The World Economic Forum (WEF) published a white paper<\/a> in November detailing the need for global governance due to life within a future internet or \u2018metaverse\u2019 as well as how digital methods of verifying a user\u2019s identity are necessary, as well as mentioning the role of biometric sensors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Note that the \u2018metaverse\u2019 the document referred to is a general term for a \u2018blended reality\u2019 within the future internet, not necessarily the proper noun Meta<\/a>, a specific system associated with Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg, which is itself, a specific metaverse project.<\/p>\n

The white paper Shared Commitments in a Blended Reality: Advancing Governance in the Future Internet<\/em> discussed the theoretical management and governance of future information technology (IT) systems designed for humans to experience a broader digital life within.<\/p>\n

The white paper declared that the need for global government is urgent due to the internet\u2019s continuing advancement.<\/p>\n

\u201cCurrent internet governance is decentralized and fragmented, highlighting the urgent need for collaborative global governance frameworks<\/em>,\u201d the white paper said on page 8.<\/p>\n

The white paper defined what this future digital \u2018life\u2019 consists of and posits that governance must evolve to incorporate itself into the management of such systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe convergence and adoption of key emerging technologies \u2013 like extended reality (XR) paired with artificial intelligence (AI), 6G, internet of things (IoT), blockchain, robotics, digital twins, etc. \u2013 is propelling the internet into a new \u2018blended reality\u2019 often referred to as \u2018the metaverse\u2019 or the \u2018future of the internet\u2019<\/em>,\u201d the white paper said on page 4. \u201cSome technologists believe that the metaverse is the experience layer \u2013 or interface layer \u2013 of the future internet, which will be underpinned by scaling technologies like XR hardware, AI and distributed ledger technology (DLT) (including blockchain and other applications). This blended reality requires a cohesive governance approach that considers the expanding interplay between digital networks, hardware, software, data and the norms and expectations of physical reality. This report outlines a vision for how governance must evolve to meet the unique challenges posed by this new blended reality paradigm<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The white paper said that as these new technologies develop, so do their potentially deleterious impacts on internet users. It should be noted that the document defines \u2018commitments\u2019 as guiding concepts, not specific obligations.<\/p>\n

\u201cDigital spaces have long been a forum for pronounced cyberbullying, harassment, abuse, exploitation, privacy violation, etc. Physical-digital blended spaces will see exacerbated forms of these issues<\/em>,\u201d the white paper said on page 14. \u201cIn blended reality, people cannot \u2018unsee\u2019 or \u2018un-experience\u2019 interactions. While people cannot unsee or un-experience reality today, the types of spatial experiences a person could be exposed to bring dynamic, evolving, palpable and visceral experiences. This underscores the urgency of refining and implementing a set of guiding commitments<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

As such, the document promotes the necessity of digital identification to link one\u2019s internet use back to their real life identity for the purposes of accountability.<\/p>\n

\u201cIdentification management: This involves enabling appropriate and suitable identity access management measures of people interacting with information technology (IT) systems to enable governance through such systems. This might include, as necessary, aspects of personal identity, digital identity, entities or digital assets and their associated ownership<\/em>,\u201d the white paper said on page 17.<\/p>\n

Infowars<\/em> recently reported<\/a> on biometric digital identification systems which are currently being utilized to link a physical body (biometrics) to digitized information. Regarding the use of biometrics as they relate to internet activity, biometric sensors play a pivotal role in this internet \u2018transformation\u2019, according to the white paper.<\/p>\n

\u201cHardware devices \u2013 such as smartphones, biometric and IoT sensors, and XR headsets \u2013 play a pivotal role in this transformation by reshaping how individuals interact with the internet and each other<\/em>,\u201d the white paper said on page 7. \u201cThese technologies are blurring the line between online and offline lives, creating new challenges and opportunities that require a coordinated and informed approach from stakeholders for effective navigation and governance<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBlurring the line between online and offline lives<\/em>\u201d may indicate an internet user\u2019s online activity being linked to attributes of their physical bodies, such as their fingerprints or eyeballs scans.<\/p>\n

The white paper also discussed how these future technologies present an opportunity to redefine global government operations (referred to as global multistakeholder collaboration) as it relates to the internet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis white paper operates on the premise that the metaverse represents a critical opportunity to redefine the norms of today\u2019s internet and, specifically, internet governance. As technologies advance, these new innovations and their governance \u2013 across business units, geographies and jurisdictions \u2013 present an opportunity to redefine norms and create a safe, inclusive, accessible, resilient and equitable metaverse. This future state, however, can only be achieved if stakeholders from industry, government, academia and civil society align on a human-first approach, ensuring that the metaverse and its supporting technologies are socially and economically beneficial for everyone<\/em>,\u201d the white paper said on page 3. \u201cAchieving this vision requires technology-agnostic, durable commitments to implementing impactful future governance. This document outlines those commitments and calls for global multistakeholder collaboration to deliver them<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chiefly, \u2018stakeholders\u2019 are those who have this \u2018opportunity for change\u2019. The WEF has promoted the idea of \u2018stakeholder capitalism\u2019 which is \u2018a global economy that works for progress, people and planet\u2019 according to Klaus Schwab\u2019s book<\/a> on the subject. In other words, it is the strengthening of global corporate control in the realm of governance that prioritizes the values deemed important by the WEF.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy adopting these commitments, stakeholders can shape a future internet that balances innovation with responsibility. The next steps involve aligning global standards and policies with these commitments and creating multistakeholder forums to drive collaboration<\/em>,\u201d the white paper said on page 4.<\/p>\n
