| 2024 Submission 2 | Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials that you may freely use and reuse at no cost, and without needing to ask permission. Unlike traditional copyrighted resources, OER have been authored or created by an individual or organization that chooses to allow for re-use and adaptation of their work.
In some cases, that means you can download a resource and share it with colleagues and students. In other cases, you may be able to download a resource, edit it in some way, and then re-post it as a remixed work. How do you know your options? OER often have a Creative Commons license or other permission to let you know how the material may be used, reused, adapted, and shared. You can use OER to supplement (or even replace) traditional educational resources. | Access and Digital Inclusion • Artificial Intelligence • Emerging Technologies | |

| 2024 Submission 21 | While AI appears to be the flavour of the moment, clearly it is a double edged sword; an extremely dangerous and pervasive technology that is so terribly open to abuse in so many sectros of society.
Therefore it would seem imperative that trustworthy AI (and the underpinning data structures) that need to be implemented and should form the basis of new legislation emerging from our various political leadership groups. Unfortunately, these representatives have very little understanding of the problem space, let alone having ever implemented such computational techniques. Perhaps the IGF can come up with soem guidance on how AI could be made compliant with forthcoming legislation? | Artificial Intelligence • Data Governance and Privacy | |
| 2024 Submission 18 | It is time in the wake of the growing capability and use of AI that serious consideration be given to establishing a legal framework to protect individuals from having their image and likeness used without informed consent - deep fakes. In addition, the unauthorized use of such images, to include (audio recordings), that are altered without informed consent should constitute a cause of action resulting in civil penalties. Government regulatory bodies such as the FCC should be given the authority to sanction persons or entities that do so. | Artificial Intelligence • Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety • Data Governance and Privacy • Emerging Technologies • Online Harms | |
| 2024 Submission 24 | 1. Responsible use of the Internet.
2. Potential fragmentation caused by artificial intelligence. 3. The need for free tools for privacy to protect Human Rights. 4. Potentially harmful packaging (e.g., privacy loss, restricted access, lack of competition, etc.) of core Internet functionality (data transmission, management, prioritization, identity/IP protection, etc.) as products to users. 5. Governments using the Internet to build small business capacity and global competitiveness. | Access and Digital Inclusion • Artificial Intelligence • Data Governance and Privacy • Digital Markets and Competition • Emerging Technologies • Online Harms | |
| 2024 Submission 28 | Responsible use of the Internet. Privacy tools for consumers as a Human Right. AI’s impact on fragmentation. Potential harms associated with the increase in commodification of core Internet infrastructure. Government, small business and the Internet. | Access and Digital Inclusion • Artificial Intelligence • Data Governance and Privacy • Digital Markets and Competition • Online Harms | |
| 2024 Submission 31 | Access and Digital Inclusion This panel will focus on redlining in the US and what does exclusion of these communities mean for our efforts to close the digital connectivity divide. The Panel will offer a retrospective on why many communities are being redlined, even during the past year when the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) has been available, and what can be done to make communities more attractive to providers. The panel will also attempt to provide some solutions on how communities can make themselves more attractive and bring in providers. | Access and Digital Inclusion • Artificial Intelligence • Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety • Data Governance and Privacy | |
| 2024 Submission 33 | Artificial Intelligence represents one of the greatest paradigm disruptions that the FBI has ever seen. AI technology has the potential to augment and empower the agents and analysts of the FBI, leveraging technology to supercharge their ability to achieve decision advantage in previously unforeseen ways. Keeping up with the pace of technology evolution, and continuously evolving to the shifting governance landscape is no small task for any agency. The stakes involved when integrating AI, and any emerging technology into law enforcement processes are particularly immense. Done well and justice prevails in new and vigorous ways, but when done poorly cases can be compromised and the wheels of justice may fall off with disastrous consequences. The FBI will discuss how the Bureau is approaching integration of AI into no-fail law enforcement operations, including areas of focus, governance and oversight, as well as other guardrails to ensure that the Bureau can embrace the benefits of AI while avoiding the creation of unnecessary risks. | Access and Digital Inclusion • Artificial Intelligence • Content Policy • Data Governance and Privacy • Emerging Technologies | |
| 2024 Submission 36 | The threat and promise of AI for the rights and privileges in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and why they should be the model for an agreed common set of human values for AI alignment. Pained but not surprised Human Rights not in your list of Issue Area categories. Most of the focus has been on the potential challenges AI poses for HRs, not on the positives. | Artificial Intelligence • Data Governance and Privacy • Other | |
| 2024 Submission 37 | Little research has focused on geography as a context for AI deployment and policy. Further, even within current contexts for investigations, there is a distinct bias for scrutinizing technology and impacts within an urban context. This ignores the people and communities in non-urban spaces that, too, are and will be impacted by the creation and use of artificial intelligence. Therefore, a discussion of rural as a context for AI creation, deployment, and sustainability is long overdue. This discussion should also include discussions of privacy, data governance, and security. | Access and Digital Inclusion • Artificial Intelligence • Data Governance and Privacy | |
| 2024 Submission 41 | I suggest to discuss the feasibility and paths toward building an inclusive international regulation framework of artificial intelligence. Currently, the benefits generated by AI are mostly shared among developed countries, while the risks tend to go to developing countries and under-developed countries. Unequal distribution of AI-related benefits and risks is likely to lead to "geopolitization" of artificial intelligence. Therefore, I suggest that the IGF-USA organises a panel to investigate the opportunities to build an international regulation framework of AI, such that AI becomes a technology that buttresses global solidarity in the long term. | Artificial Intelligence |
