SUMMARY

Complex physical and societal infrastructures in democratic societies are becoming increasingly vulnerable. While physical infrastructure works to support the population, its design criteria is inherently a result of social planning processes. As advanced and powerful technologies rapidly diffuse, operating these tools often requires minimal resources and/or technical expertise.

This publication is part of a ten-part Institute for Security and Technology (formerly Tech4GS) and Center for a New American Security (CNAS) commentary series from Tech4GS’ M. Nina MillerAlexa Wehsener, and Vera Zakem as we dive into digital trends likely to impact democracy in the next decade.
