In this session, Belfer Center Director, 25th U.S. Secretary of Defense, and TAPP Faculty Director Ash Carter will lead a discussion with our 2021-2022 TAPP Fellows to look at the role technology played this year in a few key priority areas: crisis management, consumer safety, inclusion and equity, national competitiveness, and the information ecosystem. The session will also dive into ways we can improve the development and management of technology to better elevate concepts of public purpose, touching on the specific projects of each fellow.
