Watch today's livestream from the Paris Peace Forum: can we use technology to protect democracy?
November 06, 2023
We're entering a year of critical elections at a precarious moment for the world. Key votes in the United States, European Union, Taiwan, India, and others across 78 countries will take place in 2024 amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, escalating US/China competition, and declining trust in both governments and the media.
Concerns about AI, disinformation, negative social media algorithms, and cybersecurity raise the question: how can we use technology as a tool to protect democracy, instead of harming it?
Live from Paris today at 11 am ET/5 pm CET we're convening leaders from politics, the private sector, and media to examine how that can happen. Julien Pain, journalist and host of Franceinfo, will moderate a live discussion from the historic Palais Brongniart, site of the 2023 Paris Peace Forum, in a GZERO Global Stage livestream produced in partnership with Microsoft.

Israel’s right-wing government has overseen a record expansion of settlements in the West Bank in recent years. The settlements, which are illegal under international law, are driving the displacement of Palestinians. One proposal the government is now advancing is the controversial E1 settlement plan, which would effectively slice the West Bank in two and severely undermine Palestinian aspirations for a contiguous state.
More than 70% of the earth’s surface is covered in good old H2O, so it would seem there’s plenty to go around. But the vast majority, at least 97%, is contained in the oceans as saltwater. The growing scarcity of freshwater for drinking, cooking, industrial, and agricultural uses is quickly moving water up as a global risk. In fact, our parent company, Eurasia Group, added it to its Top Risks list for 2026 as “The water weapon.”
