Technology Innovation and Regulation: Achieving Tech For Good - Charles Mok
This video features a wide-ranging conversation with Charles Mok, an internet entrepreneur, former member of Hong Kong’s Legislative Council, and founder of Tech for Good Asia, who now works on global digital policy at Stanford University. Drawing on his experience building one of Hong Kong’s earliest internet service providers and later shaping technology legislation, Mok reflects on how societies can balance innovation and regulation to protect privacy, digital rights, and democracy while still enabling “tech for good.” The interview explores what citizens and civil society can do to influence technology policy, how different regions approach issues like AI governance and platform power, and why participation and digital infrastructure—from electronic health records to undersea cables—matter for a fair and resilient digital future.
