New special issue: Locating and theorising platform power

by Editor IPR

Dear Net Society list manager, we would appreciate if you could post the following to your list. Best wishes, Frédéric Dubois, Managing editor, Internet Policy Review. --- New special issue of Internet Policy Review Volume 13, Issue 2 Locating and theorising platform power Guest-edited by: David Nieborg, Department of Arts, Culture and Media, University of Toronto Thomas Poell, University of Amsterdam Robyn Caplan, Sanford School of Public Policy, Duke University, Durham José van Dijck, Utrecht University Abstract Against the backdrop of ongoing public and political debates about the power and regulation of large platform conglomerates, this special issue calls for more critical, conceptual, and empirical studies on platform power. While a lot of valuable research has already been done, we see a tendency in both public and scholarly debates on leading platform companies to develop one-sided, monolithic understandings of this power. Instead, we want to argue for a relational perspective, which focuses on the relations of dependence that grow around specific platforms. Therefore, contributions locate and theorise platform power. Through specific case studies on particular types of platforms the contributions home in on the various modalities of power. The papers address three broader themes that speak to the different facets of platform power: (1) analysing platform infrastructures and markets; (2) platform governance; (3) the negotiation of platform power and its alternatives.

We created a metric of 26 indicators built on six attributes (ways of thinking about how data can be governed) to illuminate the current state of data governance. In this, our fourth year of reportage on data governance, we found. - Data is increasingly important in the age of AI, yet data governance remains a ‘work in progress.’ Policymakers need to think systemically to develop and refine data governance institutions and strategies if they want to sustain trust in data and data-driven technologies. For example, they will need to find ways to ensure that the datasets underpinning AI are as accurate, complete and representative as possible. - Middle income countries are making progress at data governance, but in general, the countries doing the most are the advanced industrial economies. - Despite the worldwide interest in responsible AI, only 42% of our case studies have adopted responsible AI initiatives. However, we see governments paying greater attention to the data governance challenges posed by AI. In 2023, 6 additional case study countries adopted these initiatives. - Most of the countries in our sample sought public comment on one or more of their data governance initiatives, yet these same countries did not, in general, respond to these comments. In many countries, data governance is not yet a fully democratic process—a feedback loop between the government and the governed. The Hub is associated with the NSF-NIST Trustworthy AI Institute for Law and Society, housed at the University of Maryland and GWU.

The State of AI Regulation Across the Globe NoC Learning Call Tuesday, 28 May 2024 | 9.00 AM EST or GMT-4 Online (Zoom) Registration: https://cyber.harvard.edu/events/state-ai-regulation-across-globe Artificial intelligence remains in the regulatory hot sea, with governments racing to develop new and refined regulations and protections for AI. While the EU AI Act is the first mover in the space and the Brussels effect is in play, countries across the globe weigh the key issues of risks, rights, and economic opportunity against the needs of their region. In this learning call, we’ll learn about different approaches to AI regulation from policy experts from Africa, Latin America, North America, and Europe. We will discuss how national priorities are implemented in different regions, how the EU AI Act has a global impact, how Rwanda and Brazil serve as new models of AI regulation, and how governments, such as the US, take sectoral, legislative, and regulatory bodies approaches to AI governance.
