The digital age is rapidly evolving, presenting both unprecedented opportunities and intricate governance challenges. As technologies increasingly intertwine with every aspect of human life, from livelihoods and healthcare to education, space exploration, and artificial intelligence, the need for inclusive, adaptable, and forward-looking governance models has never been more pressing. This panel discussion aimed to explore how multistakeholderism must evolve to meet the demands of this dynamic landscape. Building on the key takeaways from WSIS+20, the session emphasizes equity, inclusion, and participation across all communities. Furthermore, the panel explores the application of multistakeholder governance to novel and emerging digital infrastructures, such as delay- and fault-tolerant networks like the Interplanetary Internet. These novel domains necessitate rethinking existing models and expanding stakeholder participation to encompass scientific, technological, and ethical perspectives across disciplines.

New Book and Book Launch event - The Web of knowledge (Polity)
by Giota Alevizou 23 Feb '26

23 Feb '26

Dear all, I am delighted to announce the publication of my new book, *The Web of Knowledge* <https://www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?book_slug=the-web-of-knowledge-encyl…>, by Polity, which is now on general release in the UK (e-book and US edition in April). This book has been a long time coming - stitched together across more than two decades of research, reflection and reinvention. Drawing on media studies, science and technology studies, and digital humanities, *The Web of Knowledge* offers a genealogy of encyclopedic authority that speaks directly to contemporary debates about AI, platform governance, and the future of collective knowledge. It is a book about encyclopedias — but also about the changing conditions under which knowledge becomes legitimate, credible, and governable. *You are cordially invited to my **book launch event on 11 March* <https://www.tickettailor.com/events/digitalhumanitieskcl/2063700> from 6.00 pm, followed by drinks. The event takes place at King’s College London (Strand Campus). Registration details/exact location are in the link. The evening will be a conversation about the histories and challenges of current knowledge ecologies. I will be joined by Professor Emerita *Robin Mansell* <https://www.lse.ac.uk/people/robin-mansell> and Professor *Elena Simperl* <https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/elena-simperl>. I'd love to see any UK AoIR-istas there. Please contact me if you'd like any inspection copies, would like a review, or for anything else. — *Praise* "This fascinating genealogy reveals how encyclopedias - commercial and commons-based - influence the authoritative status of knowledge and why epistemic justice and resistance to biases depend on future choices about who controls the production, credibility, and accessibility of knowledge." *Robin Mansell, London School of Economics and Political Science* "This book shows encyclopedias have been reinvented for the digital age - reshaped by new media, changing institutions, and the politics of knowledge. Must-read!" *Jimmy Wales, Wikimedia Foundation *"With the vast amount of information swirling around us, Giota Alevizou's new book is a crucial guide to how knowledge is being assembled, ordered and mediated, and to the profound consequences these structures have for meaning and knowing." *David Beer, University of York *"What happens to knowledge structures in the digital age? This book is timely, authoritative, and important – encyclopaedic in the best sense of the word." *Caroline Bassett, University of Cambridge* =============== *Dr Giota Alevizou | Lecturer in Digital Humanities & Culture* *Programme co-Director *MA in Digital Futures <https://online.kcl.ac.uk/online-masters/digital-futures-ma#:~:text=The%20Di….> Department of Digital Humanities | King’s College London *Profile* <https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/giota-alevizou>* | **BlueSky* <https://bsky.app/profile/giotita.bsky.social>* | **LinkedIn* <https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-giota-alevizou/> *New publications* Alevizou, G.

PhD studentship (2026-), 'Artificial Inequality: AI and its Impact on the UK Creative Industries', University of Manchester
by Sam Hind 23 Feb '26

23 Feb '26

Apologies for x-posting Dear Air-L list members Dave O'Brien, myself, and Riza Batista-Navarro have a PhD studentship opportunity on 'Artifical Inequality: AI and its Impact on the UK Creative Industries' at the University of Manchester, UK. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions, sam.hind(a)manchester.ac.uk. About the Project Inequality in cultural and creative industries (CCIs) is a very well-established issue (e.g. Brook et al 2025). Poor working conditions, uncertain and precarious careers, discrimination and lack of diversity, alongside challenges to funding and business models are all key areas in recent research. These structural issues sit alongside work designed to understand the experiences of creative workers as they navigate these social, economic and cultural conditions. Artificial Intelligence (AI), widely defined, is another new challenge for CCIs. Debates over AI and CCIs, whether as a positive influence on creativity and productivity or questions over IP ownership, threats to sustainable careers, and other negative impacts, are increasingly prominent in the research literature (e.g. Lee 2024, Lee et al 2024). However, AI’s impact on the structural inequalities shaping CCIs is still yet to be settled. Whilst advocates contend that AI will open up new creative opportunities for those within and beyond CCIs, critics argue that AI will only further disrupt UK creative industries operating in a difficult national and global economic climate.. Alongside this, work examining workers’ experiences is also less well-established, despite the speed at which creative AI platforms and features (e.g. Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, Suno) have become part of the wider creative landscape since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022. The potential for research on issues of AI, CCIs and inequality are especially urgent in the UK. The UK’s industrial strategy has highlighted creative industries as one of eight priority sectors. It has also stressed the positive, transformative, impact of AI on the sector. At the same time, inequalities are also an important part of policy for CCIs, suggesting a tension that is underdeveloped in policy thinking, as well as in the literature. Key features of this studentship * Receive a fully funded studentship covering tuition fees and an annual stipend at the UKRI rate (previously 2025/26 £20,780 per year) for 3.5 years. * Research Training and Support Grant (RTSG): £3,000 total over 3.5 years. * CreativeAI studentship methods training and cohort-building activities. Deadline for applications is March 30, 2026. For more details, and how to apply: https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/artificial-inequality-ai-and-its-impa… The project is part of the recently-launched CreativeAI studentships here at Manchester, hosted in the Centre for Digital Humanities, Cultures and Media: https://www.humanities.manchester.ac.uk/study/postgraduate-research/funding… Regards Sam - Sam Hind Lecturer in Digital Media and Culture University of Manchester, UK Centre for Digital Humanities, Cultures and Media

