An interesting case on violation of the antitrust law. The speaker brought up a point on the benefit of a large user base and extensive complementary services. In 10 years, it could be a classic case of network externality and monopoly. #techpol18w8

@TechPolicyMPhil An interesting list of potential disruptive technology for the next 20 years. Interesting how most of these technologies orbit around the themes of human-machine interaction,the perception of space, and efficiency. https://t.co/9d1Zy9owZQ… #techpol18w7
@TechPolicyMPhil The problem does not lie in the policy itself but the timing of implementation. It was introduced at the peak of the South China Sea dispute and the decision to offer strategic military land raised valid concerns on the trade-offs between national security and economic growth.
@TechPolicyMPhil I think I should rephrase it. The timing for Vietnam's policies aiming at attracting Chinese FDI caused social unrest in Vietnam due to the Vietnamese people's distrust toward the economic giant. Some reasons why could be found here https://t.co/VIDZia9JPw. #techpol18w6
By correcting one form of market failure, the government risk creating another. The spectrum auction is a good case study on how the monopoly market structure may arise through the allocation of the rights to public resources. #techpol18w5@TechPolicyMPhil https://t.co/SU1vKU88qN
@TechPolicyMPhil@CGenakos An interesting alternative framework to assess patent proposals. But how feasible is the implementation of these evaluations in the competitive and fast-changing market environment? Would the transaction costs involved be too big? https://t.co/YSwP8r8bfw #techpol18w4
It seems a tad too ambitious to tackle the emission through technology alone. A redesign of our society is needed to avoid the Malthusian-like future. Oh, I'm not talking about Thanos snapping his finger. Maybe, something more along this line? https://t.co/FnuFbNxmju #techpol18w3
https://t.co/DthcMOlq6M The drop in productivity growth is not unprecedented. The growth cycle correlates strongly with the incidents of breakthrough technology with a lag. This article lays out nicely the potential growth that digitalisation may bring about. #techpol18w2
The movement towards an AI-driven society is inevitable given the current adoption trend and technological progress. However, I believe that not sufficient emphasis is placed on relevant safety and security. #techpol18w1@TechPolicyMPhil @FLIxrisk https://t.co/oIlUUF724K
Our first Tech Pol topic of 2018 is finally here -- What does it mean to be an AI superpower? #techpolicy18w1 https://t.co/Vd1drAAXPq via @TheEconomist https://t.co/Vd1drAAXPq via @TheEconomist
