What You Will Get

  • Understanding the Tech-Policy Ecosystem

    We’ll start with a high-level overview of how governments, courts, and industry leaders shape the tech landscape. You’ll learn how legislation, regulations, and legal rulings influence innovation, from AI and data privacy to platform governance and emerging technologies.

  • How Legislation Enables & Controls Innovation

    Next, we’ll examine the dual role of policy in both driving and constraining technological progress. We’ll explore key laws and regulations—such as AI governance, cybersecurity rules, and platform liability—and how they shape the decisions of startups, big tech, and policymakers.

  • Navigating the Future of Tech & Policy

    Finally, we’ll look at recent case studies where tech forced policy responses and where legislation reshaped the industry. We’ll also discuss the impact of Trump’s reelection on the tech landscape and how to stay informed and prepared for what’s ahead for the next 4 years and beyond.
