The technological edge in 2030 – What role for technology in society? – Lightning talk 01 2019

The technological edge in 2030 – What role for technology in society?

As a precursor to the Panel 1 discussion on technology supporting policy, Jonathan Cave and Jaya Baloo will sketch a possible future of 2030, highlighting what may be possible, as to invite the panel of distinguished representatives of the four traditional EuroDIG stakeholder groups to comment on what they like about this future, what they would like to see different, and in a subsequent round consider what needs to be done to make it all likely to happen in that way.

By putting the perspective on 2030, and "looking back from the future" to what needs to be done today to work towards the best possible future tomorrow, and by having two inspiring speakers, this lightning talk will be an excellent kick-off of the EuroDIG series of Panel sessions for 2019.

Prof.Dr. Jonathan A.K. Cave is Economist and Game theorist, and a Fellow of the Alan Turing Institute, Member of the UK Regulatory Policy Committee, and Senior lecturer at the Warwick Economics Department.

Jaya Baloo is a seasoned technical security expert, and Chief Information Security Officer for KPN.
