Policies - Friend or Foe?

Stephen Braim, Vice President, Governmental & Regulatory Affairs for IBM | David Barnes, Global Workforce Policy Executive, IBM

Policies - Friend or Foe?

Malaysian leaders, policy makers and business leaders will soon, if not already, have to grapple with the reality that it’s not only about preparing our workforce for the future but also ensuring the right policy actions are undertaken to transition out the economy in the age of disruption. The age of AI is upon us: we now have a digital responsibility, and the future of work discussion has to start now. We speak to Stephen Braim and David Barnes of IBM about how policies and regulations need to change to embrace new technologies before they become foes.
