Benedetta Brevini

[1] Brevini is known for her political economic analysis, investment in green tech literacy, and explorations of the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and the climate crisis.

[4][5] Brevini has also consulted for GetUp!,[6] the Open Society Foundations Media Program and Access Info Europe.

[8] She also contributes to numerous web and print publications, including openDemocracy,[9] South China Morning Post,[10] The Conversation,[11] and MediaReform.co.uk.

[13][16] Brevini considers this issue with reference to Denmark, France, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom, where Public Service broadcasting has incurred major reforms that have altered its legal and policy-related frameworks.

[13][16] Brevini ultimately argues that PSB 2.0 and its reimagining of public service values are crucial in the 21st century – particularly if the internet is to embody the ideals of traditional, non-commercial broadcast television.

[15] Brevini notes that Amazon's rise to prominence has been expedited by a contemporary manifestation of capitalism that favours market concentration and dominance, as well as the absence of regulatory frameworks that could redistribute wealth.

[18][19] Brevini also explores Shoshana Zuboff’s notion of "surveillance capitalism", or the process by which personal data is collected and commodified by global corporations.

[2] Brevini states that the surveillance capitalism perpetuated by AI-equipped devices has heightened uberconsumerism and a mode of hyperconsumption that precipitates unsustainable energy demands.
