Abstract

Emerging and disruptive technologies (EDTs) are transforming all aspects of our lives. Access to data and related technologies along the data value chain is a key factor that will shape the well-being and welfare of people, businesses and nations across the world. As such, many EDTs also present new challenges and opportunities across domains that require strategic and anticipatory regulatory approaches to ensure their safe deployment. While many such EDTs are interdisciplinary in nature, statistical methods are at their core and facilitate a disciplined way to collect, process, evaluate, and analyze data. The session will explore the central role of data and analytics in current forward-looking strategic policy, research, and applications and the implications of EDTs, data and analytics to defence, safety and security across continents.
