Session: Responsible innovation and use of technology.
What institutions are doing to ensure sure that they are not left behind in the digital era. How can innovation and technology can be better leveraged and what are the benefits to companies and society at large. How we can do this with responsibility and sustainability.
Even today, we witness several governance failures, which goes to show that unless ethics and governance is embraced in spirit and not just in letter, not much will change.
Today, we see regulators struggling to keep pace with. The quest for more and more data and seeking more and more business opportunities for using and monetizing that data, has become a primary objective of most institutions. Herein, lies the problem.
Unfortunately, thus far we have seen that technology has been misused on several occasions. The onus is on all stakeholders to ensure that technology can be leveraged strategically.
Learning outcomes:
- How to be responsible when innovating for solutions using technology.
- How can companies/banks be more responsible when they leverage technology
