This session investigates how technology can be harnessed not only for innovation but also for equity, ethics and sustainability. It emphasizes the dual role of technology as both an enabler of progress and a potential source of inequality if not governed responsibly. The discussions will highlight how digital infrastructure, AI, automation and immersive technologies can be deployed to bridge divides, empower marginalized communities and create sustainable futures.
