John Keane, a politician and professor at the University of Sydney and WZB-Berlin, considered one of the most relevant political-philosophical views on the international scene, was the protagonist of the inauguration of the 11th Cycle of Conferences "Today's Democracy" at the Universitat Jaume I. These conferences focused on analysing the ethical challenges posed by the digitalisation of current democracies through the critical reflection of philosophers, sociologists, educators and economists, among others.

The intervention of the Australian professor has focused his attention on critically analyzing how technology is transforming the socio-political context with an increasingly relevant presence of artificial intelligence and robotics in both the private and political spheres. A discussion on the way in which this context of technological domination affects democracy is based on the title "The new era of the machine revolution". Not in vain, the politician has assured that today's society is immersed in "a revolution without precedent, the machine revolution, which transforms the entire sphere of human activity and relations".
