This problem is a UK government area of research interest (ARI) that was originally posted at https://ari.org.uk/ by a UK government organisation to indicate that they are keen to see research related to this area.
Opportunities and threats posed by new technologies, such as the dark web, distributed ledger technologies, the internet of things, additive manufacturing and connected cities.
