In a speech at the third Summit for Democracy held in Seoul, South Korea, U.S. Secretary of State highlighted the critical role of technology in sustaining democratic values. He expressed concerns about authoritarian regimes leveraging technologies to undermine democracy and human rights, emphasizing the need for technology to align with democratic principles.
The summit, a U.S.-led initiative, aims to revitalize democracy and promote the benefits of democratic governance over autocracies. President Joe Biden's proposal for the summit during his 2020 campaign underscores the administration's commitment to strengthening democratic institutions.
