#IGF2023 breakdown of participants. It did feel very much like the private sector was dominant in most of the sessions I went to. Glad to see the numbers.

The UN Global Digital Compact is the latest attempt to “fix” internet governance and address the perceived gap in the current multistakeholder governance model.

🌅 Sun has set on the final day of the #IGF2023. I attended 21 sessions, only about 5% of what was on offer. I had many interesting hallway discussions and took 7000 words worth of notes. I still have much follow up, and will write about takeaways. But for now, good night IGF, and thank you! 🙇‍♂️

It is deeply regrettable that Saudi Arabia, a country that does not respect free speech, an essential part of internet freedom and human rights, is hosting #IGF2024. I have no choice but to abstain from participating. I am appalled and saddened. #IGF2023

@emilymbender highlighting the colonialism of #LLMs and appropriation of languages.

it's impossible to separate the 'how' (and who) from the 'what' is being done with LLMs.

#igf2023 #igf

Oh the tired "it's not inherently bad, it is how it's used" argument for technology, now from #Meta talking about #LLMs. These "ground breaking" tools are not inherently bad...

on fair share: "if providing the service is not porfitable then maybe we should change telecoms into a public utility"

"evidence based" #policy. another truism. what is the alternative?

adding to my list of truisms: "human centered #AI", "values based decision making" and "cheeseless anchovy pizza".

Next #IGF will be in Saudi!!! I can't find the words to express how ridiculous and offensive this is for the #DigitalRigths and #HumanRights community. And... wait for it, Russia wants to host 2025!!! (thankfully, Norway stepped in to challenge that one)

Are governmemts really just a reactive force in the face of #AI development by big tech?

Regulate, facilitate, promote readiness, train, incentivize...

I have diffulty understanding why we have to say "human centered" and "values centered" for #AI development. What are the alternatives?
#igf2023

My summary of #AI discussions at #IGF2023:

AI is a general pupose technology that will impact everything BUT might also be dangerous. We do not want to miss this opportunity, so we need to harness it properly. Because we need buy in and support, we need a #multistakeholder approach.
Multistakeholder means big industry who are to be catered to, so that our country can compete internationally; and sometime users, who talk about how scared they are and bring their "concerns ".

Gorgeous day for day 4 of #IGF2023 at the Kyoto International Conference Center. Today we discussed how the nature of the internet has changed and how the IGF can evolve as a multistakeholder forum for the future. This year there are over 8000 participants, the most in the IGF’s 18 year history.
