Trust, the bedrock of our liberal democracy, coupled with technology have been two core elements that determined the progress of our democratic societies. But today, we live in a new transformational geopolitical reality, where distrust is accelerating and the clash over technology supremacy is mounting. Therefore, the KITDP is strategically positioned to help counter authoritarianism by integrating non-tech with tech tools in an increasingly dynamic and rapidly evolving digital battle. Moreover, tech statecraft and the return of trust are fundamental for American leadership to win this strategic competition while harnessing the best of new technologies to defend our peace and prosperity, our Western civilization, and the free world to prevail over authoritarianism. I am truly delighted to be asked to serve alongside such illustrious luminaries and to contribute to KITDP's noble mission.
