Autocrats’ Tech Assault and Democracy’s Response

 Democracies are facing increasing threats by autocratic regimes around the world and by autocratic   notions and leanings within their own borders. Many experts believe the rise
is intertwined with advances   in technology. This conference will focus on how new technologies are strengthening autocracies around   the world and what the United States and other democracies can do to thwart their
infiltration and     effectiveness, primarily through civic engagement and education, media response, and private sector technology collaboration.
