Office of Technology Evaluation

The Office of Technology Evaluation (OTE) is a group within a government or organization that analyzes new and emerging technologies. Its role is to assess how these technologies might impact society, the economy, and existing systems. By providing expert insights and forecasts, the OTE helps policymakers make informed decisions about adopting or regulating new innovations. Essentially, it acts as a bridge between technological development and practical, responsible implementation, ensuring that potential benefits are maximized while risks are understood and managed.
