Nordangård: UN's Digital World Brain Seeks To Track Everything And Everyone

• BY: JACOB NORDANGÅRD, PHD

This means that all people should be connected to the Internet, that liability criteria for discrimination and misleading content should be developed, that artificial intelligence should be regulated, and the establishment of the "Digital Commons" as a global public good. However, the whole thing is more comprehensive than that. By extension, this constitutes the construction of a digital World Brain intended to regulate and control all human life to keep it within the planetary boundaries.

The commitment is one of the more central ones and is about creating a consensus on the need for total digitization. This builds on the recommendations made in the report The Age of Digital Interdependence (2019) by the UN High Level Panel on Digital Cooperation led by Melinda Gates (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) and Jack Ma from the Ali Baba Group and in collaboration with actors such as the World Economic Forum and their Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.[2]

At the "Summit for the Future" in 2023, the UN, together with civil society and the private sector, are expected to agree on shared principles for an "open, free and secure digital future for all".

This includes promoting a "trustworthy Internet" with accountability criteria for discrimination and misleading content as well as regulating Artificial Intelligence to be consistent with "our shared global values". However, what this means in practice is that the "values" must correlate with the beliefs held sacred by the UN and WEF (see The Ministry of Truth).
