8th Annual Policymakers Dialogue | Architects of the Future: European Policymaking in Times of Uncertainty, Technological Disruption and Societal Adaptation
From the 6th to the 8th of October 2023, our Annual Policymakers Dialogue brought together 51 policymakers from 28 countries to explore today’s policymaking challenges through the lens of technological advancements that are changing the world we live in.
Technological advancements have the potential to radically alter the playing field of policymaking due to their profound and often ambiguous societal, economic, ethical, and political implications.
Together with colleagues from across Europe and informed by top-tier experts and policy pioneers, the 8th Open European Dialogue – Architects of the Future: European Policymaking in Times of Uncertainty, Technological Disruption and Societal Adaptation was a chance to explore new approaches towards technology.
- How can politicians be architects of our societies’ futures while standing on ever-shifting grounds?
- How can policymakers handle the emergence of a new global competition among actors with different approaches towards the use of technology in society?
- How can policymakers prepare for the emergence of new societal disparities and ruptures?
- How can politicians regulate emerging technologies in the absence of an in-depth understanding of their
opportunities and risks? Who will be involved in the shaping of new regulation?
