Abstract
2022 has been a landmark year in the development of digital technologies and decisions whose consequences will be with us for decades to come. The year has likewise seen government responses in the form of policies aimed at enhancing as well as regulating these innovations and trends, and at times appearing to be barely keeping up. Officials and legislators are increasingly learning-by-doing amid the rapid pace of digital change (thereby demonstrating the need for structural and theoretical thinking vis-à-vis digital technologies).
