The Digital Regulatory Academy (DRA), in partnership with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), hosted a specialized program on the sidelines of the Telecommunication Development Advisory Group (TDAG) meeting held in Geneva, titled: “Agile, Collaborative Regulation for Emerging and Frontier Technologies”, discussing ways to develop regulatory frameworks to keep pace with rapid transformations in the global digital economy.
The program featured a review of several key topics related to the regulation of modern technologies, including artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure, and quantum technologies. It also addressed the main challenges faced by global regulatory entities in dealing with these technologies, and showcased international models and experiences on adopted regulatory approaches. The session was attended by regulators, policymakers, international experts, and government representatives.
The program also covered the framework for sustainable regulation of future technologies by presenting practical methods that support the development of flexible regulatory frameworks capable of adapting to technical development. In addition, an open discussion was held with participants on opportunities to enhance international collaboration among regulators, aiming to support the development of sustainable digital environments and support the readiness of regulatory systems to keep up with advanced technologies.
This program reflects the Kingdom’s commitment to advancing development initiatives in developing countries, while strengthening its position as a key strategic partner in international organizations. It also reflects CST’s efforts to strengthen the Kingdom’s role in supporting international dialogue on the future of digital regulation and exchanging expertise with international organizations and global regulators, contributing to shape a regulatory environment that supports digital transformation goals and enhances the Kingdom’s global competitiveness.
