The possible productivity benefits of digital
technologies are urgently needed.
-Output and productivity in US firms that adopt data-driven decision making are 5% to 6% higher than expected given those firms’ other investments in ICTs
- (Brynjolfsson, Hitt and Kim, 2011).
-The Internet of Things reduces costs among industrial adopters by 18% on average.
- (Vodatafone, 2015). -Autonomous mine haulage trucks could increase output by 15-20%, lower fuel consumption by 10-15% and reduce maintenance costs by 8%.
- (Citigroup-Oxford Martin School, 2015).

Policy challenges include
-Broadening access to critical ICT infrastructures. -Reducing barriers to diffusion, increasing interoperability. -Resolving issues of liability, transparency and ownership. -Managing digital security and privacy.

Could have positive environmental effects E.g. It permits many materials to be shaped in ways previously possible only with plastics. E.g. 3D-printed parts can also lower the environmental impacts of some products (3D-printed nozzles in jet engines lower fuel consumption).

But how widespread will 3D-printing be in manufacturing ?
Much machining work is now replaced by 3D-printing : Boeing has replaced hundreds of parts. But machining is a small part of manufacturing (+/- 5% by value).

But will 3D-printing become widespread in manufacturing ?
Much machining is now replaced by 3D-printing – and Boeing has replaced hundreds of parts. But machining is a small share of all production (+/- 5% by value).
From a ‘green’ standpoint, policy challenges include:
• Create a voluntary certification system to label 3D
printers with different grades of sustainability; • Remove intellectual property barriers to enable 3D
printing of repair parts for products no longer in production.
• X-border shipment of “printer” cartridges (toxic materials)
• Purity of required feedstock precludes using recycled materials.
Bio-based products are becoming
widespread and familiar

challenges, for instance…

-Screening processes for manufacture and sale of synthetic DNA (avoid dubious customers); -Public-private investments in bio-refineries; -Improve regulation, e.g. -Boost the use of standards to reduce barriers to trade in bio-based products. -Improve waste regulation. - Develop interdisciplinary skills
Selected Themes – Nantoechnology
Electron microscope image of gold mesh. Each hole is 175 nanometers in diameter, smaller than the wavelength of light. Can increase efficiency of solar cells
175%.
Nanotechnology-enabled printing of solar cells (can move away from energy-intensive zone-melting processes used for traditional silicon solar cells).
Selected Themes - New materials

New policy issues: cybersecurity risks. Older policy issues: Close collaboration needed between industry, universities, research funding agencies and public laboratories.
Some Cross-Cutting Issues
Sound science and R&D policies are
essential
…but many countries have reduced
public spending on R&D…

Cross-country differences in resource flows to patenting firms Change in financial inputs associated with a 10% change in patent stock
(2003-2010)

- Just 18% of German companies familiar with the term ‘Industry 4.0’
- Only 4% of German businesses have implemented digitalised and networked production processes or have plans to begin doing so.

For example:
- We may need to rethink some aspects of IP rules in a world where machines can invent things.
- Will 3D printing create challenges for patent eligibility, for instance if printed human tissue improves on the original ?
- Should there be a public domain for designs that allow parts for old products to be printed?
NPR may need changes to labour
market policies
Complex aspects of the work of software engineers can be performed by algorithms (Hoos, 2012).

- More self-employment, as technology displaces labour and lowers start-up costs?
- Are any Labour Ministries preparing for driverless vehicles ?
- More sub-national policy, as NPR technologies amplify effects of initial skills endowments ?

-But it is not only about balancing skills supply and demand. -Increasing importance of inter-disciplinary education and research? -More interaction with industry as the knowledge content of production rises?
Other cross-cutting issues
Policy also needs long-term thinking.
This has challenges, of course: Robert Metcalfe, inventor of Ethernet, in 1995: "I predict the Internet will soon go spectacularly supernova and in 1996 catastrophically collapse”
Public attitudes have shaped regulation of new technologies in the recent past
Public acceptance might also be important.
