SUMMARY:Are Digital Platforms Solutions to Public Problems? Perspectives from Southeast Asia
LOCATION:Room 3.07
DESCRIPTION:Reflecting global trends, Southeast Asian societies are increas
 ingly relying on private digital technologies to solve social problems, whi
 ch are traditionally handled by governments accountable to the public. Thro
 ugh algorithms that facilitate human transactions, digital platforms indeed
  offer benefits. Societies have used digital platforms to lessen unemployme
 nt, democratise finance, improve transport, and connect small vendors to va
 st markets. Many even speak of a post-pandemic society ever more reliant on
  the digital platforms. But given this increasing reliance, we need make nu
 anced assessments of the positive, negative, and complex implications of us
 ing private digital platforms to solve public problems. The panel tackles t
 his urgent topic by defining providing perspectives from various angles:\n•
  Sectoral: Digital platforms operate in sectors such as online labour, fint
 ech, ecommerce, and ride-hailing, etc. How have these helped and/or hindere
 d people?\n• Political: What is the government’s response to the increasing
  scope of digital platform firms in solving public problems?\n• Critical: B
 eyond the advantages of digital platforms, what possible problems arise whe
 n we use private digital platforms to solve public problems?\nThe panel wel
 comes contributions that leverage social science analysis and empirical stu
 dies that make nuanced assessments of the benefits and risks of relying on 
 private digital platforms to solve public problem. These efforts help us id
 eate solutions and safeguards to ensure that digital platforms become a for
 ce of social good.
