BSA’s 2022 US Policy Agenda Enables Digital Transformation

Software supports 16 million jobs in the US, including 12.5 million outside the tech sector. That number will continue to grow as digital transformation helps reshape companies of all sizes and in every industry. Modernizing tech policies—in the US and around the globe—will help make the benefits of the digital economy more accessible while ensuring technological innovation is responsible and trustworthy.

To aid policymakers as they create laws for the digital economy, BSA today released our 2022 US Policy Agenda, highlighting 10 priorities for the enterprise technology industry in the year to come. Those priorities include real data privacy, trustworthy artificial intelligence, smart and strong cybersecurity, and international data transfers. Our agenda is designed to help policymakers thoughtfully address key issues and spread the benefits of technology.

We look forward to working with Congress and the Administration to enact legislation that will ensure privacy and security, foster inclusive economic growth, and create an environment where technological innovation can thrive. To read our full agenda, visit https://www.bsa.org/policyagenda.
