#AI #Commons #DataCommons #OpenSource #PublicGoods: "In short, the sharing economy’s world without money was built on top of a world where money was everything, and the bill has come due. Our data has not only been appropriated, but is increasingly used against us. It has become the fuel behind AI models whose power and influence on our lives we are just beginning to fathom, but that we can already see are not all positive, or not all to our advantage – especially to those most vulnerable in our societies.

Big Tech will continue to cling to the idea of data as a non-rival good, claiming that data extractivism is all done for our benefit. They may even promise that their AI models will be open-source public goods, which supposedly means that our stolen data will come back to us as a more useful product, capable of solving the world’s problems.

We must see these moves for what they are: Not the altruistic actions of benevolent corporations, but a way to avoid lawsuits, delay attempts at serious regulation and more importantly, justify the privatisation of the commons."

Interesting discussion today at @UCLATech on #digitaldivide #digitaldiscrimination #broadbandaccess as #humanright @karanicolas

Probably this article enhances the #digitaldivide #access topics with #datadivide #datafication with practices and lessons learnt related to #digitalrights #AI #datacooperatives #datacommons #city2citylearning in #cities #LongBeach #LosAngeles #LA #SanJose #Portland

Sounds like a very cool job at @okfn@twitter.com. and working on something that deserves more attention: making private sector data open to the public #datacommons

I'm at the two day event

"Reclaiming Freedom and Control in a data based society"

#datacommons #digitaljustice

Pre the #IGF in Berlin next week … this is probably the more interesting bit, led by civil society organisations.

We need to talk about AI and data for good to come up with good implementation - both from a regulatory and technical perspective to infrastructure & environmental issues in developing countries. #opendata, #datacommons

Chatted with Noemi of the #DataCommons Co-op about using #Loomio for project governance, which would be an exciting step for the still fairly informal/ad hoc project, which describes itself as “perhaps the geekiest of all cooperative organizations on the planet!” (though I think #SocialCoop might be competition for that award).
