Good tech versus bad tech

Good tech versus bad tech - How technology design will change business strategy

Join the Warwick Technology & Energy professional networks at our joint event on Friday 20th May 2016 at Warwick Business School, University of Warwick.

We live in times where technology is invading everywhere and creating brand new opportunities but also introducing new risk and governance issues for policy , business strategy and individuals alike. Following the recent examples of the Apple versus FBI case over personal data privacy; the win by AlphaGo versus the grand master in GO, to the UK government plan to roll out smart metering nationally in the UK this year and the intervention by government security to add additional security protection to prevent hacking, these are suggesting a shift in the connecting power of technology that is pushing beyond human experience into uncharted consequences. We are now growing past the early innocence of Moore’s law that is not just hugely powerful computing and data storage and global networks but a scaling out and new intelligence that is challenging the very basis of human rights, jobs and competitive behaviors.

This session  brings together a diverse set of speakers around this central emerging question of technology power versus governance and rights and discusses what should businesses need to do to address possible near futures of work, automation and this convergence around faster rapidly changing  business strategies  and disruptive dilemmas.
