OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Governments around the world are struggling to keep pace with rapid technological change, from escalating cyber threats to breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and quantum computing. Emerging technologies are reshaping global markets, transforming security structures, and redefining how power is exercised. Amidst intensifying geopolitical competition, these advances are testing the resilience of public institutions and integrity of international norms.
How can governments and industry build capacity to innovate responsibly at the digital frontier? In an increasingly open-source era, what strategies can organisations adopt to balance security concerns with the imperative to lead in the global diffusion of new technologies?
Join Jen Easterly, former Director of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Margrethe Vestager, former Vice President of the European Commission, and Michael Wooldridge, Ashall Professor of the Foundations of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Oxford, for an expert panel covering how societies cope with rapid technological change, competition, regulation, and security. The panel will be moderated by Ciaran Martin, Professor of Practice at the Blavatnik School of Government.
This event is part of the Global Tech Policy Seminar Series hosted by the Oxford Programme for Cyber and Technology Policy.
