Balancing Digital Growth: Regulators vs Digital Economy vs Inclusive Tech | Raisina Dialogue 2024

Raisina Dialogue 2024 | Digital Utopia: Seeking Light at the End of the Tunnel | Policy-makers globally recognise that technological innovation and adoption is essential for prosperity and inclusion. They seek investment in frontier technologies and clear the way for swift incorporation across the economy and even governance. Yet the creation of a digitalised economy brings with it concern about new forms of social harm, from fraud to cybercrime. Unless regulator capacity keeps up with the growth of the digital economy, the boost from inclusive tech may not materialise.

What is the evolving regulatory consensus on how to trade off public good and public harm?

Is this consensus uniform over geographies, or should it consider differing local preferences and constitutional norms?

What are the nimble partnerships that can act as a bridge in shaping norms of conduct?

How does digital cooperation insulate itself from polarisation in the real world?

Are there lessons we can learn from each other on regulatory principles that boost growth and protect individual entrepreneurship and rights?

Who gets the policy mix right, and how can accountability for digital harms be assigned?

How can the citizen, as opposed to the state or the corporation, return to centre-stage in digital policy making?

Does digital governance return power to the individual or retain it with companies and bureaucrats?
