Happy New Year! We're really pleased to be working with colleagues in Juliet Whitworth’s team at the Local Government Association on a project to capture a range of metrics to visualise what a ‘digital place’ looks like. We’re looking for different data sources, freely available at local authority level, to build-up a detailed picture. We think we’ve captured some of the key datasets relating to digital participation, but would welcome suggestions on other indicators (that exist or need creating) to help us further map the digital landscape of a local place. #localgov #localgovdata #localgovdigital

Later last week, I attended ScotlandIS’s Tech Trends 2025 event, where Richard Marshall gave us an insight into what the top 10 tech trends of 2025 are expected to be. I found the discussion really interesting - particularly the questions raised around data protection and the complexities with compliance that arise from all these new emerging technologies. #tech #data #dataprotection

I talk tech regulation with Vincenzo Rampulla where we cover Government tech adoption + what we see DSIT doing. Helping out the Labour Digital committee, Vincenzo's also a Director at WPI Strategy having formerly been at Ofcom & within the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology so he's no stranger to these issues! Plus a shout out to the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumer Act (if you know, you know) & #smartdata forthcoming with the Data Bill.

🛜🪴👥 The Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) Journal 2024 is officially out! Early 2024, the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) launched its second portfolio of 28 additional research, innovation, and trial projects for a total of 63 SNS projects, 6G4Society being one of them. This journal gives an overview of the JU’s current projects, what they are aiming to achieve and their results so far. #6G4S is on page 172, have a look 👉 https://lnkd.in/e7Cprada Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) Martel Innovate, CyberEthics Lab., Nova, Public Safety Communication Europe (PSCE), eBOS, Digital for Planet European Commission #6G #6G4Society #SocietalValues #SustainableTech #TechForGood #FutureTech

The Global Acceptance Network is tackling such an important challenge. The transactions we can (and want to) perform online as people and organisations are becoming ever more sophisticated, empowering and rewarding. We can apply for new jobs, new schools, look for new relationships, new places live. Organisations can find new business partnerships, suppliers, and customers, and investigate and negotiate mergers and acquisitions. Empowering as this is, it comes with risk, and the risks we face are becoming more sophisticated, dangerous and damaging. Verifying the trustworthiness of things, people and organisations becomes an order of magnitude more challenging when you're doing it across silos of technology, governance and knowledge into new and unknown territories. What might an organisation look like that seeks to address these challenges? How would the organisation use technology and governance to deliver the outcomes it seeks? Why might that organisation itself be trustworthy, and how might it prove it? ... that's the challenge that GAN is seeking to address and that we at Sezoo are proud to be helping with... First founded by the fab four of Darrell O'Donnell, Drummond Reed, Marie Wallace, and Wendy Seltzer - GAN has necessarily grand, global ambitions and a number of high profile organisations already joining as members. Check out the GAN website for further details (https://gan.foundation) and for information on how you can join. Sezoo #digitaltrust #GlobalAcceptanceNetwork #GAN

In the development of the 6G network and technologies, it is essential to integrate sustainable as well as societal values from the get-go. The 6G4Society project aims to do exactly this - understand the socio-cultural aspects surrounding 6G and establish a foundation for responsible research and innovation.    As project leader, Martel spearheads the coordination efforts, driving strategic collaboration, establishing synergies, leveraging existing work, and identifying strategic action points.    We are excited to be a part of building a digital space that serves European citizens while protecting the environment.

If you're like me, trying to keep track of initiatives like the Global Digital Compact (#GDC), Digital Public Infrastructure (#DPI), Digital Public Goods (#DPG), DPI Safeguards, and others can feel overwhelming. However, there's a common thread running through them that dates back decades, when the availability of internet became widespread—but not universal. Even as internet availability and connectivity improved, barriers to effectively using and affording online internet-based resources emerged. You'll read about this as a sort of juxtaposition between digital equality and equity. This gave rise to the three "A's" of digital inclusion: Availability, Access, and Affordability—and this was before the emergence of social media, smartphones and AI. Since around 2010, a new dimension of digital exclusion has emerged: Awareness to a new breed of digital harms: online exploitation, harassment, algorithmic bias, and more. Availability, Access, Affordability, and now also Awareness to digital harms became the core areas of concern for #digitalinclusion; a common thread that unites initiatives like the GDC, DPI, DPG and more. https://lnkd.in/d_ESqb74 #leavingnoonebehind #digitaltransformation
