- 2. Technically - control is not very difficult 1. Connect every active actor to systems of Digital Identity. 2. Make actors (and their things) accountable for their actions. 3. Use the accountability systems to produce reputation systems. 4. Enhance and maintain accountability systems. A. ccountability is a difficult thing to get right. B. lock chains illustrate a universal human desire to be inclusive; yet the devil is in the detail. C. onnecting people to ‘digital identity’ can be done in many ways D. ignity enhancing is the goal. E. conomics is implicitly involved. F. reedom of thought is a motive that is difficult to economically rationalize for everyone. art is implicit (it’s also important E (art) th)
- 3. The Consequence; What we Care about, when Fixing Fake News Every Human has Inalienable Rights; Including Freedom of Expression. Universal Human Rights were written down for the first time; post World War II. We are committed to making our world a fairer place. In our age where; Artificial Intelligence, • Powers the Global Economy. • “Thinks” about social behaviors. • Has no right to Deceive or to provide False and Misleading Content If we really want to ‘Fix Fake News’; we need to care about the consequential responsibilities for how we do so.
- 4. ‘Solutions’ must be built for an ‘Open Web’; • Identity of the actors involved. • A requirement to rationalize control over ‘Source of Truth’; ensure no single authority is allowed to be the “arbiter of truth”. • We are required to authorize the ‘provider of truth’ (and/or disallow if unauthorized) • We are required to respond to ‘dynamic data sources’ without version control ie: domain.tld/temporalrepresentation#fact The following slides will provide some of my investigative insights into how to forge a socially responsible, technical solution and some of the considerations made through the course of doing so; followed by a proposed engagement structure for commencing works in a methodology that seeks to attend to both the regional and global encumbrances that are constituents of the design-theory of how to go about solving the underlying problem; how do we build a Web of Trust. Not all issues can be dealt with at the W3 (Web) Level. Not all issues are technical in nature. The place to fix these problems is by way of establishing an activity stream that is both locally and internationally supported, is via ISOC.
- 6. Knowledge Fragments RDF Facts Available as URIs Document Accumulation of Linked- Facts A News Article contains an array of constituents that are generally brought together through narrative. The first constituent of an article is narrative. The second constituent of a news article are facts. The third constituent is interpretation. CONSTITUENT CHECK METHOD VALIDATION Domain TLD Signatures Author(s) URI Reputation Narrative NLP Sentiment Analysis Facts Structured Data is equal to Interpretation of Facts Various Scripts
- 8. Contributors are identified by a WebID A WebID is a URI path for describing an Author. A WebID can also help to describe relations to other Actors. WebIDs are provided and can be enumerated; - Account on a Website - Cookie in a Browser - Link Analysis - App information Some WebIDs are public, some are private. Most provide read permissions, very few provide write permissions
- 10. Edification: Who is entitled? Edification: the moral or intellectual instruction or improvement of someone. • Do they need to have particular Friends? • Do they need to have a lot of Money? • Do they need to live in a particular Country? • Do they need to have Shareholder Approval? • Do they need to speak a particular Language? • Do they need to have a job with a particular Firm? • Do they need to be recognized by particular Groups? Should people be entitled to benefit from the broader usefulness of their discoveries? Should people expect to be attributed to their actions?
- 13. It is not simply… ‘fake news’ The underlying problem is false claims. False claims are used to prosecute and cause harm to others in a myriad of ways. Examples include divorce involving children, the practice and process of making laws and the means in which people undertake disputes of many forms, in many ways world wide. The design challenges of ’fixing fake news’ is not specific to news. Technically, the methods have significant applications. If we fix it, there will be repercussions.
- 19. Which is we need an: ISOC SIG Chapter Internet Society (ISOC) IETF IAB IRTF SIG Chapters Special Interest Group Social Implications Technical Requirements Legal Requirements Policy Recommendations Regional Chapters Governments Universities Corporations Organizations Individuals IESG IRSG W3C Standards Browsers HTTP Servers HTTP Documents Fake News is a symptom of a bigger problem that needs to be resolved. We need to solve the problem of ensuring Humans are universally provided the best possible means to support their ‘digital identity’. Digital Identity is not simply about a card or identifier; it is the means in which recordings are made about a person, that is in-turn relied upon by others. If humans have the right to ‘self determination’, then they must be provided the fundamental right to self- ownership as the foundation to any other right. If the life of people is inextricably linked to the infosphere (ie: internet) then rights to self must be supported by international governance of Internet. https://sig.animarum.online/
- 20. Some Issues (there’s a lot of them). • The World Wide Web (“URIs”) • How do we ensure Domains are kept for long periods of time. • How do we improve the means in which Version Control works with URIs • Web of Data: • If we’re going to ‘decentralise’ data-ownership, we need to figure out how that’s going to be done in a sensible way. • In building systems of provenance: How do we deal with broken links? • Web of Trust • If we’re going to provide the means for everyone to economically participate, we need to figure out how to make an international knowledge banking industry work • If we’re going to create identity systems, we need to ensure they reflect the dynamic, temporal and ‘observer’ characteristics of self and our means of relationships • If we’re going to create a reputation economy, we want to ensure good people are not exploited by bad actors; and • that means-to resolve problems; experienced by citizens, is available to everyone.
- 21. Sig Animarum | Online Consensus exists that we need a ‘web of trust’ for the protection of life on our planet. We accept that our knowledge economy is now capable of using artificial intelligence to create ‘personalized experiences’ to suit (socio-)economic needs. We agree that we need to redefine the use of the term ‘provider’, (and perhaps, this is the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced.) Internet Society is the only known, appropriately configured, International Internet Governance – organisation capable of facilitating the multidisciplinary cooperation needed to define the ‘human centric’ solutions to these problems. If we’re ‘signing souls online’, we really need to take the matter very seriously. Else we’ll (subjectively) be helping the ‘bad guys’ in unintentional ways. • For the most part; it is not a technology problem. • We can solve these problems if we choose to be inclusive • To be inclusive, we need to define new language.
