Over the past decade, Asia has emerged as a pivotal hub in the global landscape of digital platform development and artificial intelligence (AI) innovation. This conference positions Asia not simply as a regional context for empirical inquiry, but as a generative vantage point for theorising the interwoven dynamics of platforms, AI, and socio-political transformations.
As generative AI settles into everyday practice, what remains genuinely generative in
our encounters with these systems?

The challenges faced by public service media in the face of the dominance of commercial tech platforms, and PSM’s infrastructural dependence on them, are global and urgent.
Public service media across the world are currently facing a series of challenges. Funding is under threat, trust in institutions is declining, and organisations have to compete in a media ecosystem dominated by platforms. In parallel, research and development of future technologies demands strong streams of innovation focused on the public good. How can public service media meet these challenges? What does this mean for democracy?
