Launch of the CAMRI Policy Brief Series

The event will feature two presentations:

Christian Fuchs will present his research on tax avoidance by Facebook 
and Google and what can be done about it, based on his policy brief ‘The 
online advertising tax: A digital policy innovation’ and the report 'The 
Online Advertising Tax as the Foundation of a Public Service Internet'.

Mercedes Bunz will highlight the challenges brought about by artificial 
intelligence and review related policy strategies from the UK, US, 
Canada, China and EU, based on her policy brief ‘Artificial intelligence 
and the internet of things: UK Policy Opportunities and Challenges’.

The presentations will be followed by a drinks reception.

The CAMRI Policy Brief series provides rigorous and evidence-based 
policy advice and policy analysis on a variety of media and 
communication related topics. In an age where the accelerated 
development of media and communications creates profound opportunities 
and challenges for society, politics and the economy, this series cuts 
through the noise and offers up-to-date knowledge and evidence grounded 
in original research in order to respond to these changes in all their 
complexity. By using Open Access and a concise, easy-to-read format, 
this peer reviewed series aims to make new research from the University 
of Westminster available to the public, to policymakers, practitioners, 
journalists, activists and scholars both nationally and internationally.
