The document discusses the rise of an "Age of Networked Intelligence" driven by technological and social changes. Key aspects of these changes include the rise of web 2.0 technologies, social networks, and mass collaboration, which are shifting power away from traditional hierarchies to more open participation and knowledge sharing on networks. This represents a major paradigm shift that challenges existing institutions and leadership models.

Despite the assumption that large cities produce more innovation than smaller cities, evidence shows that innovation-friendly policies and the use of digital technology to open new pathways to innovation are more important than the city size.

Activos inteligentes: Liberando el potencial de la economía circularItziar Ruiz Mendiola
En 2020 habrá entre 25 y 50 billones (con b) de aparatos electrónicos conectados. Hoy en día existen 10 billones. Este Internet de las Cosas (Internet of the Things, IoT) ofrece oportunidades por valor de un trillón de dólares, y provocará mejoras en la producción y los procesos de distribución, pero, lo que es más importante, provocará un cambio significativo en el modo en el que se utilizan los productos. La transformación digital tiene el poder para redefinir las bases mismas de la economía basada en el consumo de materiales. Frente a este modelo, surge otro donde la conectividad es una nueva infraestructura que puede dar lugar a la Era de la Economía Circular.
Así se refleja este informe elaborado por Ellen MacArthur Foundation en colaboración con World Economic Forum y que ha contado con la participación de más de 30 organizaciones, entre las que figura Innobasque. El trabajo pone el acento en cómo acelerar innovaciones impulsadas por el mercado y ayudar a escalar la economía circular. Se focaliza en explicar cuáles son los facilitadores de esta economía circular, como las tecnologías digitales, que son demasiado grandes o complejas para ser superadas por un solo negocio, ciudad, gobierno o individuo.

Decentralized governance for SSI and Blockchains with Lawrence Lundy-BryanSSIMeetup
https://ssimeetup.org/no-such-thing-decentralized-governance-ssi-blockchains-lawrence-lundy-bryan-webinar-26/
Lawrence Lundy is a partner and head of research at Outlier Ventures, a venture platform that supports the development and growth of emerging technologies. To do this we advise and invest in talented teams, and support businesses which create value for an open data economy.
Today, most crypto projects are governed by the open-source development tradition based predominantly on Linux and the foundation model instigated by Ethereum. These structures are not robust enough if we are to build inclusive equitable global public utilities. On-chain governance solutions are a step in the right direction but are liable to concentration of power in a technocratic elite with the time, knowledge and reputation to vote and decide on policy changes. The separation of powers (trias politica) model which forms the basis of almost all liberal democracies provides a more appropriate framework than traditional corporate governance or full on-chain governance.
This talk will explore how crypto networks could experiment with an executive (implement law), a legislative (create law) and a judiciary (interpret law). Three network branches would formalise powers and act as necessary checks and balances on power consolidation. Regular voting and term limits would prevent power grabs by stakeholders, and formalised laws would build trust in the system by users that don’t want to participate in governance directly. A separation of powers will form the foundation of a social contract between the network and users and bring legitimacy to digital public utilities going from Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) to any other decentralized or Blockchain based technology.

Participants at CKX were among the first to hear the breakthrough concept from best selling author, strategist and disruptive thinker Don Tapscott (@dtapscott) on how institutions, companies and governments can unlock data, knowledge and ideas to create truly vibrant and open communities and cities in his keynote address.
Tapscott is ranked by Thinkers50 as the one of the most important management thinkers in the world. In his keynote address at CKX, presented by Manulife Asset Management, Tapscott shared a radically new concept of the city. What if institutions opened up and shared data, knowledge and ideas — everything from local government, public transportation, traffic, hospitals, universities, schools, shopping malls, to the power grid, research laboratories and community organizations. “We can create the city as a platform” says Tapscott, “supercharging entrepreneurship, jobs, prosperity, science, learning, sustainability, public safety and good government.”
The author or co-author of 15 books including Radical Openness, Macrowikinomics and Grown Up Digital, Tapscott explained how The Open City is not just a vision, it’s also within our reach.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

At Dresdner Kleinwort (DKW), a Europe-based investment bank, employees started using wikis in the IT department to document new software in an informal pilot. Soon afterward, wikis began to migrate out of the IT department and into the broader workplace environment, where teams picked up on them as a way to get collaborative projects up and running quickly. When DKW CIO J.P. Rangaswami learned of the process, he was intrigued by the technology's versatility. The company went ahead with more pilots, and after just six months of usage, the traffic on the internal wiki exceeded that on the entire DKW intranet. Today the wiki has more than 2,000 pages and is used by more than a quarter of the company's workforce. Lead users have decreased e-mail volume by 75% and cut the company's meeting times in half. Rangaswami says, "We recognized early on that these tools would allow us to collaborate more effectively than existing technologies."
