The dg.o conferences are an established forum for presentation, discussion, and demonstration of interdisciplinary research on digital government, political participation, civic engagement, technology innovation, applications, and practice. Each year the conference brings together scholars recognized for the interdisciplinary and innovative nature of their work, their contributions to theory (rigor) and practice (relevance), their focus on important and timely topics and the quality of their writing. *THEME & TRACK TOPICS:* The 20th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research will feature the main theme of “Governance in the Age of Artificial Intelligence“. The growing applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are triggering numerous opportunities—as well as challenges and dilemmas—for governments worldwide. Traditional forms of service provisioning, policy-making and enforcement are changing due to the inclusion AI algorithms, mechanisms and techniques. The growing digitization of government operations, the universal datafication of societal activities, behaviors and sentiments, as well as the maturity and feasibility of big data techniques and applications have collectively laid down solid foundations for industrial-scale operationalization of AI across most governments and societal sectors. This year’s timely theme, builds on the dg.o 2018 conference which focused on governance in the data age. The rapid growth of the data-driven economy and the use of intelligent mechanisms result in rapid digitalization of government operations and the emergence of new governance structures. This datafication and AI revolution is boosted by growing smart cities applications, Internet of Things (IoT), social media, mobile apps, among other sources of big data. Governments still face limited understanding of the multifaceted changes brought about by the advent of AI in governance. An increasing number of governments, international organizations, leading research centers, think tanks and global private sector corporations are coming together to explore these changes. However, there is a dearth of thought-leadership in the areas of policy, development and societal implications of AI. This knowledge gap is a key developmental barrier as many governments wrangle with the societal, economic, political and ethical implications of these transformations. During the past two decades, the dg.o conference has been at the helm of the digital governance transformations. In its 20th anniversary, the dg.o 2019 conference will build in past themes to explore the fast maturing artificial intelligence drive embraced by an increasing number of governments and businesses worldwide. Finally, the dg.o 2019 will be held at the MBR School of Government in Dubai, UAE. The UAE government has officially acknowledged the importance of AI in government operations, economic and societal development. For example, on the strategic level, the UAE government has issued the national “UAE Artificial Intelligence Strategy”. On the organizational level, it has also appointed a “Minister of State of Artificial Intelligence”, a global first, who is tasked with coordinating the government’s AI efforts and driving the government’s AI agenda. On the global level, the UAE is also proactively contributing to the global agenda addressing the multi-faceted implications of these transformations. For example, the government has recently introduced its “Fourth Industrial Revolution” agenda and took the lead on putting together a council to address the manifestations of the fourth industrial revolution and its impact on society and economy, it is leading a global blockchain council, while convening a global AI expert group of practitioners and thought-leaders. These developments align well with the conference theme, and will increase the impact of the knowledge created during the conference on policy, whether through the tracks, workshops, submission, and discussions. *For full call of papers and submissions guidelines:* https://easychair.org/cfp/dgo2019 <https://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=4971&d=u9OZ3PpP9Bi6jaj8eJGsi9xZkJ2RvRr-El…> Thanks and Regards, *Fadi Salem* Chair, *“Governance in the Age of Artificial Intelligence” – The 20th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research (DGO2019),* 18-20 June 2019, Dubai, UAE Call for Papers and Submissions: https://easychair.org/cfp/dgo2019 <https://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=4971&d=u9OZ3PpP9Bi6jaj8eJGsi9xZkJ2RvRr-El…> Director of Research & Advisory Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government (formerly the Dubai School of Government) ------------------------------ Scanned by *MailMarshal* - Trustwave's comprehensive email content security solution.

Topics on Internet Censorship and Surveillance (TICS): Call for Contributions
by Vasilis Dec. 19, 2018

