VIDEO – Web3 & IP: Understanding the NFT and IP Connection

February 1, 2023January 30, 2023 by ISOC Live

On Wednesday January 25 2023 the Decentralized Future Council, Filecoin Foundation for the Decentralized Web, and Internet Education Foundation presented a panel ‘Web3 & IP: Understanding the NFT and IP Connection‘ to discuss NFTs’ connection to IP and its impact on technological innovation and civil society.

Are NFTs disrupting IP rights? What is the NFT & IP connection? Senators Tillis and Leahy have asked for a study on NFTs and IP rights and, in response, the USPTO and the Copyright Office are holding roundtables and have released a Notice of Inquiry. New decentralized technologies are challenging the definition and scope of IP protections while empowering and inspiring small and large creators alike. What does this mean for intellectual property policy?

Jonathan Victor, Ecosystem Lead- NFTs & Gaming, Protocol Labs
Sy Damle, prior GC Copyright Office, George Washington Law School

WEBCAST FEB 7 – A11yNYC – Opportunities and Challenges of AI for Accessibility – Cynthia Bennett and Shari Trewin

January 27, 2023January 26, 2023 by ISOC Live

On Tuesday February 7 2023 at 7:30pm-8:30pm EST (00:30-01:30 UTC Feb 8) the Accessibility NYC Meetup (A11yNYC) hosts a meetup ‘Opportunities and Challenges of AI for Accessibility‘.

Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have the power to change the experience of living with a disability. For example, image analysis can generate descriptions of places and images a person can’t see, and speech recognition helps many people to communicate, learn, or control their environment.

However, bias embedded into AI systems, when unchecked, can cause harm, often to people already excluded from technology development processes. For example, when someone’s voice is not recognized, they cannot take advantage of the accessibility provided by speech recognition systems like smart speakers and dictation software.

In this talk, Drs. Cynthia Bennett and Shari Trewin will go over contemporary concerns at the intersection of AI bias, accessibility, and disability, and share recent research and industry efforts toward inclusive innovation with AI.

The meetup will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society New York Accessibility SIG

In 2025 the UN GA will decide on whether to renew the IGF’s mandate as part of its WSIS+20 review process. An expert panel will explore the options and prognosis.
