Innovative Policy Solutions for a Smarter Digital Future

Policy 4.0 is shaping future’s policy landscape today, transforming tech challenges into structured policies for societal improvement.

Our Work

Augmented Democracy using AI Twins

Conducted world’s first LLM-driven direct democracy experiment with live GenZ voters. We created two AI Variants: (1) Digital Twins, and (2) AI Economicus, testing the GPT-4 model to predict complex voting choice, and its ability to act as an objective, data-driven assistant. Participants’ testimonials indicated a high adoption tendency for AI-driven Voting Assistants.

Interdependencies report on systemic asset-linkages in crypto ecosystems

We highlight the role of interconnections, systemic risks and contagion in a clear web of “systemically important crypto institutions” for risk management & crisis control mechanisms. The findings from our report have been incorporated into the final crypto asset guidelines issued by the G20 as well as recognized by IMF-FSB and financial regulators across 44 countries.

Expert Delegation on AI to EU Parliament and EU Commission

We contributed to high-level expert group discussions on governance frameworks for AI, held at both the European Parliament and the European Commission. These engagements took place in the lead-up to the formal adoption of the EU’s AI Act in 2023, allowing us to provide early strategic inputs on one of the world’s most comprehensive AI regulatory efforts.

GPAI Presentation on AI Policy

Presented our ongoing AI policy research at the invited expert panel – “Democratizing Harmful Content Moderation” during the GPAI 2023 New Delhi summit (under India’s presidency).

About Us

In an era defined by unprecedented technological acceleration, the world is undergoing a transformation unlike any other—fast, complex, and interconnected. The old frameworks of governance, regulation, and economic policy are quickly proving insufficient in the face of exponential change. Where once industries operated in distinct silos, today’s systems blur boundaries. In this environment, new approaches are essential not just to keep pace but to thrive.

At Policy 4.0, we understand that these rapid shifts in technology have far-reaching implications for how societies govern, compete, and innovate. We operate at the intersection of government, industry, and academia, bringing together expertise from a range of domains—engineering, law, finance, business, and policy—to solve today’s toughest challenges.

We don’t just study the future—we help shape it.
