The need for a responsive regulatory strategy for emergent technologies: A blueprint for an evaluation framework of governance
Building on research conducted in the digital identity work at CIS, Amber Sinha will highlight the need for a three pronged responsive regulatory approach towards emergent technology such as AI/ML and identity solutions.
The keynote address will briefly present the three key elements of this approach— a rule of law framework, rights based tests, and risk based assessment, and highlight a few examples for its application. The pandemic, and the responses to it have underscored for a dire need for these regulatory strategies.
