This workshop will analyse the evolution of prosocial tech governance in Europe, North America, and the Global Majority, and seeks to contribute to the Council on Tech and Social Cohesion’s policy framework for promoting technology that fosters safer and more cohesive societies
Co-organised by the Global PeaceTech Hub at the Florence School of Transnational Governance (STG), the Council on Technology and Social Cohesion, Centre on Conflict, Development and Peacebuilding (CCDP), Geneva Graduate Institute and reState Foundation, this workshop has two main goals:
- To analyse the evolution of prosocial tech governance in Europe, North America, and the Global Majority, focusing on policy interactions with regulations such as the EU’s Digital Services Act and recent US legislation.
- To contribute to the Council on Tech and Social Cohesion’s draft 'Blueprint for Prosocial Tech Design Governance,' a policy framework for promoting technology that fosters safer and more cohesive societies. The ‘Blueprint’ incorporates a menu of legislative options, a set of distinct tiers of prosocial tech design, and considerations around future designs of the digital public square.
The discussion will be centred on core questions such as: What is holding big tech accountable and incentivizing prosocial tech design? What are we seeing in Europe and the USA? How can Design Governance inform EU Design Regulation? What is the state of play in the Global Majority in terms of tech policy and regulations? What are potential avenues for uptake for Design Governance ?
