“How do we ensure technology makes our lives better?” Tech Mirror: Reflecting on technology and society with Johanna Weaver explores how technology impacts our lives: the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful. Technology is made by humans. When we refocus on this foundational truth, it opens the possibility that technology can be made differently. Questions about how we might shape technology differently are not just “technical” questions. The answers to these questions go to the very core of the fabric our societies. Just as there is a variety of diverse voices involved in the development of health policy, or national security policy, we need more people to actively engage in tech policy discussions. Through interviews with the movers and shapers, and analysis by experts and opinionated guests, this podcast will empower you to participate in policy discussions to shape the technologies that will shape our future.

In a special episode of Tech Mirror, Johanna is joined by Michele G Markoff, Deputy Coordinator for Cyber Issues at the US Department of State, and Heli Tiirmaa-Klaar, Director of the Digital Society Institute at the European School of Management and Technology, Berlin.
The episode is prompted by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which the Australian National University (ANU) and Tech Policy Design Centre strongly condemn. The trio discuss the intersection of cyber issues and international law, and touch on the history of cyber negotiations and how the attitudes and threat perceptions of states have changed over time.
This episode was produced by Jack Fox. Ben Gowdie provided invaluable research support.
