Digital Dilemmas Salon: Digital Technologies in Armed Conflicts

Join us for the first event in the ‘Digital Dilemmas Salon Series’, focusing on generating insights and actions about how technology could be designed to better serve the needs of vulnerable people living in armed conflict.

The acceleration of the global digital transformation is profoundly affecting society, business, and governance. This transformation - including mobile connectivity, biometrics, social media, often created in the Bay Area - generates unique dynamics and effects in armed conflicts.

While digital technologies offer unprecedented opportunities, the risks around their impact, misuse and consequences are profound. How can technologies work better for people living in armed conflicts? How can we embrace the prism of people living in conflict to think about ethics, responsibility and the impact of technologies?
