@roostah @litonidas and I have been chatting about this idea. You would need a common chipset across all devices that create or display/play media content. A bit like DRM. Imagine your phone imposing a msg over a video “this content cannot be verified.”

So much anxiety re: #deepfakes concerns the risk of fake content passing for real. Legit issue, but what happens when deepfakes are so good that we can’t prove that authentic media are real? What happens to the #ruleoflaw online when no digital evidence is admissible in court?

This is straight up brilliant. Datasheets represent a huge advance for the community of practice, and - more to the point - for rebuilding trust and safeguarding #humanrights in our broken digital commons. Congratulations - and thanks - to the authors. All in here @UNGlobalPulse!

"Datasheets for Datasets," by @TimnitGebru, @JamieMmt, @BrianaVecchione, @JennWVaughan, @HannaWallach, @HalDaume3, and @KateCrawford, proposes that every dataset be accompanied with a datasheet that documents its provenance, uses, etc. bit.ly/3oMFq7E

@rgkirkpatrick guidance is "as little accountability to the home-owner as possible." precedent is set by the case law in RazerBladeRoomba vs. LastMailDeliveryHuman (ca. 2034)

This is probably fine. Small drone can fly set paths in your house or just zip right over to where it hears noise and stream some video to you.

@chrisfabian Nice. Can you fire that remotely, or is it recommended to let the drone make the call?

UN Sec-Gen will continue to prioritize digital in 2nd term; as he said today: "We are all faced with a digital divide that is turning into a digital Grand Canyon. The aim must be an open, free and secure digital future. Our Digital Roadmap launched last year points the way."

I am deeply honoured and grateful for the trust placed in me to serve as the Secretary-General of the United Nations for a second term. Serving the @UN is an immense privilege and a most noble duty.

Watching the #neurorights space closely. An extreme case of the paradox of technology: for a childhood polio victim, for example, it could be an instrument of liberation - but in the wrong hands, the ultimate tool for enslavement.
