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.

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."

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 UN Global Pulse!

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?
