Tech Evolution in the New Normal: Challenges & Opportunities

Introduction

As we grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic that has redefined norms across sectors, it is essential to analyze its impact across geographies and sectors.

While the onset of the fourth industrial revolution continues to disrupt the way we work, interact, collaborate, live, and even exist; navigating this new normal in a tech-driven world is both challenging and replete with opportunities.

From the rapid rise of online learning and as well as healthcare mechanisms to managing working from home, technology has come to our rescue and helped navigate this pandemic in innumerable ways.

On the other hand, it has given rise to a more involved debate on data-sharing, privacy, and other dimensions of emerging technologies. In such a scenario, the choice to humans to understand, analyze, and use technology will be critical.

Subjective issues such as compassion, dignity, ethics will assume importance in hitherto unforeseen ways. As we hopefully start contemplating a post-pandemic world, it is important to assess the role of technology in existing systems and in creating more efficient and effective ones.

This webinar will explore this ‘new normal’ from a technology, societal and humanistic point of view.
