THE WORLD AHEAD: THE ENDGAME OF A DATA-DRIVEN SOCIETY
The day’s discussions will have focused on what governments and the private sector can do to prepare for a data-driven society and how moving towards it will affect global geopolitics. In this future-gazing session, leading computer scientists and futurists will discuss what a truly data-driven world may look like. Efficient societies underpinned by data use, warfare dominated by cyberattacks on whole cities, and authoritarian societies where privacy doesn’t exist could all feature. Based on current trends and insights shared throughout the summit, panellists will discuss what the world may look like in 2030, 2050 and 2075.
Speakers:
- Allen Yeung, former chief information officer, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
- Christopher Brewer, senior consulting partner, Ogilvy Consulting
- Anna Gamvros, Partner, Norton Rose Fulbright
Moderator:
- Tom Standage, deputy editor, The Economist
