Countries around the world are increasingly evaluating the use of digital public infrastructure (DPI) as a tool to achieve their socio-economic goals. India has pioneered a large-scale deployment of DPI, having issued 1.3 billion identifiers and processing half the world’s electronic payments by volume today. Other countries — notably Brazil and Estonia — are also exploring their own models. Considered together, these varying approaches have the potential to foster greater inclusion, spur new forms of commerce and innovation, and reconfigure the relationship between citizens and the state. While this digital transformation offers much promise, it also carries significant peril, notably for privacy, data security, and human rights.

The goal of this workshop is to convene academic experts and practitioners to help identify the parameters of responsible DPI. The workshop is split into two sessions: Each will begin with panelists sharing initial provocations, followed by all attendees participating in a free-flowing dialogue. The outcome of this workshop will be a white paper outlining a DPI research agenda.
