DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY AND DEMOCRACY
Laurent DuBois is the faculty lead for this initiative, which will be housed within the Karsh Institute of Democracy. The work will focus on how digital technology can support democracy, particularly in the age of artificial intelligence.
The future of democracy and the future of digital technology are deeply intertwined. We have witnessed firsthand how digital technology can be used to destabilize democratic norms and institutions. What are the key components that lead to this destabilization? How can we counter those effects and use digital technology to support democracy? The work on this initiative will focus on how digital technology can support democracy, particularly in the age of artificial intelligence.
