| 2024 Submission 4 | Development in Critical infrastructure in America has been rapid in the past decade. There has been upgradation of the Technology integrated with the critical infrastructure facilities in the region. With the development of the IoT sector and 5G technology, there are opportunities for growth and potential vulnerabilities of national security concerns. Massive foreign investment also seems to add to the exposure as it potentially influences the foreign policy agenda of many American countries. Depending on these investments and diplomatic ties, the protection of critical infrastructure may be compromised - reflecting the need for cyber diplomacy as a tool to prevent cyberattacks as an act of war. Therefore we must discuss the connection of critical infrastructure security with Cyberdiplomacy | Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety • Data Governance and Privacy • Emerging Technologies • Sustainability | |
| 2024 Submission 17 | The inclusion of cybersecurity awareness and basic principles in early/adolescent public education. This inclusion would potentially improve cybersecurity gaps in the workforce, reduce the victimization in cybercrime on an individual level, boost national defense in a sense that the average citizen would be cyber-savvy enough to reduce attack surface. | Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety | |
| 2024 Submission 34 | The current digital landscape struggles to offer a system that installs trust and confidence in online interactions. Despite the rapid growth of online services and the critical need for secure identification, there is no cohesive mechanism in place to introduce a level of trust that mirrors what we experience in the physical world. This has resulted in inconsistencies, vulnerabilities, and a myriad of security challenges. The Decentralized Identity Verification System (DIVS) aims to bridge this gap by introducing the trust of the physical world (e.g., governmental entities) into the digital space. By leveraging secure cryptographic systems and learning from experiences like the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), the goal is to build a digital identity framework that can serve as a robust layer of trust. | Access and Digital Inclusion • Cybersecurity Cybercrime and Online Safety • Data Governance and Privacy • Emerging Technologies • Online Harms | |
| 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 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 |
