Democracy Affirming Technology: Restoring Trust Online

Hodan Omaar presented at the "Democracy Affirming Technology: Restoring Trust Online" event, which identified and discussed solutions for some of the problems surrounding disinformation online, including the threat of deepfake information campaigns to national security and democratic values. The focus of Omaar's presentation was that as lawmakers craft laws to mitigate harm from deepfakes they should be careful not to erode free speech rights or undermine legitimate uses of the technology.
