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.
