Lessons from Davos

MARCH/APRIL 2019

As CES 2019
proved, the
tech industry
and innovation are
increasingly
viewed as
solving many
of the world's
problems.

are intent on regulating. The CTA voluntary
guidelines for wearables is a great model.
● China and the West are on a collision course.
Our focus on freedom, our success in innovation and our reliance on democracy are being
challenged by China's ascendancy, crackdown
on freedoms, lack of privacy and AI strategy.
● Governments are competing with new regulatory regimes aimed at attracting new technologies connected to blockchain, but the
importance of governments and their political
leaders are starting to be threatened by
advancing financial technologies.

many of the world's problems. I am sure CES
2020 and Davos next year will continue to
focus on the opportunity and challenges being
raised by rapid changes in technology.

to do. The Female Quotient, a powerful
women's leadership group, had a visible
presence at Davos and CES.
● Artificial intelligence (AI) is creating an
exciting and feared future. Jobs, control, discrimination and transparency are all issues,
but the more optimistic Davos crowd viewed
them as surmountable if we can create guard
rails, allowing AI to benefit humanity.
● We need to self-regulate or we will be regulated. Privacy is a huge issue and policy leaders
