Redefining Resilience: Embedding Democratic Values in Technological Innovation

Rapid technological change is placing new pressures on democratic systems, from deepfakes in the information sphere to blackbox artificial intelligence systems making increasingly critical decisions. At the same time, the speed of innovation offers ongoing opportunities for scientists and entrepreneurs to build core values into future technologies.

GMF Technology has been at the forefront of exploring the innovation and development of democracy-affirming technologies, which are intentionally designed to uphold democratic principles such as privacy, transparency, and accountability. The team's latest report delves into these technologies, which will be the focus of this event. We cordially invite you to join us for the conversation.

Panelists will examine the characteristics of democratically minded innovation ecosystems, discuss strategies to foster the development of technologies that uphold democratic values, and explore ways to increase access to these innovations.

Should you have any questions or require accommodations, please contact Adrienne Goldstein at [email protected].
