Abstract

The 2025 volume “Governing the Digital Society: Platforms, Artificial Intelligence, and Public Values” examines how digital societies can be
effectively governed to safeguard public values (like safety and transparency) against the profit-driven power and pervasive misinformation spread by digital platforms and AI systems. It aims to offer an interdisciplinary analysis, as well as actionable insights for scholars and policymakers working to embed public values into algorithmic systems and strengthen institutions in data-driven democracies.
