What is AI for Good about? When did it start, why, and where is accountability taken in? What’s the level of awareness of digital impact (positive and negative) of people, society and businesses? What are their leaders doing about it? Are there already instruments available that can be deployed to support and cater for accountability? Who should be at the table on these ever-growing opportunities, challenges and related accountability? And, how can you engage? Concrete examples throughout the world, on all kind of different levels, in this dialogue with Stephen Ibaraki, Chairman REDDS Capital.
Marietje Schaake – Stanford University
A dialogue with Marietje Schaake, International Policy Director at Stanford University’s Cyber Policy Center.
Beyond the broken, magical dreams of an open, free and inclusive internet, how to develop a global digital policy? What does a global internet mean? What is its role? Who should be at the table? How to balance governing technology and market dynamics, and each of their responsibilities and related (co)accountability? How to cater for an online open democratic society, and its various multi-stakeholders processes? And where and how can the Institute for Accountability in the Digital Age help facilitate these?
Prof. Dr. Tatjana Welzer – University of Maribor
How to work on accountability, starting with the core/nucleus such as an university faculty, and working one’s way out with global reach. When lecturing students in electrical engineering, where to start? What is missing in the official curriculum, set by national government? What do students know about accountability in these digital and otherwise technical domains in general and the cybersecurity dimension in particular? And, how do student actually take in cybersecurity and privacy and be accountable from a practical point of view? How to help improve or fix that multipersona gap, and how to use those learnings beyond the university, and do one’s part in the country, region, union and globally? Practical lessons learned and good practices in this Dialogue with Prof. Dr. Tatjana Welzer, University of Maribor.
