How do digital technologies impact peace, democracy, and social fabric?

One of the defining questions of our time remains severely underdiscussed. We made it our mission to bring these conversations to the heart of democratic discourse.

About Digital Peace

Digital Peace is a media platform evolving into a public think tank dedicated to strengthening democratic resilience in the digital age. We translate scientific insights into accessible formats, challenge dominant narratives, and create spaces for informed public dialogue – empowering people to critically examine and actively shape a digital future grounded in peace, democracy, and human dignity.

Why Digital Peace

Democratic Deficit

Technology fundamentally transforms our lives, yet democratic debate about it is lacking. These decisions must be subject to public deliberation, enabling societies to collectively shape their digital future.

Digital Resilience

Societies must build resilience against the negative consequences of digitalisation, this encompasses both the collective and the individual capacity to develop strategies that protect democratic values and social cohesion.

Peace Policy Gap

Information and cognitive warfare have transformed the internet into a conflict zone. AI will further amplify these dynamics. However, there are currently no peace policy frameworks in place to address this new reality.
