In collaboration with the @Network_Centers, we've engaged in a novel format of experiential learning concerning AI policies -> practice, working with a real-world use case. We plan to scale up the model internationally.
This summer at BKC, twelve students from around the world partnered with the City of Helsinki to tackle the question of how to ethically use AI in classrooms.🧵cyber.harvard.edu/story/2021…

What is digital self-determination, and what could it be in the future? Together with 25 students from around the globe and @Network_Centers contributors, we explored these questions. Check out the fruits of this networked research sprint, incl. an inaugural Wikipedia entry!
BKC’s latest research sprint, co-hosted by @digitalasiahub, explored how digital self-determination can and should play out in areas such as personal data, health, civic life, the gig economy, and the information economy. cyber.harvard.edu/story/2021…

Working with 40 participants from around the world & colleagues from @Network_Centers in a global classroom, examining the pandemic's impact on learning, and peer-producing meaningful outputs, is a manifestation of a theory of change that resonates with me. I'm grateful for it.
At a moment of unprecedented global challenges, our three-month research sprint, "Digital Ethics in Times of Crisis: COVID-19 & Access to Education and Learning Spaces," focused on the societal and ethical aspects of digital transformation and learning. cyber.harvard.edu/story/2021…

On Wed, 11 Nov @ 12:30 I'll be presenting a paper, showing how we could trigger inter-platform competition in the area of the digital economy by softening Net Neutrality rules. Firms should be allowed to compete on Internet speed. Disagree? Let's discuss: workcast.com/register?cpak=3…
