Alicia Asín de Libelium

Is a smart city synonymous with a city that controls us? What if we use data to move toward a more democratic and informed system? How can Artificial Intelligence improve our relationship with our cities?

In this episode of The Digital Rights Podcast, we delve into the possible technological solutions that could make our cities greener and more sustainable. Alicia Asín, member of the Hermes Foundation Advisory Board and CEO of Libelium, talks to journalist Eva Baroja about datocracy, digital literacy, and the use of technology to evaluate political decisions in our cities. As Asín reminds us, data can be used to “evaluate the impact of an investment” and thus help “citizens draw their own conclusions and assess how well or poorly their leaders have performed.”
