SUMMARY:NGI Forward Salon: Lightest/Trust Infrustructure
DESCRIPTION:The NGI ESSIF-Lab project TRAIN (Trust Management Infrastructure) leverages a decentralized data protected approach for a Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) context. It proposes an infrastructure for SSI that can be used to verify conformance of the issuer to a certain policy and trust scheme. This is important because an ever-increasing number and variety of transactions are conducted digitally over the Internet. At the same time\, identity and other credential schemes are evolving towards decentralized complex and open approaches; anyone can be entitled as issuer. For all this\, trust is a central empowering factor. So how can you be sure that the entity\, be it person or organization making the transaction or issuing a credential is really who they say they are? \nThe challenge of decentralized trust is not entirely new. Trading\, for example\, has always involved trust and risk. Whether it is for barter\, or for promissory notes. Before modern communication\, when trading with someone you did not know\, you would take up references from someone you did trust. The longer the distance\, the more difficult and risky that was. Long-distance trading sometimes involved family members\, travelling and becoming established in those distant locations. In the Twenty-First Century\, sophisticated methods to provide that trust between counterparties have been developed\, but still rely on someone to provide the references. These now take the form of ‘Trusted Third Parties’ who may be regulated from within an industry itself\, or through legislation\, to provide ‘certification’. So\, how do you obtain the details of the certifications that you need to satisfy acceptable risk and build trust? \nThe EU H2020 project LIGHTest has developed a flexible approach for this challenge: global lightweight trust infrastructure providing parties of electronic transactions with automatic validation of trust based on their individual trust policies through the publication\, querying\, and cross-jurisdiction translation of information relevant in making decisions. LIGHTest empowers counterparties to establish trust and awareness of risk through recognizing the ‘Chain of Trust’ and associated certification. It can also provide automatic verification of that certification for every transaction. Verifiers are empowered to make their own trust decisions while different actors (industry organizations\, NGOs) can set up their own trust schemes\, based on established ones like eIDAS. \nFraunhofer\, SICPA\, and Validated ID will present and demonstrate the results of their work in LIGHTest and their NGI ESSIF Lab Projects.

SUMMARY:NGI Forward Salon Foundationals: Blockchain Ecologies
DESCRIPTION:NGI Forward Salon Foundationals: Blockchain Ecologies with Primavera De Filippi\nPrimavera De Filippi will address self-sovereign identity\, the challenges it faces in order to guarantee both unicity (no more than one user per identifier) and singularity (no more than one identifier per user)\, the way in which these challenges have been addressed by Kiva and WFP through the use of biometrics\, and then open up to alternative mechanisms\, such as for instance the recently launched Proof-of-Humanity initiative\, using web-of-trust and decentralized verification systems to ensure singularity of identities.\nwww.proofofhumanity.id \n“Self-sovereign identity is a relatively new area of research\, which is only now starting to materialize into real-world applications of new digital identity management systems. This is particularly valuable for applications that have the ability to scale and greatly improve financial and social inclusion of vulnerable populations (Blakstad and Allen\, 2018). Yet\, it is important to keep in mind that while there are emerging best practice standards and primitives for self-sovereign identity (McMullen et al.\, 2019)\, there is no generic identity protocol that solves all use cases. As demonstrated by the Kiva and WFP case studies\, identity is inherently use case dependent. Interoperability and standardization will be important for scale\, but the success of a particular identity application will depend on how its deployment is tailored to the use cases and local conditions. A successful identity management system will therefore need to be sufficiently flexible to adapt to the inherently malleable nature of human identity.” \nSource: www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fbloc.2019.00028/full \nFront. Blockchain\, 23 January 2020 | doi.org/10.3389/fbloc.2019.00028 \nSelf-Sovereign Identity in a Globalized World: Credentials-Based Identity Systems as a Driver for Economic Inclusion. By Fennie Wang1 and Primavera De Filippi. \n“Ultimately\, therefore\, the technological guarantees of blockchain technology (in terms of\, e.g. transparency\, immutability\, non-repudiability\, etc.) may reduce the need for third-party’s scrutiny and oversight over these institutions. By enhancing the perceived confidence in the operations of both public and private institutions\, blockchain technology can reduce the level of risk or vulnerability that is generally associated with trust.1 As such\, the technology could indirectly contribute to increasing the level of trust that people may be willing to confer in these institutions\, because of the higher degree of predictability associated with their actions. Indeed\, thanks to blockchain technology\, people would no longer need to trust these institutions in toto\, but only to the extent necessary for them to carry on these specific operations that cannot be codified into the formal and deterministic language of a blockchain-based system.” \nSource:\nwww.sciencespo.fr/public/chaire-numerique/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Blockchain-Technology-as-an-Instrument-for-Global-Governance-P.-De-Filippi-1.pdf \nBlockchain and the Law: The Rule of Code\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Blockchain-Law-Rule-Primavera-Filippi/dp/0674976428 \nModeration by Mantalena Kaili (ELONTECH) and Rob van Kranenburg (NGI Forward WP 4 Thinktank) \nFirst respondents are Loretta Anania (EC) and Gaëlle Le Gars (NGI Forward WP 4 Thinktank) \nThe Salons reflect the views of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission but form part of the project’s overarching recommendations for the NGI and future European internet policy.

