Concordia Americas Summit 2022 - “THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN TECHNOLOGY AND DEMOCRACY”

While technology can be an invaluable tool for strengthening freedom of speech and giving a voice to traditionally marginalized groups, it can also amplify misinformation, give organizations an instrument to influence populations, and obstruct the democratic process. The role of technology has especially come into question in recent elections around the world. This conversation, featuring technology leaders from the public and private sectors, will discuss the benefits and dangers of technology in democracy, and what the technological future of the democratic process might look like. Sponsored by the Knight Foundation, it is the culmination of a three-part series suggesting a coalition to champion the use of technology to strengthen democracy.
