We ought to contextualize the impact of AI on Internet operations in a more holistic manner. The questions we should address include: AI and Internet connectivity, AI and its potential impact on the use and abuse of Internet infrastructure, AI and access to Internet services, AI and censorship on the Internet, AI and web governance, to name a few. In this session, I will talk about the impact of AI on the Internet and Internet governance and make a few examples of how Internet operations are streamlined or impacted by AI and how to monitor this issue in different policy fora. *Resources* Read this blog colleague Angie Orejuela: https://digitalmedusa.org/the-overlooked-connection-internet-governance-and-... *Seminar Details* Location: Tuesdays from 12-1pm in 387 CSE2 (The Bill and Melinda Gates Center) Zoom: https://washington.zoom.us/j/91639643408 *Presenter Bio* Dr. Badiei is the founder of Digital Medusa, an initiative that focuses on protecting the core values of our global digital space with sound governance.