SUMMARY:NGI Forward Salon Internet of Things
DESCRIPTION:NGI FORWARD SALON INTERNET OF THINGS WITH ALICIA ASIN\nThe promise of the IoT market has been growing for the last 15 years\, with many market analysts predicting that we would reach 50 billion devices by the magic year 2020. Now the reality is a little more conservative (we’re about 41 billion devices short of the forecast). Has IoT failed to live up to its promise? No\, but the industry is evolving in a radically different direction to the one predicted a decade and a half ago. \nSo what are the main barriers to IoT adoption that are preventing the industry realising the hype of the mid-2000s\, and how should the industry adapt to them? Libelium’s CEO\, Alicia Asín\, explains concepts such as the hyper fragmentation of the market\, the relevance of the hardware\, the management of the obsolescence\, the security versus the privacy and what to expect from the IoT market after Covid. \nFirst respondent: Gérald Santucci\,\nMember of Global Forum’s International Scientific Committee chez Items International\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/geraldsantucci/

SUMMARY:NGI Forward Salon Foundationals: On Explainability
DESCRIPTION:NGI Forward Salon Foundationals: On Explainability with Beatrice Fazi\n29 March 2021; 11.00am CET \nIn this talk\, M. Beatrice Fazi will present and discuss her latest philosophical work on the issue of explainability in AI. The talk will be based on her published article:\nFazi\, M. Beatrice (2020) ‘Beyond Human: Deep Learning\, Explainability and Representation’\, Theory\, Culture & Society. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1177/0263276420966386 \nRegister here: https://app.livestorm.co/made-group/salon-foundationals-on-explainability-with-beatrice-fazi\nArticle’s abstract\nThis article addresses computational procedures that are no longer constrained by human modes of representation and considers how these procedures could be philosophically understood in terms of ‘algorithmic thought’. Research in deep learning is its case study. This artificial intelligence (AI) technique operates in computational ways that are often opaque. Such a black-box character demands rethinking the abstractive operations of deep learning. The article does so by entering debates about explainability in AI and assessing how technoscience and technoculture tackle the possibility to ‘re-present’ the algorithmic procedures of feature extraction and feature learning to the human mind. The article thus mobilises the notion of incommensurability (originally developed in the philosophy of science) to address explainability as a communicational and representational issue\, which challenges phenomenological and existential modes of comparison between human and algorithmic ‘thinking’ operations. \nSpeaker’s bio\nDr M. Beatrice Fazi is Lecturer in Digital Humanities in the School of Media\, Arts and Humanities at the University of Sussex\, United Kingdom. Her research focuses on the ontologies and epistemologies produced by contemporary technoscience\, particularly in relation to issues in artificial intelligence and computation and to their impact on culture and society. Dr Fazi has published extensively on the limits and potentialities of the computational method\, on digital aesthetics and on the automation of thought. Her monograph Contingent Computation: Abstraction\, Experience\, and Indeterminacy in Computational Aesthetics was published by Rowman & Littlefield International in 2018. \nThis presentation will be followed by a roundtable discussion on the epistemologies of AI\, with Loretta Anania\, M. Beatrice Fazi\, Gaëlle Le Gars and Rob van Kranenburg. \n\nM.

SUMMARY:NGI Forward Salon Foundationals: On Participation
DESCRIPTION:NGI Forward Salon Foundationals: On Participation with Federico Bonelli\nThis talk has 3 parts\, the first should be exposed in 15 minutes the second 20 and the third needs another 15. Don’t take notes\, I will distribute mines and the slides at the end. \nI will try to stop and mark the end of a part\, taking in your contributions on the chat. \nThe occasion for this talk has been given to me by a paper co-authored with Sabrina Sauer titled “Collective improvisation as a means to responsibly govern serendipity in social innovation processes” published in the Journal of Responsible Innovation in 2020. \nIs an open-access paper and you can find it from www.trasformatorio.net website and from the link included in this talk presentation. \nIntroduction to the Lab\nTrasformatorio is a laboratory\, artistic in scope\, where I have experimented ways to create site-specific arts. Is named Trasformatorio because we believed that the scope of genuine art is to engage transformation. The scope was to create a laboratory for enacting transformations. A Laboratory from latin Laboratorium\, a place/space/time to work in. Work is a term that has many meanings in our tradition\, not only the synonymous of labour. There is the work you do on yourself\, the work you do for others\, the work of the actor to possess their character’s actions upon the textual matter of the play. Work is what you do with presence\, intent and quality. And these three concepts\, among others\, are what the artist is busy with most of the time. \nI worked with technology\, most of the time hacking together from pieces that were intended for something else\, rarely doing twice the same operation. I studied many things for many different reasons\, rarely the canonical ones.  When I was exposed to the current methodologies for innovation and design I felt that a big occasion was missing. That there was a coherent corpus of reality bending techniques I had become aware in the field of arts that were watched over by the hype cycle prone industry of innovation. I began using them and cross pollinating. I am still doing it in many ways.

