Artificial Intelligence has the potential to bring immense opportunities, but it also poses challenges. Artificial intelligence (AI) is dominating the R&D agenda of the leading Internet industry. The Silicon Valley and other startup hubs are buzzing about artificial intelligence and the issue has come at the top of policymakers' agenda including the G20, the ITU, and the OECD, where leaders gathered this week in Paris. more
Two events, which made headlines in the digital world in 2016, will probably frame the Internet Governance Agenda for 2017. October 1, 2016, the US government confirmed the IANA Stewardship transition to the global multistakeholder community. November 2, 2016, the Chinese government announced the adoption of a new cybersecurity law which will enter into force on July 1, 2017. more
This post I've been pondering on for a long time, but never found the right angle and perhaps I still haven't. Basically I have these observations, thoughts, ideas and a truckload of questions. Where to start? With the future prospects of us all. Thomas Picketty showed us the rise of inequality. He was recently joined by Robert J. Gordon who not only joins Picketty, but adds that we live in a period of stagnation, for decades already. "All great inventions lie over 40 years and more behind us", he points out. more
I am proud (or disappointed) to announce the 8th annual MIT Spam Conference, March 25th and 26th at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts. A regular research competition that brings out the best minds in the fight against unsolicited email. At this point it would be helpful to provide a little background on the conference and remind everyone that the Call For Papers is still open. more
Competing DNS-based proposals seek to establish verifiable identities for AI agents, raising questions about accountability, interoperability, and the commercial interests of domain industry players positioning themselves to shape the emerging infrastructure for agent identity. more
The third Global Data Technology Conference will bring international technical organizations together in Beijing on December 9 to explore AI infrastructure, trusted data spaces, advanced networking, open standards, and global cooperation. more
Cyberattacks on supermarkets, utilities and cryptocurrency platforms reveal how unclear responsibilities and institutional failures can expose critical systems, raising questions about accountability across cybersecurity, supply chains and Internet governance. more
As autonomous AI agents gain access to critical systems, a proposed governance framework combines risk-based verification, API restrictions, model provenance and infrastructure safeguards to balance security costs with operational resilience. more
AI agents with access to decrypted messages pose new challenges for end-to-end encryption, raising questions about endpoint privacy, operating-system permissions and whether users can protect conversations when their correspondents enable AI assistants. more
Rapidly growing bot traffic is changing how Internet networks are designed, managed and billed. As AI-driven applications expand, smaller ISPs could face rising capacity demands, unpredictable traffic patterns and costly infrastructure upgrades. more
A US proposal would replace "artificial intelligence" with "super intelligence" in ITU Resolution 214, remove references to shared concerns and prohibit ITU work supporting AI governance, regulation and ethics. more
As opposition to large data centers grows, developers face mounting pressure to address environmental impacts, infrastructure costs and limited local economic benefits. Greater transparency and community engagement could prove more profitable than secrecy. more
Previous Verisign Informed™ posts emphasized the importance of high-assurance infrastructure and timely certificate status information, including revocation status, which can change after issuance or expiration and is essential for establishing trust in Internet security. more
ICANN's 2026 new gTLD round attracted 1,615 applications, with competition concentrated on contested extensions. Strong registration growth contrasts with weak renewal rates, raising questions about long-term demand and commercial viability. more
ICANN's 2026 new gTLD applications reveal a shift toward AI agents, developer infrastructure and digital trust, with .agent replacing .app as the most contested string amid growing competition and persistent geographic disparities. more
