POSITIVE & NEGATIVE IMPACT

Positive impact of digitization: Everyone is connected - Innovation Skyping with my grandmother in Ecuador; meeting the love of my life through Tinder; knowledge explosion on the internet; kids getting education everywhere through EdX. Sustainable technologies; information online is open and accessible for all through Search; digital services bringing comfort; ordering clothes and food online; never getting lost anymore with Google Maps, Negative impact digitization: Societal Inequalities are reinforced by tech Vulnerability at labour market; excluding the poor with personalized offers and dynamic pricing ; segregation through social media filter bubble; phone addiction and decreasing social cohesion; behavior online is sold; AirBnB housing taking over areas; disadvantaged become more disadvantaged; data centres and high co2 emissions, bias in algorithms

“everyone has the right to move freely in public space, without being spied upon”

First Digital City Agenda

Free, inclusive and creative

Digital Rights in Cities

What’s at stake?

personal information tracked, monitored, shared and sold without

consent

‘black box’ algorithms that make unaccountable and unfair

decisions

harassment and hate speech on social media

weakening of public faith in institutions

undermining of democratic processes and capacity

https://citiesfordigitalrights.org/

▪ Cities are the closest democratic institutions to people and are dealing with

growing consequences when it comes to digital rights violations

1. Public opinion leadership

2. Being an agile testbed for new policies and rules

3. Legislating and managing public space

4. Use purchasing power

What can Cities do?

01 Universal and equal access to the internet, and

digital literacy

02 Privacy, data protection and security

03 Transparency, accountability, & non-discrimination

of data, content and algorithms

04 Participatory Democracy, diversity and inclusion

05 Open and ethical digital service standards

The Principles

1. Use the international digital rights coalition lobbying for funding and new legislation in national and international a.i. strategies

2. Build up joint standards for responsible technology in cities, for example on artificial intelligence

3. Position your city locally as a global digital capital who believes in technological opportunities and respect human rights

4. Make a more meaningful connection of city council to civil society groups and digital realm

“The economic added value of Open Data is 140

billion euro in the EU”

We opened up our data, went for a lunch break,

Klik op het pijltje naast Nieuwe dia om een nieuwe dia aan te maken. Kies een van de indelingen. Klik op Indeling als de dia opnieuw moet worden aangepast aan de huidige indeling, of om een andere indeling toe te passen. De tekstvakken van de dia’s hebben allen 9 niveaus. Eerste, tweede en derde niveau hebben een opsomming. Het vierde niveau is bold en geschikt voor een kopje. Het vijfde niveau is voor de basistekst. Zowel niveau vier als vijf lijnen automatisch uit aan de linkerkantlijn. Het zesde, zevende en achtste niveau lijnen uit onder resp. eerste, tweede en derde opsomming. Het negende niveau is een kleiner lettertype dat uitlijnt aan de linkermarge. Deze is geschikt voor bijvoorbeeld een bijschrift. Let op: Let op: wissel van stijl met de knoppen voor lijstniveau verhogen of verlagen, of in MS Office met verkorte toetscombinatie Alt+Shift+← of Alt+Shift+→ Gebruik dus niet de standaard opsomming- knoppen van MS Office om de stijl te veranderen!