SUMMARY:NGI Forward Salon: Digital Sovereignty in eID-Solutions | Part 2
DESCRIPTION:NGI Forward Salon Digital Sovereignty in eID-Solutions – Self-sovereign\, Centralised or Privatised? Part 2\nWhy does identity technology matter and to which stakeholders? There are three big stakeholders today; the banks (and financial sector intermediaries in general)\, the ICT sector\, and governments (public services\, agencies\, legislators\, ombudsmen). Other stakeholders include civil society and foundations\, including the open-source open hardware developers and other fringe players that are important to the innovation ecosystem.\nOriginally\, eID was promoted top-down as a way to simplify the citizen’s relationship to the public administration (eg welfare receipts\, taxation). The eIDAS standardisation took many years to agree on how to solve this problem with effective digital authentication technologies (mutual acceptance gains for e-signatures) and a variety of reputable validation mechanisms. It has worked and served its purpose even in the transatlantic context. In EU Member States\, eIDAS now requires at least one central node and a bridge to facilitate the exchange of records to all other nodes\, thus functioning in an interoperable manner.\nBut soon came ‘newer’ technologies and new problems\, for which a revision of the eIDAS regulation is now needed. There is a recognized need to address the complications\, both in terms of cross-border data flows and in terms of certified intergovernmental solutions. \nWe are in a very interesting historical moment where forces (and solid arguments) for centralization and forces (and solid arguments) for decentralization seem to hold each other in check. \nWithout a clear vision on identity\, society will have no agency since the capability to produce future value (data) is not under regional\, nor national\, nor international regulated control. \nTherefore it is important to have a good overview of what is happening in different parts of the world to see if we can not combine innovative solutions. \nIn this session\, we will hear perspectives from Germany\, Next Generation Internet projects\, European Blockchain Partnership and Digital Transformation Agency Australia. \nSPEAKERS\n\nDaniël Du Seuil\nConvenor European Self Sovereign Identity Framework (EBSI) at European Blockchain Partnership\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/danielduseuil/\nLoretta Anania\nscientific officer at DG Connect\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/loretta-anania-2765898/\nJuleigh Cook\nActing Head Digital Identity and myGov strategy stream.

(Prof. Dr. Mario Martini). \nSCOPE\nElectronic identity (eID) is the enabler of digital transformation: whether in business or in public administration\, citizens and companies need a convenient and secure way to identify themselves in the digital world. \nIn the long term\, however\, an electronic identity should not be limited to simply provide a digital twin to the state-issued ID document. The vision of an eID already shows great potential for revolutionizing a wide range of digital processes\, such as opening a bank account\, verifying an academic degree\, or applying for social welfare payments. \nTime is running out for the government’s own solutions\, because large technology companies have discovered the power of convenient eID solutions that allow them to collect a large amount of data. This makes it more difficult to find holistic\, interoperable solutions in which the user does not become a data supplier. At the same time\, the German administration is under time pressure due to the implementation requirement of the (Online Access Act) OZG by the end of 2022. Without authenticated citizen accounts that individuals can use to log in to the electronic administration\, fully digitized communication between the administration and citizens or companies is impossible. The rollout of OZG services is therefore directly linked to the rollout of digital identities. In a European electronic government network (Single Digital Gateway)\, interoperable solutions not only make economic sense\, but are also a legal requirement. \nIt is therefore hardly surprising that the German chancellor has made digital identity a top priority. With the support of 20 partners from science and industry\, she wants to create facts with the Optimos 2.0 project by September 2021. The stated goal is to develop eID services that enable citizens to securely release personal data to service providers – directly from one’ smartphone. At the same time\, the Ministry of Economy is promoting real-life “showcase regions” with the “Secure Identities” program – with the aim of making digital identities accessible to a relevant number of users and thus creating a state-driven alternative program to Facebook-login or other data-intensive industry solutions. \nThe federal policy strategies thus follow a common line with Brussels: At the Union level\, the eIDAS Regulation pursues the goal of generating an interoperable Europe-wide identity ecosystem from existing isolated solutions. At the core of the EU Commission’s current reform efforts is the intention to promote digital identities through suitable interface standards. \nLast but not least\, the eID card\, which has been introduced in Germany since January 1\, 2021\, represents an important impetus for cross-border legal transactions: It allows citizens from other EU countries to apply for a “digital ID card” in Germany in order to be able to identify themselves digitally in the same way as with a German electronic ID card. This also makes it clear: Anyone who does not think about interoperability and citizen-centricity from the very beginning will either promote eID solutions that are of limited help to users due to their lack of broad impact\, or solutions that users trust only to a limited extent due to questionable data usage. \nBut to what extent have legislative efforts so far been successful in turning the existing isolated solutions of individual industries into a broadly functioning ecosystem? What hurdles must an eID solution overcome in order to be as connectable as it is secure from the citizen’s perspective? How can the digital sovereignty of citizens be ensured? And how can the “German Angst” of a lack of data protection and security be reconciled with technical progress? \nSpeakers\nElizabeth M.

