Core Values: The Currency of Digital Trust

In a world where connected technology can monitor everything from our heartbeats to our supply chains, values aren't just nice-to-have corporate statements – they're the foundation of digital trust. But whose values are encoded in our connected systems? When offshore sensors, AI, and privacy regulations collide in Australian technology deployments, values become a challenge.

This session examines how core values translate into technical requirements, why value alignment is becoming a competitive advantage, and what happens when connected technology systems embed conflicting ethical frameworks. We'll discuss the hidden values in your technology stack, explore the emergence of "values-as-a-service" in technology platforms, and ask whether Australia needs sovereign connected technology infrastructure to protect our digital values.
