In conversation with Nick Clegg: Can democracy survive the pace of technology?

2024 is testing the strength of democracies’ foundations. Those foundations are increasingly digital. With nearly half the world’s population voting, technology platforms - in search, media and digital politics - are in positions of significant democratic responsibility. Protecting citizens from information operations, deep fakes and negotiating the changing shape of digital politics is a challenge for even the most sophisticated governments and regulators. Artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize political campaigning, and perhaps even how citizens engage with government. But will these changes lead to a stronger, or weaker, democracy?
Sir Nick Clegg, President of Global Affairs at Meta, speaks at Chatham House on the role that technology plays in a modern democracy. He will discuss how technology, democracy and elections intertwine in today’s world and how democracies can use technology to restore trust with citizens.
