The internet was supposed to unify us … but has that happened? In a world filled with cyber hacks, communication silos and government surveillance, can liberty really survive the digital age?
This Princeton-Fung Global Forum, "Society 3.0+: Can Liberty Survive the Digital Age?" will explore digital technologies in the information age, with a careful eye to how different countries and sectors approach the balance between risks, benefits and fundamental rights. Topics include privacy and human rights vs. security; vulnerabilities vs. efficiencies posed by the Internet of Things; communication silos and spread of false news vs. unfiltered and open access information; access (denied) to the digital world; and a vision for global cooperation.
Digital technology pervades citizens’ daily lives. It is imperative to step back and consider how we can govern the Information Society in a way that truly serves a worldwide interest.
Keynote Speakers:
- Vinton Cerf, Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist, Google; A "Father" of the Internet
- Brad Smith '81, President and Chief Legal Officer, Microsoft
- Neelie Kroes, Former Vice President and Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society, European Commission
