STP Workshop 2018 Programme
The programme is developed to help students understand the complexities of formulating policies at the interface of science and technology. Over the course of five days, participants will be introduced to issues and key players in the areas of AI, cybersecurity, robotics, and disruptive changes.
A series of presentations, dialogues, and site visits will provide ample opportunities to interact with representatives from government agencies, academia, and industry, and allow students to apply their knowledge to a policy-relevant context.
Participants will consolidate their understanding of the overarching themes through debates and group discussions, where they will jointly develop their analysis and solutions for assigned topics, including:
- Impact of AI on decision making
- Impact of robotics on the future of work
- Education and human development in the face of disruptive technologies
- Disruptive technologies and Governance: Cybersecurity
- Dsruptive technologies and Governance: Ethics
The students will compile their findings and recommendations for the above topics in a written report, to be presented on the final day, with agency representatives and decision-makers joining in the ensuing discussion.