SUMMARY:NGI SALON @ EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
DESCRIPTION:30 years of the Web: where do we go next?\nBuilding radical new alternatives for a more democratic future internet\nJoin us on Friday 22 March at the European Parliament for an exciting afternoon of talks and bold ideas about the future of the internet: how can we build an internet and connected world that is more democratic\, inclusive and resilient for all? \nDuring this event\, we will also launch a compilation of radical new visions for the internet\, by both leading and emerging thinkers and artists from Europe and beyond. This event is organised by the NGI Move\, EU Engineroom and recently launched NGI Forward projects. \nThis March marks the thirtieth anniversary of the World Wide Web. As we reflect on its history\, we must also take the opportunity to think about what we want the future of the web\, the internet and everyday life in a connected world\, to look like. The internet has undoubtedly brought us a lot of good over the past decades\, but its astronomical impact has not always led to the betterment of society. Power over our data is concentrated in the hands of very few players and new technologies are creating cracks in our democracies. We find ourselves stuck between two dominant models: the monopolistic corporate-led internet of Silicon Valley and large-scale government surveillance systems of Beijing. \nCan we now come up with a third narrative\, where citizens and communities are in control and can determine their own future?\nThe Next Generation Internet initiative\, the European Commission’s ambitious new flagship programme which seeks to build an internet that’s more inclusive\, resilient and democratic by the end of the decade\, offers and opportunity for Europe to take charge of shaping such a new narrative. This event is part of a longer series part of the NGI in which we think about the kind of future internet we would like to see. \nRegistration will open at 12:45 with the event starting promptly at 13:30. The session will finish at 16:30. \nConfirmed speakers:\n\nRob van Kranenburg\, Founder\, IoT Council\nKatja Bego\, Senior researcher\, Nesta\, Coordinator NGI Forward and EU Engineroom\nMarietje Schaake\, Member of European Parliament (D66/ALDE) Foreign Affairs Trade and Tech\nOlivier Bringer\, Head of Unit\, DG Connect\, European Commission\nGer Baron\, Chief Technology Officer\, City of Amsterdam\nJulie Dawson\, Head of Regulation and Policy\, Yoti\nManon den Dunnen\, Trust Frameworks\, Police Innovation and Sensemakers\nCassie Robinson\, Head of Digital Grant Making\, Big Lottery Fund\nSophie Bloemen\, Co-Director\, Commons Network\nDelfina van Ditmar Fantini\, Tutor/Research Design Products Programme\, Royal College of Arts\, London\nFabrizio Sestini\, Senior Expert for Digital Social Innovation\, European Commission DG Connect\nPeter Baeck\, Head\, Centre for Collective Intelligence Design\, Nesta\nMarta Arniani\, Founder\, Futurible\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\n\n12:45PM – 13:30PM\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\n1:30PM – 1:45PM\n\nWelcome\n\nRob van Kranenburg\, Founder\, IoT Council\nKatja Bego\, Senior researcher\, Nesta\, Coordinator NGI Forward and EU Engineroom\n\n\n\n\n1:45PM – 2:15PM\n\nIntroductory talk\n\nMarietje Schaake\, Member of European Parliament (D66/ALDE) Foreign Affairs Trade and Tech\n\n\n\n\n2:15PM – 2:30PM\n\nThe Next Generation Internet Initiative: what is it and why is it vital for Europe\n\nOlivier Bringer\, Head of Unit\, DG Connect\, European Commission\n\n\n\n\n2:30PM – 3:15PM\n\nBuilding blocks for a better future internet\n\nKatja Bego\, Senior Researcher\, Nesta | Session chair\nGer Baron\, Chief Technology Officer\, City of Amsterdam\nJulie Dawson\, Head of Regulation and Policy\, Yoti\nManon den Dunnen\, Trust Frameworks from Police Innovation and Sensemakers\nCassie Robinson\, Head of Digital Grant Making at the Big Lottery Fund\n\n\n\n\n\n3:15PM – 3:30PM | Coffee break\n\n\n\n3:30PM – 3:40PM\n\nA Vision for a Shared Digital Europe\n\n\n\n3:40PM – 4:20PM\n\nHarnessing collective intelligence: how do we involve people in shaping the future internet\n\nMarta Arniani\, Founder\, Futurible | Session chair\nCassie Robinson\, Head of Digital Grant Making at the Big Lottery Fund\nSophie Bloemen\, Co-Director and Director\, Commons Network\nDelfina van Ditmar Fantini\, Tutor/Research Design Products Programme\, Royal College of Arts\, London\nPeter Baeck\, Head of the Centre for Collective Intelligence Design\nFabrizio Sestini\, Senior Expert for Digital Social Innovation\, European Commission DG CONNECT\n\n\n\n\n4:20PM – 4:30PM\n\nEvent close and book launch\n\nMarta Arniani\, Founder of Futuribile\nRob van Kranenburg\, Founder at IoT Council

SUMMARY:NGI SALON @ WEB SUMMIT LISBON
DESCRIPTION:You have ten years to save the Planet – A Millennials’ narrative for the Next Generation Internet\nNGI Salon @ Web Summit Lisbon\nSocial Innovation Village delegation night\nDate: 7th November 2018 | 18:00-19:30\nLocation: Casa do Impacto \nModerators:\nMarta Arniani (futuribile / curating futures)\nJennifer Veldman (DataWatchers) \n  \nMillennials form the generation that was born in an analog world and are the early adopters of the digital one. They have experienced at a young age the innocent and empowering era of the internet\, an age of knowledge distribution and new opportunities arising with the mass diffusion of the web. An era of supposedly endless natural resources. The Internet and the digital revolution bring immensely powerful tools\, yet their effects on society and the Planet – were mostly unanticipated: for most of their lifespan they have just been considered useful tools and economy drivers. In truth\, tools are