When technology meets policy: A case of data protection and privacy

Rejected

Session Description

I will delve into how technology policy works in various jurisdictions as part of the talk. Much of the talk will cover when, how, and where the technology meets policy. A few of the questions the lecture will answer:

  1. What are the wicked technology policy challenges? 
  2. How the nature of technologies are changing?
  3. How to visualise technology lifecycle and transition as a subject of policy inquiry?
  4. Can policy guide technology? Why State intervenes?
  5. How does policy affect technology? When does the State intervene?


I will employ two paths of specialisation within the technology policy. In terms of technology, I will talk about platform technologies, while in terms of policy, I will touch upon the nuances of data privacy and protection policy. 


Following are some of my work that might be relevant for the FOSS community:

This sounds interesting imo. Tentatively approving for now since I'm not well versed with policy stuff
