The OECD Global Forum on Technology (GFTech) is organising a series of Horizon Scanning Dialogues, each hosted online and focused on a specific emerging technology. Each dialogue aims to explore potential technology opportunities and risks to generate forward-looking insights on possible impacts for economies and societies, as well as related policy implications.
This webinar will explore the most exciting breakthroughs in advanced robotics. It aims to bring together experts, government officials and policymakers looking to leverage new technologies for economic and social benefit while managing risks. The event will examine what it will take to move promising systems from research and pilots to reliable and safe deployment at scale, and what the associated social and political impacts are likely to be, including the future of key industries. The dialogue will also include a deep dive into the safety and security considerations that these developments in robotics raise, including for human health and livelihoods, the future of work, and for human-robot interaction, including new forms of human augmentation.
