Data, algorithms, media and humans with Genevieve Bell

What does it mean to be human in the digital era? And to be Australian?  We spoke to the 2017 Boyer Lecturer, Professor Genevieve Bell, about how we live in world ruled by data and algorithms.

Bell is one of the world's top technologists and the head of the Australian National University's Autonomy, Agency and Assurance Institute.  Learn more about your ad choices.
