Digital Economy Architects to Keynote at Joint OECD, Business at OECD, and USCIB Conference
Wednesday, March 24, 2021
NEW YORK, March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- For the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic has required us to conduct our lives virtually and has, subsequently, highlighted the relevance of the OECD's Internet Policy Principles (IPPs). These principles call for a global free flow of information and services, multistakeholder participation, and cooperation to ensure Internet security and privacy. With these issues in mind, USCIB joined with the OECD and Business at OECD (BIAC) to organize a Digital Economy Conference focusing on "A Decade of OECD Internet Principles: Policy-Making in a Data-Driven World." Key experts, such as MIT's Daniel Weitzner, Microsoft's Julie Brill, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce Christopher Hoff, Ambassador David Gross of Wiley, and Sharri Clark from the White House, as well as OECD's Andrew Wyckoff, among others, will discuss the evolving digital ecosystem, Artificial Intelligence (AI), government access to data, and challenges to both business and policymakers.
"The IPPs, adopted in 2011, have underpinned the OECD's evolving work on digital economy issues in the past decade," said USCIB Vice President for ICT Policy Barbara Wanner. "These themes have also been echoed in recent digital economy work of the United Nations, the UN Internet Governance Forum, and other multilateral bodies."
The May 25 virtual conference, officially the "Joseph H. Alhadeff Digital Economy Conference," will consider how the IPPs have been reflected in some of the OECD's ground-breaking digital work - such as development of the AI Principles. Industry experts will also consider how the Principles may be employed to address challenges posed by the rapid pace of digital innovation and related changes to the digital ecosystem.
Registration is now open for this conference. Please contact Erin Breitenbucher to register: ebreitenbucher@uscib.org.
Members of the press and media are also welcome to register and join.
