Sooner Than You Think
The Path Forward for Tech
Breakthroughs like 5G, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and the internet of things are upending the way we live, work and play. They also present the technology industry with both opportunity and obligation. How do disruptors foster innovation while also ensuring that its benefits are shared widely and equitably? How can Silicon Valley use the rivers of digital data gathered on its platforms to improve lives and build businesses while also preventing privacy loss, threats to civil discourse and a widening of social, racial and economic divisions?

Data breaches are becoming more common and costly. The toll from a tarnished brand and client loss can be significant. And the stakes are even higher as more companies embrace cloud computing.
