AGENDA
April 6
Session 1. New Digital World: The State and The Individual The Fourth Industrial Revolution dramatically reshaped the international economic and political landscape. The Internet has become a repository of knowledge and achievements of mankind, as well as the main means of production in the modern world. However, the opening of new digital horizons not only created opportunities for business and science, but also became a challenge for citizens and states around the world. Government systems are increasingly forced to transform, adapt to new realities, respond to information risks and protect the physical world from the digital one. The state is creating a brand-new framework for sustainable digital dialogue based on setting the individual at the center of the digital transformation as a response to the issues of our time. It relates to the cooperative promotion of common approaches to the regulation of the digital environment within the context of international processes. During the session, it will be proposed to discuss what values underlie this new approach, what role the state should take in modern Internet Governance processes, and how to maintain human-centric digital technologies. The panelists will also consider the role of such initiatives as the Global Digital Compact, which proclaims its goal to create a fair and equitable digital world order. Moderator: Vadim Vinogradov, Higher School of Economic Participants:
Session 7. New Technologies In Medicine As A Tool For Healthcare Development The session participants will discuss approaches to reforming the current regulation in the field of healthcare based on the best international practices for the development of artificial intelligence technologies. Topics for discussion:
Participants:
Session 8. Digital transformation: the voice of youth Internet Governance plays a special role in sustainable development and digital transformation. Focusing on the Internet, it is important to take into account the opinion of stakeholders, and especially the younger generation. The youth has always been an important driver of digitalization. However, there is still a lack of informing young people about the existing opportunities to participate in digital transformation processes in Internet Governance ecosystem. Projects that provide such opportunities must be open and accessible in order for the younger generation to become the positive force that it can become. The session will present the results of the IGF 2022 youth track, the results of the RIGF special course for youth, programs for youth in the world (ITU, NetMission, IGF, ICANN), as well as information about the youth projects of the Coordination Center for TLD .RU.
