Session teaser

In the European continent, particularly the EU, the regulatory responses from the recent years have attempted to keep abreast or even get ahead of the fast-paced technological developments. This session will explore the resilience of these legislative responses, in particular their implementation and enforcement challenges and paths to regulating digital technologies and the positive and negative impact of the regulation on technological advancement. 

Session description

The European Union's (EU) digital services regulatory framework and digital transformation directives (e.g., data protection and cybersecurity) reflect the EU's ongoing efforts to address the challenges, impacts and opportunities presented by emerging technology. This session aims to explore the views of stakeholders on the linkages between EU policy directives and what is needed for the implementation of emerging technologies; balancing regulatory policy and the common good against technical capabilities and requirements for a trustworthy environment.

Format

The format of this session is a panel with three speakers and a moderator.
