#DigitalEconomy #DigitalColonialism #VC #SiliconValley: "As countries in the Global South have long been plundered for labor and precious natural resources, today’s digital economy is extracting data from its citizens. And as the new dirty jobs of the digital economy are outsourced to the Global South—for instance, content moderators and data labelers in Kenya and the Philippines scouring the dregs of social media to protect the public from extreme and graphic material—we are witnessing the construction of a new age of digital sweatshops, where the most dangerous work is offshored to be performed by workers with the fewest protections.

The tech industry likes to present itself as presiding over a new industrial revolution that will change the world forever. It’s a more apt comparison than they might realize. As Dr. Onoho’Omhen Ebhohimhen of the Nigeria Labour Congress explained to us, noting that the effects of the digital economy, such as algorithmic management of workers, “is akin to reproducing the first Industrial Revolution, where workers were bonded and locked up, worked for 20 hours or more in a day, and had no right to a family life.”

Yet, it doesn’t have to be this way. Digital innovation can disrupt economies in favor of collaborative, solidarity-based forms of decent and quality work, where all can flourish. So, how might we democratize the digital economy so workers have agency and are able to shape the future alongside the technologists and venture capitalists of Silicon Valley?"

Le Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) stanno emergendo come una nuova forma di valuta digitale. A differenza delle criptovalute, sono emesse e regolate da banche centrali. Le CBDC promettono pagamenti più efficienti e inclusione finanziaria, ma ci sono preoccupazioni riguardo la privacy e la stabilità del sistema finanziario.🌐💰🔐 #CBDC #DigitalEconomy #FinTech

Well done, Gerhard... This work is part of a master thesis project in our #DigitalEconomy Master Program at #WUWien (Vienna University of Economics and Business) ! :-)

The USTR's NTE report details the obstacles U.S. exporters across industries face around the world. This year’s report highlights the vast hindrances that the #DigitalEconomy faces on the international stage, undermining the very promise the #Internet offered in expanding open and interconnected markets. https://www.project-disco.org/21st-century-trade/ustr-documents-digital-trade-barriers-in-key-foreign-markets/

Da bin ich mit Faßmann 100% d'accord. Was allerdings wieder einmal fehlt sind die Forschungsbereiche #artificialintelligence, #computerscience #digitaleconomy wo #AT dringend benötige Schlüsselkräfte verliert, statt sie zu gewinnen, wo Kapazitäten in der Grundlagenforschung und Ausbildung dringend ausgebaut werden müssten um den internationalen Anschluss nicht zu verlieren. Wir tun was wir können an den Universitäten, doch es bräuchte weit mehr als eine defensiv verteidigende Haltung gegen Wissenschaftsskepsis, es bräuchte entschlossene Investition in die gegenwärtigen und zukünftigen Herausforderungen!

The future of work is hybrid, but there is no one-size-fits-all approach yet.

At the latest MIT Thinker-Fest 2023 conference, a panel of experts shared advice on leading teams that are partially or fully remote. Lack of physical presence in the workplace is not an excuse to ignore remote workers. It's imperative to break down barriers to ensure equity and access for all employees.

Here are some key takeaways:

The Internet transforms traditional economic activities, shaping a new type of economy by creating new business models. We call it the Digital Economy, and we see an acceleration thanks to four key factors.
