#SocialContractDigitalWellbeing
The #AuIGF Social Contrract for Digital Wellbeing is well worth a look. Currently seeking feedback towards a major global internet governance framework update (current process is pretty collaborative and many of us want to keep it that way).

The data is saying that Australians have an unusually low level of trust in AI by international standards.
The researchers don't really know why.

A diverse internet is less susceptible to single points of failure and makes the internet stronger and more innovative.. An internet more centralised, will inevitably lead us to an unsafe space for human interaction.

Phew, just stood up the front and raised my point on general purpose computing and long term digital access. Nerve wracking, but I think it went down ok

The internet bans are a big issue for Australia’s youth. It’s making young people question the fairness and validity of how our internet is run and governments role in this (paraphrased)

OH: “How do we help people understand the importance of open standards?”
Me: Just look at our national rails system. Where I live the local trains wait for each other as the second track is as switched to national gauge so can’t be used by local trains on a different gauge. If a government ever took the hit and really standardised the network (maybe over a decade), trains would run so much better. Locally I wouldn’t have to wait while our local train waits its turn to use the single track available. CRAZYNESS.
Standards matter people! /end of rant

Impressed by the focus on accessibility at today’s Internet Governance Forum.
Remote users and those in the room all benefit from live AUSLAN interpretation as well as a live transcription text feed 😍.

I’m at the Australian Internet Governance Forum (auIGF) today with the @digital_justice_society
Uncle Mickey welcomed us to Kaurna Country this morning. Lovely to position this digital work within broader considerations of how we live together well and how we weave new approaches with established knowledge.
Big talks this conference on if the internet is working for us, what its problems are and how we can govern our digital spaces for inclusion, openness and better societies (there’s lots of work to do!)
What do u know about how the internet is governed? Would love peoples input and I’ll try fold some feedback into my conference contributions ;)
