Bits and Bytes of a Sustainable Future
Digital technologies have advanced more rapidly than any innovation in our history, with new applications and solutions disrupting industries faster than ever before. In the new digital economy, we see business models, enterprises and careers emerging that didn’t exist even just a few years ago. The pace of change will only get faster, bringing with it quantum advances in technology, improvements in lives and livelihoods, but also, challenges, risks and even ethical considerations that have to be balanced and managed. How do we continue charting pathways towards a shared digital future that is inclusive and sustainable for everyone?
