Artificial intelligence governance in the Obama & Trump yearsAdam Thierer
This presentation briefly outlines how AI governance was being formulated in the United States from 2009 to 2020 during the presidencies of Barack Obama and Donald Trump. Although these two administrations differed on most policy matters, they shared a common approach to AI governance. Generally speaking, both administrations adopted a “light-touch” regulatory and industrial policy stance toward AI. Although both administrations highlighted potential areas of policy concern—safety and security issues, in particular—promoting the growth of AI sectors and technologies was prioritized over preemptively restricting them. “Soft law” mechanisms were typically tapped before hard law solutions. In this sense, AI policy in the Obama-Trump AI governance approach has been an extension of the governance vision previous administrations applied to the internet and digital commerce.

The Internet itself is a globally distributed computer network comprised of many voluntarily interconnected autonomous networks. Similarly, its governance is conducted by a decentralized and international multistakeholder network of interconnected autonomous groups drawing from civil society, the private sector, governments, the academic and research communities, and national and international organizations. They work cooperatively from their respective roles to create shared policies and standards that maintain the Internet’s global interoperability for the public good.

E-Government as a New Studying Subject. Towards a Theoretical Integration Proposal. By Juan Ignacio Criado Grande, Mentxu Ramilo Araujo and Miquel Salvador i Serna
The digital divide has serious consequences in the information soc.docxmehek4
The digital divide has serious consequences in the information society. If ‘information is power’ why is creativity one of the key focuses concentration areas in the UKs Digital Economy Act?
Main points to focus on when reading for this topic:
The digital divide – all reading in regards to this point
Information society – Castells work in regards to this point
UK Digital Economy Act – Read the act and find out more about concentration areas, spefically, Creativity.
TOPIC POINT – Internet access plays a vital part in a modern society
Networks (Castells)
His hypothesis: the historical superiority of vertical/hierarchical organizations. That non centred networked form of social organization had material limits to overcome. Fundamentally linked to available technologies.
Networks have strength in their flexibility, adaptability and capacity to self configure
Global Networks
· Digital networks are global, as they have the capacity to reconfigure themselves, as directed by their programmers, transcending territorial and institutional boundaries through telecommunicated computer networks (pp 24)
· The global society is a networked society and exclusion from these networks is ‘tantamount to structural marginalisation in the global network society’ (Castells, 2009: 25)
Limitations of materials. Benefits from global networks: access to bigger markets and a variety of producers. Breaking down the value chain.
States – the network state
· State have sovereignty in specific territories; has ultimate legislative powers; the power of force (police/army); and have citizens. They are the ones who have an existent power relationships. They are very powerful: control the material form of power (guns, armies, war, police, army) and they have power over the citizens.
· With globalisation and networks these powers affect the sovereignty of the state which has to alter/transform to adapt to these dynamic situations
A. They associate together – ASEAN; EU; NATO; etc. – G20 at the ‘top of the pecking order’
B. Dense networks of international organisations to deal with international issues (UN; WTO; IMF; World Bank etc.)
C. Nation states devolve powers to regional bodies and sometimes NGOs to overcome a crisis of political legitimacy.
The material we discussed in last weeks lecture details the role of the State in the UK
Organisations – the network organization
· Castells points to the rise of the network enterprise as a response to the needs to increased flexibility and autonomy.
· Large organisations are divided internally into networks; small ones are parts of larger networks.
· These networks are dynamic and not stable and may (re)form around specific projects as alliances and partnerships.
· The unit of production is the business project not the firm though it is still the ‘legal unit of capital accumulation.’
· Financial valuation remains key and global financial markets are key in a network economy.

Bill Dutton's presentation on cybersecurity capacity building and work on cybersecurity in working from home (WFH). Is cybersecurity a problem or enabler for WFH?
Overview of the research project entitled 'Changing Workplaces: Implications for Cybersecurity', conducted by the GCSCC in collaboration with GrapeData.
A presentation underpinning a discussion with participants in the wide-area network (WAN) summit held on 26 September 2022 in London at the QEII. It is based on initial descriptive results of a 2022 global survey of over 7,000 internet users on their workplaces prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, during the pandemic, and currently. Questions also address the cybersecurity issues they faced during each stage of the pandemic. The rise of working from home and hybrid working are clear along with declines in office work and the use of decentralised offices. The survey was designed by our research team at the Global Centre for Cybersecurity Capacity Building at the University of Oxford in collaboration with Grape Data, a new and innovative survey research organisation, which fielded the survey.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

8. The Idea of Internet Governance?
Narrow Conceptions: Jon Postel, ICANN, IETF
Domain Name System (DNS) Root, IP addresses, and
related Internet protocol issues
Broad Conceptions
Internet-Centric Issues (e.g., names and numbers)
User-Centric Issues (skills, up-take, malevolent users)
Policy Context of the Internet (anonymity, privacy, …)
Contemporary Conceptions of Governance
hybrid, multi-jurisdictional, plural stakeholders,
networked (Bevir)
9. Ecology of Games
• Norton Long (1958) on Power Structures
• Internet governance as the outcome of an
ecology of games
• Games as arenas of competition and
cooperation among players to achieve objectives
for prizes following rules
• Internet governance is the outcome of an
ecology of games (not governed by any single set
of stakeholders, or governments)
10. Governing a Global Ecology of Choices
Governmental
Policy &
Regulation
Self-Regulation
(Learning &
Education)
Bilateral &
Multilateral
Treaties, Inst.
Tech Populism
Multistakeholder
Governance
11. Questioning Multistakeholder Approach
Is it dominated by US, or old Internet world?
Is new Internet world left out?
Losing sovereignty in jurisdictional turf struggle?
Are some stakeholders dominant? Internet Firms?
Should gov’t control through multilateral approach?
12. Multistakeholder or / and Multilateral: Principles
Multistakeholder
Collaborative Leadership Among Stakeholders with
Expertise and Commitment to Particular Problems
Multilateral / Intergovernmental
Sovereign right of governments to determine
Internet policy and regulation
13. Representation of Stakeholders
MSG: Direct engagement of private sector, business
and industry; governments; bilateral and
multilateral international institutions; civil society
and academia; and non-governmental organizations
(NGOs)
MLG: National government agency represents
interests of all in bilateral and multilateral treaties
and agreements anchored in advice and
consultation with all stakeholders
14. Role of Governments
MSG: A key category of multiple stakeholders,
with legitimacy to decide
MLG: National governments represent other
interests in intergovernmental entity
15. Process, Authority, Transparency
MSG:
• Participatory bottom up
• Horizontal across stakeholders
• Open
MLG:
• Top down consultative
• Hierarchical within states and through international
agreements / treaties
• Closed with Open Consultation
16. Problems with Multilateralism
Diminish open and global net, prioritizing national control
Reduce the value of the Internet, enhanced by every new user,
with China as a possible exception, already localized by
language?
Trust in government regulation, moving back to a future of
pre-liberalization of telecom
Create a stronger ITU, but embedded in a multistakeholder
organization, such as IGF with other multilateral instiutions
Lack of an appropriate regulatory model for the Internet
17. Problems with Multistakeholderism
Limited to communication and coordination -
soft power v authoritative decisions
Concerns over representation of regions,
nations, and stakeholders
Lack a model for regulating the Internet (key to
any progress on Internet governance)
18. The Next Decade
Last Decade’s Narrative: Technical Innovations
The Next Decade’s Narrative: Policy, Regulation &
Governance
At Stake:
• The Vitality of the Internet
• Global Economic and Social Development
• Economic and Social Development of Argentina
