For DPI to translate to economic growth and better governance it is essential that the policies, regulations and legislation concerning these technologies and the systems that use them are also modernised. This is where the Lab comes in. We have set up a DPI Reference Group – experts in laws related to digital technology at Stellenbosch University – who will help us support the process of reforming South Africa’s regulatory and policy environment to enable effective DPI development and implementation. Their expertise covers topics like data, privacy, procurement and automated decision-making.
