Emerging technologies have become a dominant force in our society — driving economics, policy and culture, and accounting for more than U.S. $40 trillion in global nominal GDP.
Those driving forces will be at the forefront when the George Washington University hosts its first annual GW Business & Policy Forum on April 25th. This year’s theme is Attacking Cybersecurity Risks.
