san FRANCISCO (Reuters) – The World Economic Forum, the group headquartered in Switzerland, which sponsors the annual meeting of world leaders in Davos, is opening an office in san Francisco to explore regulatory issues and policies involving new technologies such as artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, and blockchain.
The office, called the Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, will have between 50 and 60 people working in about 10 different projects until the end of next year, said in an interview Murat beril sonmez, which was already an entrepreneur in the Valley (SA:) of Silicon and will lead the effort.
The goal is to develop policy approaches to solve the new problems created by new technologies, said the member of the board of directors of the Forum. Many of the “policies and regulations were written before the invention of the internet. Policy makers do not know what to do,” he said.
About half of the staff of the new centre will work full-time and the remainder will be composed by partners and other people from the industry, academia and government, said beril sonmez.
“Given the accelerated change brought by the innovation, the continuous public-private cooperation at the global level is more necessary than ever,” he said in a statement the founder and executive chairman of the Forum, Klaus Schwab.
