Policy Summit

As the balance of power shifts, with new forms of competition and cooperation, how can politics adapt to the new realities of the modern world?
In this new order where does power lie, how is it exercised and what can be done to constrain it?

Policy is often thought to lag, rather than lead, when it comes to largescale technological transformations. Regulation is more than just red-tape, it sets the rules of the game.
With increasingly fast paced innovation, intelligent and innovative policy solutions are required to ensure that we maximise the benefits, and minimise the costs, of technologies like AI.

Is an economic revolution unfolding similar to the industrial revolution? If so, does the maxim; 'the revolution devours its children' apply?
Technological revolutions rarely replace only old technologies; they often disrupt the people and the institutions that created them. Regulation is necessary, but rarely sufficient for economic growth. How can we avoid the pitfalls of the past?

Just as the industrial revolution helped give rise to a new social contract, some argue that the advent of AI requires a new social contract.
What would such a contract look like? One in which the wider public shares in the fruits of new technological innovations, rather than copperfastening further inequality in a gilded age.
