Tech and the Future of Democracy | Polkadot Web3 Hub at Davos 2022

Digital technology has shaken the foundations of democracy itself, empowering small groups of citizens and tech corporations alike in astonishing new ways. From mass communication to algorithmic determinism and the emergence of the blockchain, our era is laced with opportunities and challenges in equal measure-with liberty itself hanging in the balance. If tech companies and governments work together to develop guardrails, norms, and standards now that encourage transparency, authenticity, and collaboration, democratic institutions could come out stronger. But the opposite potentia; looms large. In this session, you’ll hear Terera Hutson and Damon Beres discuss the role technology firms must play in uplifting democracy globally. Produced by Web3 Foundation & Unfinished.
Speakers:
- Teresa Hutson, VP, Tech & Corporate Responsibility Group at Microsoft
- Dr. Hahrie Han, Professor and Director, SNF Agora Institute - Johns Hopkins University
- Katherine Hsiao, EVP, Head of Health & Life Sciences at Palantir Technologies
Moderated by:
- Damon Beres, Editor in Chief at Unfinished
