UK to challenge governments that use tech for ‘tools of oppression’
The UK government’s International Technology Strategy, unveiled Wednesday, is a roadmap for helping the country reach “tech superpower status” by 2030 and challenge foreign governments that use technology for “tools of oppression.”
The strategy outlines four principles — to be open, responsible, secure and resilient — and details various priorities and actions, including international collaboration, to support the delivery of the UK’s Science and Technology Framework and establish a set of global technology-based partnerships to deliver “mutually beneficial” objectives.
