Protecting information spaces: democracy, technology, foreign interference

Access to accurate information is being increasingly challenged worldwide. Polarisation, the weaponization of misinformation, the manipulation of algorithms and foreign interference are some of the threats to democracy and to citizenship. This event will unpack the challenges of threats in the information space. It will also address the manner in which technology, and in particular generative AI, can be "friends" but also "foes". The panel will draw from the recommendations issued by the Etats Généraux de l'Information, which was convened in France to protect and develop the right to information, which will be released on Thursday 12 September.

With:

• Maria Ressa, Journalist and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
• Camille Francois, Professor Columbia School of International and Public Affairs
• Arancha Gonzalez, Dean Paris School of International Affairs

Moderated by Constance de Leusse, Incoming Executive Director, Tech and Global Affairs Innovation Hub, Sciences Po
