In collaboration with the @Network_Centers, we've engaged in a novel format of experiential learning concerning AI policies -> practice, working with a real-world use case. We plan to scale up the model internationally.

What is digital self-determination, and what could it be in the future? Together with 25 students from around the globe and @Network_Centers contributors, we explored these questions. Check out the fruits of this networked research sprint, incl. an inaugural Wikipedia entry!

Working with 40 participants from around the world & colleagues from @Network_Centers in a global classroom, examining the pandemic's impact on learning, and peer-producing meaningful outputs, is a manifestation of a theory of change that resonates with me. I'm grateful for it.

On Wed, 11 Nov @ 12:30 I'll be presenting a paper, showing how we could trigger inter-platform competition in the area of the digital economy by softening Net Neutrality rules. Firms should be allowed to compete on Internet speed. Disagree? Let's discuss: https://t.co/9VPJ2M1wo5
