This talk would identify these impacts, discuss their consequences, and examine how we should take up those challenges at both individual and policy levels. It would also introduce how the new programme of Data Science and Policy Studies (DSPS) at CUHK is designed to equip its graduates with the ability to master new technologies to produce positive social impacts in face of this new era.
