#IMF, winter, 2020: Shaping a #Data #Economy - by Murat Sonmez, Member of the Managing Board of World Economic Forum, Head of the Forum's Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, San Francisco.

"The world needs a new system of governance for the buying & selling of data"

"Tech was already speeding ahead when the global #pandemic began. Now it is in even higher gear. More than 80% of business executives are accelerating plans to digitalize work processes & deploy new tech. By 2025, employers will divide work equally between #humans & #machines."

"How can we ensure that all of society benefits, & not just the privileged few? ... #Data is the key to unlocking the potential of the #4IR. It fuels AI, precision medicine, robotics, & the IoTs"

Precision PH Summit, w/ White House & Gates Found., 2016:

"Building #trust - Underpinning progress across 4IR technologies, whether it’s diagnosing rare diseases or improving agricultural yields, is trust. Without trust in the data we are sharing, the system could #collapse."

"One obvious answer is to use blockchain... #Blockchain’s peer-to-peer security architecture, transparency, & rapidly evolving features—such as #smartcontracts & tokens—make it an ideal platform..."
