Some of the key challenges include: <ul><li><strong>Cybersecurity</strong>: more and more data and systems become digitized, the risk of cyberattacks increases. This requires a robust cybersecurity framework that can protect critical infrastructure, personal information, and national security. </li><li><strong>Data Privacy</strong>: With the increasing digitization of data, there is a growing concern about data privacy. This requires a comprehensive framework that can protect personal information, ensure privacy rights are respected, and provide transparency and accountability. </li><li><strong>Digital Divide</strong>: As digital technologies become more pervasive, there is a risk of exacerbating the digital divide between developed and developing countries. This requires a concerted effort to ensure that everyone has access to the necessary infrastructure, skills, and resources to participate in the digital economy. </li><li><strong>Ethical Considerations</strong>: With the increasing use of AI and other emerging technologies, there are ethical considerations that need to be taken into account. This includes issues such as bias, accountability, and transparency. </li><li><strong>Professionalism in IT</strong>: As the digital economy grows, there is a need for a strong and well-regulated IT profession. This requires a framework that can ensure that IT professionals have the necessary skills, knowledge, and ethical standards to operate in a rapidly changing digital environment. </li></ul> During this session we will be joined by board members form the International Federation of Information Processing (IFIP) as we discuss the challenges of global governance and professionalism in IT, and the coordinated effort required from governments, the private sector, and civil society to ensure that digital transformation is inclusive, sustainable, and ethical. <br><br><br><strong>IMPORTANT INFORMATION:</strong><br>Lobby opens (virtually) at 4:50pm for a 5:00pm sharp start. <br><br><br>
