Security

& Open Learning

"The surfer went straight back out a few minutes after the shark swam away."

Arguments:

- Today, we are less individuals and more part of information networks.

(cellular networks, radio signals, software) - The information age came about not with networks, but with sharing information. - How open learning and collaboration came about. - Wikipedia (how Wikimedia works).

- The information age needs to focus less on policy and more on integration and collaboration. Tools for open learning. Hacking, bulletin boards, fact-checking. (Quora)

- Open learning teaches us to be responsible with information. We can apply Open Learning to be innovative and helpful. We can apply Open Learning

to be safe, to progress. (Discuss technological learning with peers, friends, parents)

Not all networks are governed by moral obligations.

The internet was perceived as a dumb network - as it grew more democratic, it was seen as unsafe. The safest solution is a network driven by obligation
A citizen defines security for him/herself, through learning systems.

Deep Mind

The algorithms we build are capable of learning for themselves directly from raw experience or data, and aregeneral in that they can perform well across a wide variety of tasks straight out of the box. Our world-class team consists of many renowned experts in their respective fields, including but not limited to deep neural networks, reinforcement learning and systems neuroscience-inspired models.

We perceive unclear policies as sluggish

Instruments like Wiki-leaks, rss, social networks inspire the notion that the in future economics, politics can be more Open
