At its best, technology can enhance human rights, worker rights, productivity, and environmental justice. When abused, it can exacerbate income inequality, disrupt critical supply chain deployment, and undermine the freedoms that lead to shared prosperity and security in the global economy. By focusing on the Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue's core belief that technology must advance freedom, we can help assure that developed and developing nations move on the right path.
