Social Networking 2050
Social Networking 2050ARPUTHA SELVARAJ A Mobile computing and wireless internet access will be ubiquitous in the future, allowing information to be accessed from anywhere instantly through gestures or other organic interfaces (Paragraph 1). Computers will be able to deliver information to us before we even ask for it using technologies like RFID tagging, Arduino chips, and projected displays (Paragraphs 2-3). While this homogenization of culture and equal access to information is positive, it also raises issues around privacy and identity theft as more data becomes available and centralized online profiles emerge (Paragraphs 4-5).
Digital citizenship
Digital citizenshipMarynelGagani Digital citizenship refers to appropriate and responsible use of technology. It has nine key elements: digital access, commerce, communication, literacy, etiquette, law, rights and responsibilities, health and wellness, and security.

Dawn ellmore discusses the ip rights of machine created content
Dawn ellmore discusses the ip rights of machine created contentDawn Ellmore Employment Dawn Ellmore discusses the challenges of determining intellectual property rights for content created by artificial intelligence. Current IP laws were drafted before AI capabilities were understood and do not clearly address machine-created content. While some countries have ruled that human-created content can be protected, the increasing independence and complexity of AI makes defining a single human creator difficult. There will be no clear answers on IP rights for AI content until courts set legal precedents by ruling on specific cases to clarify how existing laws apply in this new context.

Robots & their legal rights
Robots & their legal rightsBiswajit Das Robots should not be given legal rights at this time due to several challenges. Robots are artificial machines created by humans to operate automatically, but they do not have emotions or feelings like humans. Only humans have been recognized as having legal rights and responsibilities within a society. For robots to have rights, issues around what kinds of robots, what level of control creators and governments would have, what specific rights could be granted, and who would be accountable for misdeeds would need to be addressed. Careful analysis is required before regulating robots and considering conferring any independent existence or rights to them.

Ipr and enforcement mechanism
Ipr and enforcement mechanismGanesh Chindanuru This document discusses intellectual property rights (IPR) enforcement and digital rights management (DRM) in the context of copyright protection online. It notes the challenges of regulating copyright in the digital environment due to attributes like plasticity, transmissibility and processibility of digital content. While DRM aims to curb piracy by embedding ownership data, mere prevention is not enough - enforcement is also needed. The document analyzes issues around jurisdiction, liability and balancing author/user interests regarding fair use. It recommends a cautious approach for India that considers economic circumstances and affordable access to knowledge, rather than strict DRM adherence seen in developed countries.
Copyright Protection
Copyright ProtectionGrittyCC This document provides an overview of copyright protection for computer programs and software under Irish and EU law. Some key points covered include:
- Copyright automatically protects original software and computer programs without any formal registration. Protection lasts for the author's lifetime plus 70 years.
- While ideas and functionality cannot be copyrighted, the specific code and expression can be. Reproducing all or substantial parts of a program is infringement.
- Employers own the copyright for works created by employees within the scope of their employment.
- Temporary copies made during normal use of a program, such as loading into RAM, are allowed under copyright law. Other provisions address error correction, backup copies, and caching.

Personal data and the blockchain – how will the GDPR influence blockchain app...BigchainDB Simon Schwerin from BigchainDB talkst about privacy and blockchain:
There are many blockchain applications in the field of identity, IP, finance and energy that are working with personal data. As of May, 28 2018 the new EU GDPR will be implemented, with the aim to strengthen the human rights of individuals, by increasing protection and a feel of ownership of their personal data. It is also supposed to be designed to be technologically neutral and adaptable to processing personal data in different contexts, structures and manners. With regards to blockchain this leaves many questions open, to name a few:
Who will be the data controller in decentralized multi-node systems? – Is there an Accountability Gap? Difference of Private vs. Public set-ups?
Privacy by Design/Default and blockchain core features – Implementation or Clash of Principles? What about the right to be forgotten?
How could a blockchain privacy impact assessment (bPIA) look like to increase the chance of compliance with GDPR next year?

COALA IP: a blockchain-ready Intellectual property licensing protocol - Bigch...BigchainDB COALA IP is a blockchain-ready IP licensing protocol developed by the COALA IP working group to create an open, interoperable, and extensible standard for intellectual property rights management. The protocol aims to leverage existing technologies like blockchain and IPFS to create an auditable system for tracking IP ownership and licensing. It uses a directed graph data model with JSON objects linked via IPLD and Merkle trees to represent things like authors, creations, manifestations, licenses, and ownership transfers in a way that is blockchain-agnostic and can be queried across ledgers. The working group has published a whitepaper and is working on a reference implementation to establish COALA IP as a community-driven open standard.

Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.

How analogue intelligence complements AI
How analogue intelligence complements AIPaul Rowe
Artificial Intelligence is providing benefits in many areas of work within the heritage sector, from image analysis, to ideas generation, and new research tools. However, it is more critical than ever for people, with analogue intelligence, to ensure the integrity and ethical use of AI. Including real people can improve the use of AI by identifying potential biases, cross-checking results, refining workflows, and providing contextual relevance to AI-driven results.
News about the impact of AI often paints a rosy picture. In practice, there are many potential pitfalls. This presentation discusses these issues and looks at the role of analogue intelligence and analogue interfaces in providing the best results to our audiences. How do we deal with factually incorrect results? How do we get content generated that better reflects the diversity of our communities? What roles are there for physical, in-person experiences in the digital world?
