Panel discussion The hype surrounding digital technologies in education has now partly been replaced with a opposite tendency where schools worldwide are going back to printed books and banning mobile phones from the classroom. At the same time, digital technologies are deeply embedded in educational practices and the global ed-tech industry is thriving. In this panel, four distinguished researchers from the field of media and education give their perspectives on this development:· Neil Selwyn, Professor in the Faculty of Education (Monash University, Australia)· Petar Jandrić, Professor of Information Science (Zagreb University of Applied Science, Croatia)· Felicitas Macgilchrist, Professor of Digital Education and Schooling (Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, Germany)· Sarah Hayes, Professor of Education and Research Lead (Bath Spa University, UK)Organised and moderated by Ingrid Forsler and Saga Hansén both at Media and Communication Studies at Södertörn.

MKV-Podden goes live and English: New episode from a panel discussion at Södertörn University in September 2024Pea counters and automated bureaucrats: AI and algorithms in public administrationAutomated decision-making with the help of algorithms and artificial intelligence has been on the agenda lately. Numerous workshops, conferences and symposia have discussed the promises and challenges of AI. The potential for increased efficiency and reaching more just decisions through AI is especially prevalent in the public sector - a domain that organizes and regulates the most important aspects of our lives such as care, education, and security. But how can the broader public be engaged in such complex questions? This panel gathers decision-makers and representatives of the public sector to examine the state and potential of automated decision-making and artificial intelligence in public administration. The panel discussion has two starting points: First, the installation “Erbsenzähler” introduced and contextualized by the artist Verena Friedrich. Second, results from a comparative survey among Swedish citizens, civil servants, and politicians indicating important differences between the three groups when it comes to trust in automated decision-making and AI in public administration.  Introduction Anne Kaun (Södertörn)Panelists-             Liv Fries, (Inera)-             Maja Fjaestad (Associate Professor, former Swedish state secretary for health)-             Martin Snygg Söder (Statskontoret)-             Göran Hellström (Digitaliseringsstrateg Södertälje) Moderator: Johan Sandén (Södertörn) The panel discussion is co-organized by the Hub for Digital Welfare Research, the Academy of Public Administration as well as the Digital Transformations Research Platform and is funded by the Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.
