collective powerlessness.


Beyond parties and leaders, it is perhaps our way of producing
meaning and making decisions together that is faltering, in an
ecosystem dominated by private platforms and now by artificial
intelligence.


In Taiwan, another path has been explored: viewing democracy as a
living system, capable of learning, listening, and evolving, even
under pressure from disinformation and cyberattacks.


In this episode, we talk about technology, emotions, collective
intelligence, and trust.


And what democracy could become if we fundamentally rethink the
way we connect with each other.
