India International Centre, New Delhi, July 2023: Governance of emerging technologies requires a balance between market and consumer interests, between innovation and user protection. Such agility and precision in governance requires empirical underpinnings. The inaugural ‘Esya Centre - Communeeti Conclave on Emerging Technology’ was a multi-stakeholder initiative to bring together academics and practitioners, to help build specialised knowledge to serve this objective. The event also included an overview of the ‘SAFER Standards’, voluntary standards aimed at enhancing consumer trust and safety in marketplaces for Non-Fungible Tokens in India.
