We’re living through a technological revolution where the boundaries between the physical and virtual are blurring, transforming the way we work, meet, consume, educate and entertain. Is this an exciting brave new world, or do we risk stumbling into a sci-fi style dystopia?

Those are the questions behind the World Economic Forum's Global Technology Governance Summit (GTGS) which brings together leaders from more than 50 governments and 600 companies - to get to the nitty gritty of how we ensure technology works for all.

Listen to this episode of Radio Davos, cohosted by Nikkei journalist Hiroyuki Nishimura, for an overview of the event.