still in early adoption years. The same as when the car went through years of modulation (creating new traffic rules\, installing airbags\, seat belts and so on). Ideas of how we use and should use online digital devices are only starting to be framed. If we want a digital future that reflects the needs of society and environment\, we need to think\, discuss and act NOW. We argue that society and environment are strongly intertwined\, as values of the first impact directly on the Planet. Climate is the stone guest at the innovation table. As much as the NGI advocates for a human centric vision against technology-centric efficiency paradigms\, we think this vision should be placed in the natural ecosystem\, the place we live in. \nMotivations\, hopes\, achievements: digging into solutions for major societal challenges\, this salon aims at rebuilding a Millennials narrative that focuses not on how the internet has gone wrong\, but how we believe it could be improved and contribute to a better society\, thriving in a rich natural ecosystem. It will engage with Millennials from the Web Summit Social Innovation Village and local social innovation networks who bear with them that positive and emancipatory outlook on technology that Millennials should be remembered for. \nInfo and inquires: Marta Arniani: marta (at) futuribile.org \n

SUMMARY:NGI SALON @ KINNERNET
DESCRIPTION:A device of one’s own\nThis NGI Salon\, titled “A device of one’s own” aims firstly at raising the awareness of participants around their digital personas and their own relationship with their mobile devices. Secondly\, the reflection will serve as basis to elaborate alternative meaningful scenarios for the human-mobile device interaction. \nFOCUS OF THIS EVENT\nThe Salon “A device of one’s own” will take place at KINNERNET\, a wild-out-of the box\, irreverent\, disruptor event looking for innovation\, creativity and new ideas. On this third edition in Catalonia\, the event will feature over 120 innovators and creators from all disciplines (science\, technology\, business\, media\, education\, art and social work) and from all around the world (US\, Europe\, Israel and Asia). The mission is “to meet\, share and invent desirable future together”. \nThis annual networking event for innovative professionals provides the opportunity to gather informally and discuss topics of mutual interest. Kinnernet mixes in depth conversations\, debates\, workshops\, but also creative and artistics moments. All participants are equal and contributors and set up the programme. \n  \n \n  \nREVIEW NGI Salon: A device of one’s own\nOn June 2 KINNERNET Catalonia – a wild-out-of the box\, irreverent\, disruptor event looking for innovation\, creativity and new ideas – hosted a Salon titled “A device of one’s own”. The event\, part of NGI Move series of Salons\, was conceived and moderated by Marta Arniani (futuribile/curating futures). Get in touch at marta(at)futuribile.org if you would like to host a similar event. \nWe have an extremely intimate relationship with our own digital devices. Protected by their claimed neutral nature of objects\, they know things about us that we do not dare or bother sharing with our human peers. Meanwhile\, every single act we do through digital devices contributes to draw a partial picture of our identity. Enough to assign us a character designed through an accumulation of data\, a fictional persona composed by a sum of decontextualized elements. Through our unbalanced dialogue with devices\, we contribute to the building of extremely addictive\, clustered\, partial and numbing technology-mediated experiences. But what if we could shape the way our data and digital behaviour are employed so that they can generate meaningfulness for us? \nBy means of guided self-reflection and ideation exercises\, the Salon aimed at raising the awareness of participants around their digital personas and the meaningfulness of their digitalised behaviours. Through simple facilitation exercises attendees have been called to express quantifiable and qualitative aspects of their identity. When asked which of these elements was more important in defining their identity\, there was consensus around the irrelevance of goods possession and need\, which is instead a key component in digital targeting and profiling. \nThe scope of this first part of the salon was to led participants to realise to which extent quantification gives a distorted and limited vision of who we and our behaviours and beliefs. Technology works mainly through information accumulation. If data are the new oil\, then data providers (people) should be able to have a say about how their private data are invested. Participants have been asked to think of how to renegotiate their relationship with their mobile device\, and to come up with ways to make their experience less tailored and more meaningful for them. \n  \n \n  \nMost of the proposals focused on health and time/focus management. A participant working in health suggested that through biometrics mobile devices could understand when somebody is depressed and help her navigate out of that zone through suggestions and assistance. Whereas today devices work as a distraction\, they should support people’s focus: providing regular summaries of how long/how many times the person has been fully focused and on what; switching off automatically after a certain amount of hours of usage; assisting in scheduling the best moments to unplug or to focus on a specific task and providing supportive features (e.g. selecting music); analysing when the person is close to breakout and supporting the streamlining of her agenda. As it is structured today\, our relationship with mobile devices is utterly overwhelming and automation is mostly focused on aspects with