This lecture explores the transformative shift in global governance and societal organization as traditional state structures are increasingly challenged—and sometimes replaced—by algorithmic systems. Presenting Mathias Bianchi’s book of the same title, it examines how data-driven technologies, artificial intelligence, and automated decision-making are reshaping sovereignty, citizenship, and power in the digital age.

The workshop is part of the Stimulating Prosocial Behavior (PROSOCIAL) project.

The PROSOCIAL project is a large collaborative project funded by Leibniz 2025-2028. Institutional partners involved are, among others, RWI Essen, University Hamburg, PIK and many expert individual researchers like Mark Andor (RWI), Andreas Lange (U Hamburg), Lorenz Goette (NUS), René Bekkers (VU Amsterdam), Steffen Huck (WZB), Isabel Thielmann (MPI), and Linus Mattauch (PIK & TU Berlin).
