How Will Technology Shape, and Be Shaped By, Policy Choices in the Coming Decades? A Research Agenda from the Technology Futures Policy Summit

Abstract

The RAND Corporation Technology Futures Policy Summit convened a group of 15 top thinkers from industry, academia, and government to think broadly about how emerging technologies in the coming decade could change the balance of policy and decisionmaking between national governments and other actors, such as large technology companies. The summit was originally motivated by Ian Bremmer's article "The Technopolar Moment."1 Bremmer argues that technology companies and their most influential leaders (techno-utopians) are gaining power and influence at the expense of governments and could take a leading role in defining policy in some areas in the future.
