Technology

The focus of DGAP’s research and consulting on this core theme is the interdependency of technology and foreign policy. Technological innovation — as well as the diffusion and impact of emerging technologies — is always influenced by the social, economic, and (security) policy contexts in which it occurs. At the same time, technologies affect international actors by changing their areas of influence, options for action, and goals. Today, technology not only continues to play a role in determining foreign and security policy in the classical sense, but it also almost always includes an international dimension, for example in its consequences for regulation or global chains of supply and production.

Generative AI and its Influence on Mexico's 2024 Elections

The accelerated expansion and accessibility of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) present both opportunities and significant concerns to democracy, particularly during elections. With nearly half of the global population voting in 2024, the question “Can AI undermine democracy?” has never been more pressing. For the case of Mexico, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation partnered with Eon Institute, a Mexican think tank, to identify emerging AI electoral trends and risks in order to inform the development of strategies designed to strengthen democracy and promote informed public discourse.
