Digital transformation and new technologies have profound and contradictory implications for human rights.

Are new technologies a human rights threat or a resource for action? Or both?

This conversation brings together AI and human rights experts, a forensic consultant, and an anthropologist of genocide and digital technologies to ask what does rights-promoting technology look like?

How can we untangle the ways in which new technologies undermine rights, support humanitarian action, and offer frameworks for regulation?

Join our conversation to learn more.
