Scaling collaborative technology to enable the future of multilateralism

The Technology and Global Affairs Innovation Hub at the Paris School of International Affairs organizes an international panel discussion on "Scaling collaborative technology to enable the future of multilateralism".

Amidst concerns about the disruptive effects of technology on global governance, our gathering seeks to highlight its transformative potential in fortifying the resilience of democratic systems. Taiwan stands as a beacon of innovation, harnessing agile technology to advance democracy, pluralism, and citizen well-being. Central to our discussions is the concept of "Plurality," offering a framework to understand and maximize the benefits of technological progress.

In this critical juncture for democracy, mid-way through this year punctuated by elections around the globe, we raise essential questions: How can we reconcile the existential challenges posed by technology with our democratic values? What new technological architectures can we forge to enhance international dialogue and cooperation? Drawing from local deliberative and participative democratic experiences, how can we cultivate global cooperation in an increasingly interconnected world?

This event is co-organised with RadicalXchange and the Bertelsmann Stiftung.
