Technology contributes to this flourishing world. It can: –Improve safety, well-being and quality of life –Enhance economic opportunities and productivity –Increase connectivity and close geographical distances –Empower freedoms and accessibility –Enable creative expression and amplify innovationBut technology is also full of contradictions – where there is opportunity, there is risk. These risks include threats to privacy, security, democracy and trust. Responsible design shaped by anticipatory governance is needed to ensure that technological advances are aligned with ethical principles, sustainability goals and societal values and not just economic or individual advances. Effective governance, in this mould, will make technology more trustworthy. Without responsible design, technology can easily be used – intentionally or not – to constrain, minimize and threaten the flourishing world envisaged above. Policy is a critical mechanism for ensuring that technology is designed responsibly. Technology policy establishes the appropriate systems and guardrails that shape how technologies are developed and adopted. When technology policy is effective and inclusive, it not only delivers positive outcomes for society but also builds and preserves public trust in democratic values, processes and institutions.
