Session
Theater
Duration (minutes): 60
Format description: A sixty minute session will allow for thorough analysis of this complex and multifaceted topic from an experienced panel spanning multiple sectors and industries, while simultaneously ensuring enough time for audience questions. The theater style setup will give the panelists the appropriate space to exchange views and be visible to participants and direct themselves to the entire room.
As immersive and Web 3 technologies propel us into the future internet, we must ask what is needed to ensure safe, trustworthy and interoperable internet ecosystems that serve a diverse global community of users and developers. The World Economic Forum’s Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution’s Division on Governance and Trust will explore the governance principles for the development of responsible deployment of immersive technologies, coupled with digital safety principles that promote human rights and ethical policy decisions in the next phase of the internet.
1. An online moderator will be present to ensure online attendees may fully participate and have their opinions be included in the discussion. An onsite organizer will act as rapporteur to fully integrate the views of both online and onsite attendees. The organizer and moderators will all be tasked with monitoring the live zoom chat to address any questions from online attendees. 2.The session will be well structured to receive interventions from online and onsite attendees in an alternating manner to allow for equitable representation from both groups. 3. PowerPoint and screen sharing will be used so both online and onsite attendees have access to the same materials while the session is ongoing as well as to ensure experiential parity in information shared.
