Panel Session: Industry 4.0 and Regulation – Risks and mitigation strategies

The technological possibilities of the 4th Industrial Revolution will drive an increase in data flow and analytics. Specific laws and other measures, particularly related to data property and security and telecommunication infrastructure, are fundamental to a better use of these possibilities by the industry. With the greater adoption of AI, robotics and digitisation of industry there is also an impact on traditional employment structures; not to mention a rising wave of protectionist policies are emerging that have the potential to reshape traditional value chains. This session will review some of the biggest risks and challenges facing policymakers and industrial leaders alike as they seek to develop effective regulation to help mitigate the most significant risks presented by industrialisation 4.0 without stifling the opportunities that it creates.
• How can companies and government work to define these specifications?
• What measures can be taken to minimise the number of cyber attacks?
• How can we assure that the personal data legislation does not stop the international data flow?
• What are the regulatory challenges for telecommunications infrastructure?
• How real is the risk of technology driving greater levels of unemployment, or will technology open up new jobs of the future? What measures can be taken to help shape job creation in the 4th industrial revolution?
• Protectionism – will 4IR strengthen protectionist policies or eliminate borders?
• Will 4IR lead to greater competition or greater opportunities for collaboration?