Dec. 19, 2018

*Topics on Internet Censorship and Surveillance (TICS): Call for Contributions* PDF version: https://www.iaria.org/conferences2019/filesICN19/TICS.pdf (Spanish version below) Over the past years there has been a greater demand for online censorship and surveillance, as an understandable reaction against hate speech, copyright violations, and other cases related to citizen compliance with civil laws and regulations by national authorities. Unfortunately, this is often accompanied by a tendency of extensively censoring online content and massively spying on citizens actions. Numerous whistleblower revelations, leaks from classified documents, and a vast amount of information released by activists, researchers and journalists, reveal evidence of government-sponsored infrastructure that either goes beyond the requirements and scope of the law, or operates without any effective regulations in place. In addition, this infrastructure often supports the interests of big private corporations, such as the companies that enforce online copyright control. TICS is a special track the area of Internet censorship, surveillance and other adversarial burdens to technology that bring in danger; to a greater extend the safety (physical security and privacy) of its users. Proposals for TICS 2019 should be situated within the field of Internet censorship, network measurements, information controls, surveillance and content moderation. Ideally topics should connect to the following, but not limited to: - Technical, social, political, and economical implications of Internet censorship and surveillance - Detection and analysis of network blocking and surveillance infrastructure (hardware or software) - Research on legal frameworks, regulations and policies that imply blocking or limitation of the availability of network services and online content - Online censorship circumvention and anti-surveillance practices - Network measurements methodologies to detect and categorize network interference - Research on the implications of automated or centralized user content regulation (such as for hate speech, copyright, or disinformation) *Important Deadlines* Submission: Jan 29, 2019 Notification: Feb 18, 2019 Registration: Feb 27, 2019 Camera-ready: Feb 27, 2019 *Contribution Types* - Regular papers [in the proceedings, digital library] - Short papers (work in progress) [in the proceedings, digital library] - Posters: two pages [in the proceedings, digital library] - Posters: slide only [slide-deck posted on www.iaria.org] - Presentations: slide only [slide-deck posted on www.iaria.org] - Demos: two pages [posted on www.iaria.org] *Paper Format* - See: http://www.iaria.org/format.html - Before submission, please check and comply with the editorial rules: http://www.iaria.org/editorialrules.html Publications - Extended versions of selected papers will be published in IARIA Journals: http://www.iariajournals.org - Print proceedings will be available via Curran Associates, Inc.: http://www.proceedings.com/9769.html - Articles will be archived in the free access ThinkMind Digital Library: http://www.thinkmind.org *Paper Submission* https://www.iariasubmit.org/conferences/submit/newcontribution.php?event=IC… ########################################################################### Llamado a contribuciones para participación: Con el paso de los años, se va erigiendo cada vez más censura y vigilancia para enfrentar los casos de extremismo, discursos de odio, cumplimiento de derechos de autor, y otras situaciones en que se busca asegurar que los ciudadanos cumplan con las leyes y regulaciones. Sin embargo, vemos un aumento desafortunado en la tendencia de los gobiernos de sobre-bloquear y sobre-vigilar a sus ciudadanos. Numerosas revelaciones de denunciantes, filtraciones de documentos clasificados, y una gran cantidad de información que ha sido presentada por activistas, investigadores y periodistas revelan evidencia de cómo los gobiernos instalan y operan, sin un marco regulatorio que controle y limite los ámbitos o flujos de información capturados en servicios en línea y/o sitios Web. Los gobiernos vigilan celosamente a sus propios ciudadanos apoyando los intereses de las grandes corporaciones como las compañías que buscan aumentar el control de los derechos de autor en línea.

FW: TILEC Call for Papers - Workshop on "Governance of Big Data and AI", June 6-7, 2019
by L.M.H. de Jong Dec. 12, 2018

Dec. 12, 2018

Dear all, Our colleagues from TILEC, the Tilburg Law and Economics Center organize a Workshop on "Governance of Big Data and AI" on June 6-7, 2019. The call for papers can be found hereunder. Contributions from the NoC members are very welcome. Best regards, Leonie de Jong Managing Director Department of Law, Technology, Markets, and Society (LTMS) Tilburg Institute for Law, Technology, and Society (TILT) Tilburg Law and Economics Center (TILEC) Montesquieu Building M709 Phone: +31 13 466 3665 e-mail: L.dejong(a)tilburguniversity.edu<mailto:L.dejong@tilburguniversity.edu> [cid:image002.jpg@01D49170.D50F2050] [http://tilburguniversity.m17.mailplus.nl/templates/Nieuwsbrief_+_agendablok…] TILEC Call for Papers Tilburg Law School and Tilburg School of Economics and Management Department of Law, Technology, Markets, and Society (LTMS) Tilburg Law and Economics Center (TILEC) and the Governance and Regulation Chair (GovReg) at University Paris-Dauphine | PSL Research University are pleased to announce the 5th Governance workshop on: "Governance of Big Data and AI" Tilburg University, the Netherlands, on June 6-7, 2019 June 6-7, 2019 Tilburg, the Netherlands Datafication has massively influenced processes within organizations, on markets, and more generally throughout society. Machine learning pushes the loop between data accumulation and innovation even further. The Tilburg Law and Economics Center (TILEC) and the Governance and Regulation Chair (GovReg) at University Paris-Dauphine | PSL Research University are pleased to announce the 5th Economic Governance workshop, which will take place at Tilburg University, the Netherlands, on June 6-7, 2019. They now strive to stimulate the debate about the economic, political, legal, and social effects of big data and artificial intelligence. As a case of special focus, algorithm-driven platforms such as social media, search engines, and news aggregators have become dominant players in news dissemination. This has transformed the media sector and the way we think about democratic political elections and the legitimacy of those elections' outcomes, with yet unknown consequences for our political systems and for many markets that are tipping towards the technological leader. These developments challenge our rules of the game: are Western institutions, formal and informal, set up appropriately to ensure fair competition among firms, innovators, politicians, or political parties? What does it mean for competition law, privacy and data access laws, international treaties, election commissions' procedures, and the codes of conduct on online platforms if most of us can be traced and monitored most of the time - but these masses of data can only be accessed, worked with, and potentially be manipulated by a few parties? Are we heading towards a future with virtually unbounded opportunities and progress for humanity - or towards a setting, where the state or large private actors control every aspect of life and the net profits of global technological progress are enjoyed by very few very rich and influential individuals? The deadline for submissions is January 20, 2019. Details and further information are here<https://www.tilburguniversity.edu/research/institutes-and-research-groups/t…>.

Albeit mirroring the GDPR’s structure and many of its provisions, the bill has its peculiarities and faces its own challenges regarding implementation. This talk aims to address these aspects in the context the country’s approach towards intermediary regulation.