little added value for people. \nIt was proposed to have more agency in deciding to which projects/initiatives contribute to with one’s personal data. With the conscience that the current data-extractive business models are not going to disappear from one day to another\, an evolution is sought: while the data automatically collected keep providing value to the corporations beyond the device and the apps\, can’t these data also be invested by the person in data-based endeavours that she considers valuable? For instance\, local open data projects\, health services and research\, circular economy\, information sources that the reader enjoys over others. Moreover\, a sort of programmed obsolescence for data profiling was suggested: if a profile must be retained\, then it should be temporary and contingent to the person actual status. Identities are more fluid then the way technology depicts them. \nFinally\, another strong point raised concerned the reinforcement of human feedback and interaction. Many expressed the need to protect their domestic environment and make it a space for meaningful human interactions. Due to the expressive limitation of text – which in the experience of participants mostly replaced verbal exchanges\, more interactive/multidimensional means to increase the quality of conversation are sought. Interestingly\, technology intensifies negative/aggressive/hate debates but fails at amplifying good and meaningful conversations. Measuring/sensing the emotional response and feedback of the communication receiver\, or switching off when the person is having a face to face conversation so that it could focus on who is in front\, were among the possible features suggested. Automatised tours outside one’s filter bubble were proposed. \n“Take care of me like I take care of you: charge me\, update me\, protect me” – Main takeaways\n• It was strongly stated that devices must help people live better (accordingly to their own standards) and increase their IQ\, surely not replace people’s agency by automatically acting on behalf of their (artificially presumed) will. \n• Citizens should be able to intentionally invest their personal data in initiatives they care about. The return on investment is a positive impact on the world or on their everyday life. \n• There should be a programmed obsolescence for personal data. \n• The reinforcement of positive (enriching\, proactive and respectful) human feedback and interaction is very needed. \n

SUMMARY:NGI Salon – Ljubljana
DESCRIPTION:NGI Salon – Ljubljana\n“Future NGI ecosystems and role of SME in NGI”\n  \nMODERATORS:\n\nNGI MOVE Team: Rob van Kranenburg\, Manfred Aigner\, Bjoern Muennich\, NGI4EU Ambassadors\nTomaž Vidonja\, Director of IoT competence centre\n\nPANEL:\n\nTomas Tišler\, Head of Unite\, Ministry for Public Administration\nNenad Šutanovac\, CCIS – Association for IT and Telecommunications of Slovenia\, Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia\nAndrej Kos\, Professor\, Head of Laboratory for Telecommunications\, Faculty of Electrical Engineering\nŽeljko Gudžulić\, City of Ljubljana\, Responsible for establishing Smart City\n\n  \nAGENDA:\n13:45 – 14:00 Registration\n14:00 – 15:30 Roundtable: »Future NGI ecosystems and role of SME in NGI«\n15:30 – 17:00 Networking \n\nFOCUS OF THIS EVENT\nNGI is a coherent set of centralized protocols that need to be operationalized in a fully permission-less way. \nCan we envisage an efficient 500 million zone\, Europe\, that operates much like Estonia does now? The Estonian e-card is embedded in a personal wallet (a device that can be a smartphone\, a glass\, a wearable…). That wallet talks to EU Clouds\, platforms and set of (intranet) protocols only. In that way data-lakes necessary to port AI and creating added services and value remain under collective control of those citizens that pay taxes to ensure their immediate wellbeing and economic stability. The first operational strategy that delivered the ‘euro’ took around 35 years from inception to concrete implementation. It was brokered by a generation of politicians that could not see individuals as systemic actors\, quite logical as the Internet needed the www (90s) to become a game-changer. As the euro becomes part of a financial toolset that organizes in e-wallets it is quite common sense that these e-wallets become tightly linked with identification schemes and replace the current passport with a set of federated traceable and accountable identities.\nWe posit a living ecosystem of the best possible balance of extreme centralization (on infrastructure\, protocols and identity management) and extreme decentralization (on data\, applications\, services) focussing on resilience and self-healing properties as radically new concrete functionalities of a digital ambient infrastructure\, and legible interfaces to those properties that matter for citizens – stability\, solidarity\, reciprocity\, fairness –  in an inclusive sustainable ecosystem. \nIf we want to make this a reality we need a different mind-set in politicians\, business leaders but also in privacy activists and hackers. We are\, after all\, in the same boat. We want a better balanced world\, fight Climate change\, give equal chances to all children growing up and decency in business practices. \nThat is the subject of our discussion on April 6. \n

SUMMARY:NGI SALON @ Transmediale Berlin
