TRUST: THE CURRENCY OF THE DIGITAL FUTURE
If data is the new oil, then trust is indeed the currency of the future. While technology has enabled exponential opportunities to share and exchange information, it has also led to instances where information has been misused, resulting in an erosion of trust. This presentation will discuss how to develop a framework for innovation in a future where trust is paramount by rooting ourselves in principles including irrefutability, authenticity, inclusivity and relevance for consumers.
