More than one year into the pandemic, we follow up with thought leaders in the fields of digitalization and AI – Dr. Gesche Joost, Professor for Design Research at the Berlin University of the Arts, and Dr. Mona Sloane of the Institute for Public Knowledge at New York University – on where things stand when it comes to digitalization and the digital divide. On May 4, the ACG and 1014 hosted a discussion with Dr. Joost and Dr. Sloane on how the pandemic has helped close the gap in some ways and has exacerbated inequalities in other ways.
