I was recently asked a simple question: “Is technology really neutral?” The answer is no. And that illusion has cost us dearly. Ophélie Coelho, a researcher in geopolitics, explained it clearly on RTS: for decades, governments treated technology as “someone else’s problem.” “Many political leaders were trained to believe that technology is not their subject […]
Last November, a few colleagues and I attended the Gartner Symposium in Barcelona. This conference always manages to be exhausting, slightly overwhelming, occasionally superficial -and genuinely excellent- all at the same time.
