What Does OTA Stand For?
OTA stands for Office Of Technology Assessment
The Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) was a former agency of the United States Congress, established to provide objective and nonpartisan analysis of complex scientific and technological issues. Its primary function was to assist policymakers in making informed decisions by assessing the implications of emerging technologies and their potential impacts on society, the economy, and public health. The OTA conducted studies, produced reports, and offered recommendations based on thorough research, aiming to enhance legislative understanding and facilitate responsible governance in technology-related matters. The agency was disbanded in 1995, but its legacy continues to influence discussions on science and technology policy.
