A smart – because scalable – AI regulation proposed by #AI4People, because tech should be regulated in its societal and normative contexts says Ugo Pagallo at #DigEnlight
"How to take administrative processes from the industrial to the digital age – towards a participatory-by-design institution?"
@ictlogist @Catalonia_EU about his research at #DigEnlight
"What is this all-human generated information about? Is our datafied environment leading to technological totalitarianism or rather commodified but comfortable spaces?
Which values do we ultimately care about?" asks @DirkHelbing at #DigEnlight
True words from Facebook representative at #DigEnlight ➡️
#freespeech does not mean #hatespeech.
FB's representative acknowledges that the company has an impact on democratic discourse.
Yet FB doesn't see itself in the position to impose stricter rules on #hatespeech. ⁉️
@annliffey makes citizens reflect upon their digital information diet 🍽📲
"My main concern is how we can empower users to reflect and make sense of online tools – overall, helping them in becoming true digitally literate citizens." #DigEnlight
"There is no silver bullet to countering #disinformation online. How can we redistribute resources for journalists to maintain media freedom – both in terms of political and economic pressures?" @woutvanwijk @newsmediaEU in conversation with @iMuses
"We acknowledge platforms' increased oversight processes but expect more initiatives around trustworthiness and means to empower research communities, providing access to datasets for unboxing the blackbox"
Many questions around deliberative democracy, elitism and the failures of digital technology ➡️ @ajkeen at #DigEnlight
Wise questions by @ajkeen at #DigEnlight:
❓Why don't we listen to others, a precondition to democracy?
❓Why have we become hostile to expertise?
❓How to marry the mob with expert knowledge?
