Join us for a discussion about leveraging digital innovation to combat disinformation, including computational propaganda.
The use of disinformation by malicious actors to interfere in the democratic processes has become a center-stage issue for policy makers and other stake-holders around the world. Serious reflection about effectively addressing and countering this complex problem is underway and requires input from the full spectrum of stakeholders.
A key question on everyone's mind is how can we prevent and counter such nefarious activities, while at the same time protecting and promoting human rights, with freedom of expression and other civil and political rights at the forefront? And while regulation and sanctions loom large, it is an opportune moment to examine how innovation, including digital tools, apps, AI and block chain can be leveraged to protect civil society and democracy.
