The CCG Tech Podcast is designed to engage with and connect academics, policy professionals, decision-makers, and others interested in issues of information technology law and policy. We talk to subject matter experts, technologists, and decision-makers to discuss the implications of emerging technologies on law and policy, and our daily lives.
With the rapid pace at which global technologies are evolving, we hope this podcast will create more spaces for conversations, diverse perspectives, thoughts and approaches to how we can bring considerations for societal benefit, democratic values, and constitutional principles closer to the core of technology development.