DESCRIPTION:NGI SALON @ Transmediale Berlin\n2nd of Feb. 2018 | 16:00\nCafé Stage HKW – Haus der Kulturen der Welt\nJohn-Foster-Dulles-Allee 10 | D-10557 Berlin\nThis NGI Salon contributes to the definition of the “human” aspects of the Next Generation Internet \nAgenda and registration page \n \nMODERATOR:\nMarta Arniani\, Curator\, Futuribile \nSPEAKERS: \n\nBeatrice Fazi\, Research Fellow in Digital Humanities & Computational Culture\, University of Sussex\nUta Meier-Hahn\, Researcher in Internet Policy and Governance\, Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG)\nBen Vickers\, Curator of Digital at the Serpentine Galleries\, Co-Director of LIMAZULU Project Space\, Near Now Fellow\, facilitator for the open-source development of unMonastery\nJeanne Charlotte Vogt\, Curator\, cultural producer and co-director of NODE Forum for Digital Arts\n\n  \nFOCUS OF THIS NGI SALON\nThe space in-between: the value of interpretation and interaction for the Next Generation Internet \nWe inhabit the space between data-generating devices\, places and habits. Nonetheless\, our individual experiences and public conversations are extremely objectified\, flattened on information nodes and their interfaces. Even the decentralised revolution carried out by distributed ledgers technology mostly perceives relations as transactions. We delegated to technology companies the definition of what a meaningful interaction is. \nNon-biased data gathering\, empowering interactions\, inclusive narratives: this Salon wants to promote proposals for strengthening the space in-between\, the space made of intangible relationships and embodied experiences that constitute our social fabric. \nTRANSMEDIALE BERLIN – FACE VALUE  \nThings are what they are—but could they be different? transmediale 2018 face value aims to take stock of current affairs\, to recognize things for what they are before saying how they could be different. It is an attempt to probe the values\, as well as the processes of value creation\, that have contributed to our present moment of extreme political\, economic\, and cultural divides. The festival seeks possible new ways of resisting and deconstructing the alarming development of a digital populism\, the radicalization of net culture and the new culture wars. \n“Taking things at face value” seems to have become the norm of public discourse amidst today’s reactionary and algorithmically guided communication practices. transmediale wants to challenge this impulse to judge things by their immediate appearance and instead look at less visible issues\, which run deep across all sectors of society. These include power relations rarely discussed at digital culture events\, such as contemporary imbalances of class\, gender\, and race\, which are also being built into technological systems. In fact\, rather than providing an emancipatory alternative\, (post-)digital culture today seems to support hate-mongering\, racist and neo-colonial powers. This\, however\, should not be a reason to lament a mythical past\, back in which\, supposedly\, the internet was free and digital creativity unbound. Rather\, there is a need to embrace both unsettling and uniting cultural practices\, as well as daring speculative thinking\, to promote auto-criticality and an awareness that nothing is ever as simple as its surface suggests. Similarly\, cultural events like transmediale are made up of different political imaginaries and communities that are simultaneously resistant and complicit to the developments one so urgently needs to oppose.

SUMMARY:An NGI Move Salon: Informal Seminar on blockchain and public agency
DESCRIPTION:An NGI Brussels: on blockchain and public agency\nOn blockchain and public agency.\nDecentralized data governance: leveraging on distributed open hardware and software ecosystems based on blockchains\, distributed ledger technology\, open data and peer-to-peer technologies. Attention should be paid to ethical\, legal and privacy issues\, as well as to the concepts of autonomy\, data sovereignty and ownership\, values and regulations. \nIn Smart Decentralisation: Moving From The Cloud To The Fog\, Dominik Schiener\, Co-Founder — IOTA Foundation\, asks what the evolutionary transition towards smart decentralization means for both the internet of things and our society?: “With the introduction of blockchain\, the internet of things will actually move away from the cloud and towards the fog – something that in turn could give rise to a fully autonomous machine economy\, one that no longer needs the intervention of human managers.” DECODE provides tools that put individuals in control of whether they keep their personal data private or share it for the public good. IDEO\, Microsoft\, IOTA support DIF in building an open source decentralized identity ecosystem for people\, organizations\, apps\, and devices. The goal of the World Identity Network (WIN) is to catalyze progress towards universal ID and robust\, secure\, digital identification systems using 21st century technology solutions\, such as the distributed ledger technology (DLT). uPort is an open source software project to establish a global\, unified\, sovereign identity system for people\, businesses\, organizations\, devices\, and bots. Accenture and Microsoft are creating a blockchain solution to support ID2020\, a global public-private partnership dedicated to solving the challenges of identity faced by more than 1.1 billion people around the world.  What will this competition on the passport lead to? What kind of societies are being built by whom? \nVenue\nDIGITALEUROPE\n14 Rue de la Science\,\n1040 Brussels\, Belgium \nModerators\nGérald Santucci (writer) and Cecilia Bonefeld-Dahl\, DG DIGITALEUROPE \nRapporteur\nRob van Kranenburg (Resonance Design) \nAgenda\n\nNGI Welcome by Nicole Müssigmann\, Policy Officer EC\nOpening remarks by Eva Kaili\, Member of the European Parliament #Chair Scientific Foresight Unit & Chair D-NATO PA EU\nPanel with:\n\nAndrea Servida\, Head of Unit “eGovernment and Trust” DG CONNECT\nDenis ‘Jaromil’ Roio\, CTO and co-founder of Dyne.org Foundation\, lead design of DECODE\nDominik Schiener\, Working on the intersection of IoT and Blockchain.

