The attendees will understand the impact of technology on their individual lives specific to issues of privacy and ethics in technology.
The Humanized Internet is focused on democratizing communications inclusively. We are in the midst of an algorithmic shaping society where the polarities between centralization and decentralization exist with implications of a trust deficit in the very institutions we have learned to trust.
Foundational is our identity sets that which we may have on line; off-line and that which is associated to a notion of digital sovereignty. When people do not have an identity and/or the identity personae are seized, the potential for abuse is great, think human trafficking as an example.
Blockchain, AI, Cybersecurity and Privacy are core technologies that provide tools for the individual to retain and maintain his/her identity sets. However, there are other societal factors that impact the Humanized Internet, for example, overall inclusion in the form of multi-generational teams; turning so called disabilities into “coolabilities” and understanding that the Future of Work will require all of us to pose questions as to the overall ethics and governance of what we are developing and for what purpose.
