The article specifically examines how technology companies can coerce, influence or incentivise the resort-to-force decision making of smaller states, thereby challenging traditional notions of state sovereignty and international security. 6/7

It argues that, as technology companies amass unprecedented control over digital infrastructure and information flows, most nation states – particularly smaller or less technologically advanced ones – experience diminished autonomy in decisions to use force. 5/7

The article identifies three critical factors that collectively alter the calculus of war: (i) the concentration of power across the architectures of AI, (ii) the diffusion of national security decision making, and (iii) the role of AI in shaping public opinion. 4/7

It demonstrates how these architectures concentrate power within a select number of technology companies, which increasingly function as national security actors capable of influencing state decisions on the resort to force. 3/7

Conceptualising AI as part of a broader, interconnected technology ecosystem encompassing data, connectivity, energy, compute capacity and workforce, it introduces the notion of “architectures of AI” to describe the underlying infrastructure shaping contemporary security and sovereignty. 2/7

Information overload: Can we keep our minds and our democracy? Algorithms and echo chambers are fracturing Australian society, but the democratic discourse hasn’t switched off yet.

Information overload: Can we keep our minds and our democracy? Algorithms and echo chambers are fracturing Australian society, but the democratic discourse hasn’t switched off yet.

Australia is not immune to these global forces. But with (comparatively) robust institutions and willingness to adapt and challenge, we have the potential to forge our own path.

Information overload: Can we keep our minds and our democracy? Algorithms and echo chambers are fracturing Australian society, but the democratic discourse hasn’t switched off yet.

Why does this matter? * Our democracy depends on the integrity of information. * Algorithmic curation and personalised information feeds are fragmenting our shared understanding and amplifying division. * We have a narrow window to act.

Information overload: Can we keep our minds and our democracy? Algorithms and echo chambers are fracturing Australian society, but the democratic discourse hasn’t switched off yet.

In my latest piece, I examine how the collapse of a common and shared reality is threatening our ability to govern, deliberate, and make informed decisions. From AI-driven disinformation to the concentration of power in a handful of platforms, the stakes have never been higher.

Information overload: Can we keep our minds and our democracy? Algorithms and echo chambers are fracturing Australian society, but the democratic discourse hasn’t switched off yet.

Can We Keep Our Minds—and Democracy? We are living through a profound transformation in how information shapes our world. The shared facts and institutional trust that once underpinned our democracy are being replaced by an environment driven by algorithmic curation, polarisation, and manipulation.

This is the core of it. In the 20th century, verification happened inside institutions.
Now, it has to happen in us.
A short thread on what that shift really means, and why it has to start in schools. 🧵

Technology and Security is brought to you by Strat Futures Pty Limited. It has a distinctly Australian flavour with a global audience. 70% of listeners are from Australia, followed by USA, UK and a strong global following with listeners on every continent and from most countries. 5/

It also covers why algorithmic transparency is key to security and why interactive and non-linear complexity are underappreciated interdependencies of AI. Listen to the full episode (Season 03 Episode 05) wherever you get your pods and l 4/

From code to command, the conversation explores the relationships between human decision-makers and machines. It explores why leadership–and human decision-making–is key in technology. Poor human decision making and inappropriate use of technology drives harmful outcomes. 3/
