The Digital Dilemma

Date: 23-04-2025

What happens when tech giants expand their reach into vital public sectors like healthcare and education? The Digital Dilemma, a documentary directed by Stephane Kaas and part of the Ammodo Docs series, explores the pressing research of Professor Tamar Sharon on how digitalization—and the growing presence of Big Tech—threatens to destabilize the core values and democratic governance of these sectors.

Through sharp analysis and real-world examples, Sharon reveals how digital technologies, often hailed as progress, can erode essential principles such as privacy, autonomy, and public accountability. The documentary invites us to reflect on the risks we face—and what we stand to lose—when Big Tech becomes embedded in the very institutions meant to serve the public good.

The Digital Dilemma premiered on March 13 during the inScience Week and is now available to watch online via https://ammododocs.org/nl/documentary/the-digital-dilemma/
