HSP Symposium “The SDGs and Network Governance: Opportunities and Challenges in Data-Driven Innovation” (Jul. 13, 2019)
| Title | The SDGs and Network Governance: Opportunities and Challenges in Data-Driven Innovation |
| Description | The development of data-driven innovation, including the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain is expected to play a key role in tacking sustainability challenges, including environmental protection, energy security, public health, and humanitarian assistance. Critically depending upon data availability and accessibility, data-driven innovation requires efficient and effective collection, diffusion, and utilization of a vast amount of various kinds of data in cyber-physical systems. A network mode of governance is of particular importance to facilitate open, dynamic interactions with stakeholders in realizing the potential of the emerging smart technologies. In this symposium we discuss opportunities and challenges in data-driven innovation in addressing SDGs and their implications for network governance, considering societal concerns about privacy, cyber security, and public safety. |
