George Orwell's work is once again alarmingly relevant. What lessons does Orwell offer in the current era of controlling algorithms, deepfakes and AI-generated content, in which it is increasingly difficult to distinguish between real and fake, and democracy is under pressure in many countries? Come and listen to ethicist Marcel Becker and see how the poignant documentary Orwell: 2+2=5 connects the past with our present, where the concept of “objective truth” seems to be slowly disappearing.
