In this episode, Alma- Constance and Lucinda discuss the role of the internet and how it can affect the way we think and how laws can protect the way we can express our thoughts and views online.

They speak to Susie Alegre, international human rights barrister at Doughty Street Chambers and author of Freedom to Think. She is a pioneer in looking at digital human rights and her book explores the impact of artificial intelligence on the human rights to freedom of thought and opinion.

She tells us about:

·            why we need laws to protect how people think and express their views online

·            How technology can affect what we think and form views

·            The impact on children and young people

When Susie was 10 years old,  she loved writing reading and talking and interviewing her pony!
