Emerging technology will soon be all pervasive, and will reshape markets and societies. Its promise is unlimited, but only if managed well. Unlocking its potential requires an agile governance – one that can pre-empt risks, protect the vulnerable, and preserve innovation. The Emerging Technology Forum is a multi-stakeholder community which aims to build state capacity, enhance societal awareness, and engage with industry towards this.
Our Vision
Institutions, law, and society at large have found it difficult to adapt to changes brought about by technological developments. Technology’s march of progress has not led to corresponding gains for society. As technology becomes more pervasive, immersive, and complex, it is important to create processes and safeguards to maximize societal gains from innovation and mitigate risks before they amplify. Online safety and consumer trust are of categorical importance to unlock the potential technological innovation holds for the Indian economy and ecology.
