Can Tech Save Democracy? with Rose Jackson

We often hear about how tech is ruining democracy. But what if, instead, tech can save it? We wanted to know. So we asked Rose Jackson to join us for this episode of The Community Exchange Podcast. On this episode, Rose explains how, in her work as Director of the Digital Forensic Research Lab’s Democracy + Tech Initiative at The Atlantic Council, she and others in civil society are changing the tide—using tech to support healthy societies and robust democracies around the world. We cover a lot in this episode: human rights, digital trust, and a new task force that’s diving deep into what’s causing divisions in society and how tech can help repair them.
