      Hello everyone,

      As someone in the tech space, I’ve been reflecting a lot on how quickly innovation is moving — especially in areas like artificial intelligence, surveillance, digital currencies, and data governance.

      It feels like governments around the world are constantly playing catch-up.

      My questions to the forum:

      🔹 Do you think current political structures and legal systems are equipped to handle the pace of technological disruption?
      🔹 Where should the line be drawn between innovation and regulation?
      🔹 And what role should citizens, developers, and business owners play in shaping the policies that govern emerging tech?
      We’re now seeing major geopolitical implications from technology — from misinformation and election interference to AI in warfare and central bank digital currencies. It’s clear that governance models may need to evolve just as rapidly as the tech they aim to regulate.

      Would love to hear your thoughts — especially from those in policy, law, governance, or civic tech spaces.
