Discussion:
At what moment of the digital journey are we? What is intrinsic to the internal dynamics of the internet and the internet of things? What balance can be build between legislation and network effects? Do we see different regions doing better in terms of strategic agency than others? Are the economic benefits of AI invested in new and better infrastructure, for example globally fifty percent of pure, clean water is lost. Can we steer then direction to humanoid robots away to physical ai to self healing energy, water and new ways of addressing connectivity in for example 6G?
What are the next steps in governance now, can there be a new global governance, what are the lessons learned from the web and IoT – as well as some of its specific aspects – what will privacy and security look like in ten years, will identity be worked in on the level of the chip, or OS, how can we operationalise an ethical guideline?
