Join us for Session 2 – Robots, Drones and AI: Who’s Watching Us 24/7? – of a conversation on how we ensure digital technology is being used to create a more just and peaceful world.

USAID’s Center of Excellence on Democracy, Human Rights and Governance (DRG) and SCS Global created the CivicSpace.tech interactive toolkit to help the DRG community understand both the risks and opportunities of using digital technology in civic engagement. Focusing on how DRG issues are affected by emergent technologies, this two-part series will explore how CivicSpace.tech can help missions and local partners better navigate threats and trends.
