SUMMARY:Principles for our digital future: Simulating the negotiation of a Global Digital Compact
DESCRIPTION:Event description\nOverview \nToday\, digital technologies are all around us\, embedded in our mobile phones\, enhancing industrial processes\, or powering the growth of economies. We talk about digital economies and societies\, digital rights\, digital inequalities\, and so on. Now\, imagine the world 10 or 20 years from now. What would it look like? Will digital technologies help create a better world\, or will they exacerbate inequalities? Digital will surely be part of our future\, but how do we make sure that this will be an ‘open\, free and secure digital future for all’? \nThis last question is now high on the diplomatic agenda: In 2024\, countries are expected to agree on a Global Digital Compact (GDC) outlining principles to guide the development of our digital future. Called for by the UN Secretary-General\, the GDC will cover issues such as connecting the unconnected\, avoiding fragmentation of the internet\, protecting human rights in the digital space\, and promoting a trustworthy internet. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the workshop will focus on one question: What principles for our digital future do we want the GDC to embed? To set the scene\, students will be introduced to the world of digital policy through (a) a brief exploration of the policy implications of digital technologies in areas such as human rights\, economy\, sustainable development\, and safety and security\, and (b) an overview of where and how such issues have been addressed (e.g. international organisations and initiatives\, existing rules and principles\, ongoing processes). Equipped with this information\, students will then put themselves in the shoes of diplomats and simulate the development of the GDC. The end goal? To come up with a brief document outlining a shared vision for the digital future. \nCo-organisers \nFondation Jean Monnet pour l’Europe | DiploFoundation | Geneva Internet Platform \nParticipants \nThe workshop will include 20-25 students selected following a call for expressions of interest. Attention will be given to ensuring that the selected participants come from different backgrounds\, including (but not limited to) digital humanities\, law\, political and social sciences\, and public administration. \nRegistrations are open until 29 October 2023. \nRegister×

This multifaceted endeavour underscores Diplo’s commitment to shaping the future of international diplomacy and global engagement. \n\nIn Jovan Kurbalija’s tradition of linking AI and digital developments to local dynamics\, he wrote a text on connecting AI developments to Kenya’s bottom-up economy\, calling it Jua Kali AI\, named after Kenya’s informal economy.