SUMMARY:NGI Move Salon @ SMART CITY PLAZA
DESCRIPTION:NGI Move Salon: TOWARDS A FUTURE INTERNET THAT BETTER RESPONDS TO THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE CITIZENS!\nAGORA STAGE @ SMART CITY PLAZA\nNovember the 15th from 10:00am to 10:45am\nMODERATOR\nMarta Arniani (Founder of Futuribile) \nSPEAKERS\n\nMarc Pous (thethings_io)\nOleguer Sagarra (decode Tech coordinator)\nMara Balestrini (IDEAS FOR CHANGE)\n\n\nMethodology: awareness and education\, narrative drivers for stories\, examples to create immediate action\nThere is an even bigger divide between explaining the current drivers of the Digital Transition to a lay audience than the original Digital Divide (having access and primary skills). Paradoxically the effects of the hybrid nature of the digital are visible and present in everyday life and interactions: fake news\, depression among youngsters\, addiction to social media\, sexting\, and on a more economic scale\, fear of job loss because of robotic automatization\, lack of agency on a political level (fining innovative companies or legally trying to regulate fat protection\, (GDPR). The dominant narrative is fear\, even from the policy perspectives that should try to create enthusiasm for opportunities and possibilities. We lack a possibilist framework. Without it finding good examples to explain the opportunities of a hybrid reality for everyday life and Europe as a 500 million zone is very difficult. NGI.eu should be part of the solution to this. \n  \nPlurality\n\nWhich stakeholders are involved concretely in the concept and implementation of data sovereignty – as data is new oil – what is the process of of granting data ownership?\nWhy are citizens unable to see themselves and their networked identities as central to organizing building-blocks around that level of agency\, but keep outsourcing this level of agency to another state building scenario? Why\, in other words do people take to the streets for abstract notions such as ‘Spain’\, ‘Catalonia’\, ‘England/Great-Britain’\, and why if they refuse to be ruled from ‘outside’ can they not see that they themselves always posit this notion of ‘outside’\, not from a position of the individual – themselves – but from a previously fixed set of rules that they have come to view as such?\n\nWe acknowledge the fact that before we can offer tools of decentralized data management from the point of view of the ‘citizen’\, that citizen first has to emancipate his or herself into the level of primary agency\, or rather citizens have to own the framing of their subjectivity. This is not the case now as we can see clearly played out in the streets of Barcelona\, England and other EU nations. \nHannah Arendt recognizes that plurality can best be experienced at city-level. “The larger the population in any given body politic\, the more likely it will be the social rather than the political that constitutes the public realm” (Arendt 1959\, p. 39). With big numbers\, plurality degenerates into mere and unendorsed interdependence\, while natality and its inherent openness and unpredictability are perceived only under the categories of uncertainty and risk. \nCan the notion of plurality help us understand the current situation in which citizens instead of decentralizing to the level of their subjectivity\, engage with a new level of state agency? \nTerritorial identities seem to be the last binary that remains relatively acceptable as a social agent. Whereas discrimination in terms of gender\, race\, age is firmly addressed and sanctioned\, it remains acceptable still to identify as a person from a particular territory\, a binary as one either is in or out. \n  \nBlockchain\nIn Smart Decentralisation: Moving From The Cloud To The Fog\, Dominik Schiener\, Co-Founder — IOTA Foundation\, asks what the evolutionary transition towards smart decentralisation means for both the internet of things and our society: “With the introduction of blockchain\, the internet of things will actually move away from the cloud and towards the fog – something that in turn could give rise to a fully autonomous machine economy\, one that no longer needs the intervention of human managers.” \nCan individuals build and maintain social networks through which they “negotiate” their identities and subjectivity that brings them together in a different way that bridges the current gap between authorities and end-users? \n  \ndecodeproject.eu\nDECODE is about giving people ownership of the personal data so they can secure their privacy and reclaim their digital sovereignty. It will create new technologies which put them in control of how their data is used so they can decide who has access\, and for what purposes. In doing so\, DECODE will create a new digital economy ecosystem\, enabling in particular the rise of platform cooperatives and data commons. The new technology will be piloted in Amsterdam and Barcelona. A key principle of this will be the pursuit of social value over purely economic return. It will also enable governments to be more responsive to citizen needs. \nDECODE is a response to five key problems created by the use of personal data in the internet economy: \n\nThe way that many internet-oriented companies use personal data erodes people’s privacy and creates threats to their online security\nThe abundance of personal data and lack of control over how it is used and shared exposes people to discriminatory and exclusionary practices\nThe integral role personal data plays in the internet economy means there are barriers to entry for new firms\nPersonal data contributes to network effects which make it possible for companies to become excessively dominant. This is especially problematic in the sharing and collaborative economy.\nPersonal data\, if anonymised\, could have considerable benefits for society\, helping us to live more sustainably and deliver better public services. Without individuals having control over personal data\, these benefits can’t be realised.\n\nDECODE will create a number of practical tools as part of a technical infrastructure. This will include personal data storage options\, the ability to specify in granular detail how data is shared and with whom\, privacy-preserving tools which enable authenticated digital participation without revealing private information\, and a mechanism for anonymised data to be pooled so that it can be used by governments\, researchers\, innovators and not-for-profit organisations. \n\nNGI – Towards a future Internet that better responds to the expectations of the citizens!\nNGI Move\, @NGI4EU brings you Salons and Meetings all over Europe to promote\, exchange and debate the Next Generation Internet movement. \nWhat should the Next Generation Internet look like? | Join the NGI-Movement @NGI4EU
