About this event
The emergence of worldwide digital transformation brings with it a number of challenges for global governance and professionalism in IT. Some of the key challenges include:
- Cybersecurity: 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.
- Data Privacy: 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.
- Digital Divide: 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.
- Ethical Considerations: 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.
- Professionalism in IT: 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.
