The podcast episodes provided cover various aspects of 'Digital Democracy', which examines the intersection of technology and politics, often referred to as 'digital democracy' or 'digital autocracy'.

The episodes discuss how digital tools and technologies, such as Polis, can be used to enhance democratic processes and public discourse by facilitating large-scale deliberation, surfacing bridge-building perspectives, and increasing citizen input in policymaking. They also explore the challenges posed by emerging technologies like generative AI, deepfakes, and social media algorithms, and how governments like Taiwan are working to future-proof democracy against such threats.

The overarching theme is how technology, when designed and used responsibly, can help strengthen and protect democratic institutions and empower citizens to participate more meaningfully in the political process.
