		<title> Thirty Years of Original Sin of Digital and AI Governance (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/poststhirty-years-of-original-sin-of-digital-and-ai-governance</link>
		<description><![CDATA[In February 1996, a libertarian myth of cyberspace and sweeping US platform immunity collided, hardwiring digital exceptionalism. Three decades on, that original sin still shields tech and AI from accountability, with legal and social consequences. <a href="https://circleid.com/poststhirty-years-of-original-sin-of-digital-and-ai-governance">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On 17 May 1865, 20 European states convened to establish the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to streamline the clunky process of sending telegraph messages across borders. 160 years later, ITU's anniversary is more than a mere commemorative moment; it is a stark reminder that multilateral cooperation is beneficial and necessary in our increasingly interconnected world. <a href="https://circleid.com/postswhat-can-we-learn-from-160-years-of-tech-diplomacy-at-itu">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Tech Continuity in President Trump's First 100 Days (Featured Blog)</title>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://circleid.com/poststech-continuity-in-president-trumpas-first-100-days</guid>
		<link>https://circleid.com/poststech-continuity-in-president-trumpas-first-100-days</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Tech developments saw less drama than trade and environmental shifts during Trump's first 100 days. Continuity, not abrupt change, defined his approach to AI and digital regulation. Only 9 of 139 executive orders (EOs) focused on tech. Trump's tech policy emphasised reviews and incremental shifts. Public consultations on AI, cybersecurity, and cryptocurrencies signal steady evolution over upheaval. <a href="https://circleid.com/poststech-continuity-in-president-trumpas-first-100-days">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Rethinking AI Regulation: Why Existing Laws Are Enough - If We Enforce Them (Featured Blog)</title>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://circleid.com/postsrethinking-ai-regulation-why-existing-laws-are-enoughaif-we-enforce-them</guid>
		<link>https://circleid.com/postsrethinking-ai-regulation-why-existing-laws-are-enoughaif-we-enforce-them</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Existing laws can address AI challenges without new regulations. Legal frameworks have adapted to past technologies, and AI should be no exception. The real issue lies in outdated legal immunities, like Section 230, shielding tech companies from AI-driven harms. Accountability should focus on those who create and benefit from AI, not AI itself. <a href="https://circleid.com/postsrethinking-ai-regulation-why-existing-laws-are-enoughaif-we-enforce-them">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20240505-saeo-paulo-multistakeholder-guidelines-a-blueprint-for-inclusive-digital-governance</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The São Paulo Multistakeholder Guidelines adopted at last week's NETmundial +10 conference (Sao Paulo, 29-30 April 2024) provide a breath of fresh air in the current digital debates. They untangle quite a few confusions and offer a pragmatic path forward. The NETMundial statement resolves terminological confusion between internet and digital by combining two terms in the phrase 'internet governance and digital policy'. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20240505-saeo-paulo-multistakeholder-guidelines-a-blueprint-for-inclusive-digital-governance">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the beginning of 2023, the good news is that, in spite of all geopolitical tensions, the Internet infrastructure built around TCP/IP continues to carry emails, web pages, videos, and podcasts across the globe. Technically, the Internet remains robust. The bad news is that more and more digital borders will continue to affect the global nature of international digital communication... <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20230110-digital-governance-in-2023-revisiting-1998-deals-and-12-main-trends">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The year 2025 will be a landmark year for digital diplomacy and global governance. It is the year of wrapping up the UN cybersecurity OEWG and the negotiations on cybercrime at the Ad Hoc group.

		<title> Why 'Open' May Become the Keyword of the Digital World in 2022? (Featured Blog)</title>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://circleid.com/posts20220126-why-aopena-may-become-the-keyword-of-the-digital-world-in-2022</guid>
		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20220126-why-aopena-may-become-the-keyword-of-the-digital-world-in-2022</link>
		<description><![CDATA[From open standards and software to data, 'open' has been a defining word of the internet since its early days. However, most of the digital growth around major platforms has been driven by proprietary software and 'closed' systems. Recently, companies such as Microsoft and Google have been shifting towards open-source software more and more. Over the last few years, additional momentum was created with the USA adopting the open-source approach to cope with lagging behind, mainly, Huawei in the development of 5G networks. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20220126-why-aopena-may-become-the-keyword-of-the-digital-world-in-2022">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> A Tipping Point for the Internet: 10 Predictions for 2018 (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/postsa_tipping_point_for_the_internet_10_predictions_for_2018</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The year 2018 represents a tipping point for the Internet and its governance. Internet governance risks being consumed by inertia. Policy decisions are needed if we want to prevent the Internet from fragmenting into numerous national and commercial Internet(s). Geopolitical shifts, in particular, will affect how the Internet is governed. The Internet is made vulnerable by the fragmentation of global society, which is likely to accelerate in response to the ongoing crisis of multilateralism. <a href="https://circleid.com/postsa_tipping_point_for_the_internet_10_predictions_for_2018">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Digital Geneva Convention: Multilateral Treaty, Multistakeholder Implementation (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20170301_digital_geneva_convention_multilateral_treaty_multistakeholder</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft's call for a Digital Geneva Convention, outlined in Smith's blog post, has attracted the attention of the digital policy community. Only two years ago, it would have been unthinkable for an Internet company to invite governments to adopt a digital convention. Microsoft has crossed this Rubicon in global digital politics by proposing a Digital Geneva Convention which should 'commit governments to avoiding cyber-attacks that target the private sector or critical infrastructure or the use of hacking to steal intellectual property'. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20170301_digital_geneva_convention_multilateral_treaty_multistakeholder">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> From Telegraph (1914) to Twitter (2014) - Are There Lessons to Be Learned? (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20140804_telegraph_1914_to_twitter_2014_are_there_lessons_to_be_learned</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Could the Great War have been avoided if leaders had gotten together and negotiated in person instead of exchanging telegrams? In the voluminous historiography of the origins of WWI, there is a very little on the role of the telegraph. Today, as Twitter takes its place conference rooms, we can learn a lot from the failure of telegraph diplomacy one century ago... The telegraph introduced the notion of 'virtual presence'; for the first time in human history, communication was detached from transportation. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20140804_telegraph_1914_to_twitter_2014_are_there_lessons_to_be_learned">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/postsicann_and_the_red_cross_an_exceptional_exception</link>
		<description><![CDATA[ICANN's policy on the special protection of the Red Cross and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) names has triggered a very lively discussion including contributions by Konstantinos Komatis, Milton Muller, Wolfgang Kleinwächter, and myself (with Avri Doria's reply). There is an agreement that the exceptions are dangerous for ICANN's gTLD policy process which is in a formative and delicate phase. <a href="https://circleid.com/postsicann_and_the_red_cross_an_exceptional_exception">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of many controversies surrounding the introduction of new domain names is the special protection given, though a moratorium, to the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (RCRC) and International Olympic Committee (IOC). Although the RCRC and the IOC are discussed together, they are very different. <a href="https://circleid.com/postsred_cross_and_internet_governance_with_cause">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Internet Governance: Analogue Solutions to Digital Problems (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/postsinternet_governance_analogue_solutions_to_digital_problems</link>
		<description><![CDATA[This is an overview of the booklet, "Internet Governance: Issues, Actors and Divides," recently published by DiploFoundation and the Global Knowledge Partnership. "Internet Governance is not a simple subject. Although it deals with a major symbol of the DIGITAL world, it cannot be handled with a digital - binary logic of true/false and good/bad. Instead, the subject's many subtleties and shades of meaning and perception require an ANALOGUE approach, covering a continuum of options and compromises."
