Who would bother to vote in the future if a set of sophisticated algorithms just identified, by trawling your data mine, your ideal candidate, or your policy options, just like Netflix or Spotify predicts your next TV series or your new lovable tunes? How would democracy look like in the future? How would the algorithms influence policymaking? Which skills will be needed by policymakers? What the role of political parties? These will be some of the questions we will discuss together on 7 November at the European Parliament from 16.00 to 17.30h (Room A3H-1).

Keynote: Giuseppe Porcaro, author of Disco Sour Book

Debate: MEP Brando Benifei (S&D), MEP Marietje Schaake (ALDE), Juha-Pekka Nurvala, Advisor (EPP), Dan Sobovitz, speechwriter.
