In our second interactive discussion, we will be exploring how the design of policies influences the interface between technology and societal challenges. We’ll draw examples from data privacy laws and nuclear policy in the US and agricultural policies in India, highlighting how policy structures and implementation processes impact the nature and distribution of technology adoption and can reinforce existing societal hierarchies. We will then move on to group discussions of further examples and think through elements of effective policy design and the role of evidence and information in policymaking.
