Rethinking technology policy and governance for the 21st Century
Major technology firms exert significant social and political influence globally, challenging national sovereignty and norms. Governments in various regions are implementing regulations to protect national interests, though their effectiveness and impact on rights are debated. The Fourth Industrial Revolution poses risks to economic development, national security, social cohesion, and human rights. New forms of regulation and governance are needed to ensure values like fairness, inclusiveness, and accountability. Policymakers face challenges due to regulatory fragmentation, lack of data, and reliance on technology firms. Transparent, holistic policymaking, cross-jurisdictional collaboration, and agile governance are essential for effective technology policy. The European Commission's approach to the Digital Services Act and initiatives by the World Economic Forum are highlighted as positive steps. Agile governance processes, such as regulatory sandboxes and risk-based approaches, offer opportunities to embed fairness, inclusion, and accountability in technological systems.
