technology has significantly changed our daily life, including social networks,
online shopping, and so on. The dramatic development of new business
applications demands new technologies to serve the needs. We have seen the
unprecedented progress in artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, to
name a few.</span></p>

issues in this booming digital economy. The vulnerability and potential threats
of the new techniques are yet to be examined, solutions are yet to be tested
and confirmed in practice. For example, we need detection method against GAN
based attacks, security and privacy
problems of federated learning to be identified and fixed, fraud and cheating
in digital economy ecosystems need to be detected and solved, there are a lot
of unknown in blockchain systems, issues in auto pilot cars are to be addressed.
We fully believe the solutions depend on the extensive collaboration between
academia and industry, depend on cross disciplinary effort from ICT and law,
social science and so on.</span></p>