Webinar: Strengthening Gender, Equity and Rights in the East Mediterranean National Digital Health Strategies
by JAVIER GARCIA MARTINEZ 23 Feb '26

23 Feb '26

*Webinar: Strengthening Gender, Equity and Rights in** the East Mediterranean* *National Digital Health Strategies* The World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global Strategy on Digital Health 2020-2025 (now extended to 2027) promotes a more robust digital health governance system, including through the development of national digital health strategies. To successfully operationalise the Global Strategy across territories in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Regional Strategy for Fostering Digital Health in the EMR (2023-2027) encourages the formulation of national digital health strategies aligned with broader national and public health priorities. Today, fifteen out of twenty-one countries in the region have adopted national strategies, with others under way. Our report,* Towards People-centred Digital Health Strategies: Gender, Equity, Rights and Inclusion* <https://digitalhealthandrights.com/news-and-blog/towards-people-centred-dig…>, that reviewed 20 national digital health strategies found that gender equality, human rights, and the needs of marginalised populations were largely overlooked. The Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies (CIM) at the University of Warwick and the event co-sponsors at Health Enabled are hosting this third and final webinar in our series to share insights and practical tools aimed at embedding gender, equity and rights in national digital health strategies throughout the development and implementation processes. *Title: Strengthening Gender, Equity and Rights in National Digital Health Strategies in the East Mediterranean* *Date: *5th March 2026 *Time*: 2:00pm-3:30pm GMT, 4:00pm-5:30pm EET, IST *Where: *Online *Platform:* Microsoft Teams (Link provided upon registration) *Translation* (captions) *available!* *Registration:* *https://forms.office.com/e/f4nCEPGeBc* <https://forms.office.com/e/f4nCEPGeBc> Speakers: - *Arash Rashidian*, Coordinator, Science, Innovation & Data for Impact (SID), WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean - *Ayman Sabae*, Chief Executive Officer, Shamseya - *Tariq El Alaoui*, Love Alliance MENA Consultant/GNP+ - *UNDP* (Speaker TBC) - *Patricia Mechael*, Chief Executive Officer, Health Enabled - *Meg Davis*, Professor, Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies (CIM), University of Warwick; Project Lead, Digital Health and Rights Project - *Tara Imalingat*, Advocacy and Impact Coordinator, Digital Health and Rights Project, CIM, University of Warwick *And please save the date for our hybrid **side event at the **World Health Assembly (WHA)**:* *Promoting Human Rights in Digital Health and AI Strategies: National and Global perspectives* Date: 20 May 2026 Time: 2:00pm-3:30pm GMT Where: Impact Hub, Geneva & Online Registration (online and in-person): *https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/rAahurpV65* <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.clo…> French, Spanish and Vietnamese interpretation will be available online Please register and disseminate this invitation with others who may be interested! *Stay Connected!* Follow us on social media: *X* <https://x.com/DigHealthRights> *LinkedIn* <https://www.linkedin.com/company/digital-health-and-rights-project/?viewAsM…> *Instagram* <https://www.instagram.com/dighealthrightspi?igsh=cWJ0ZzJweGp4aXlm> You can also join *our mailing list* <https://graduateinstitute.us20.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=590ca89241da5db5…>

Silicon Empires. Book Talk with Nick Srnicek, March 4
by Rafael Do Nascimento Grohmann 23 Feb '26

23 Feb '26

Hi AoIR, DigiLabour invites you to this online book talk with Nick Srnicek (King's College) on Silicon Empires: The Fight for the Future of AI, published by Polity. It will take place on March 4, 10 am ET on DigiLabour YouTube Channel. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85Ey_86PocQ After the talk, there will be two discussants: Helena Martins (University of Ceara, Brazil) and David Nieborg (University of Toronto) Description Since the emergence of ChatGPT, generative AI has been heralded as a technology poised to revolutionize our world. But beyond the hype and hyperbole, who truly wields power over this transformative technology? In Silicon Empires, Nick Srnicek explores the geopolitical economy of artificial intelligence, revealing how a handful of powerful corporations and states are engaged in a monumental struggle to control its future. Srnicek moves beyond the headlines to lay bare the elaborate strategies that these silicon empires - from tech giants to great powers - are deploying to capture the immense value of AI. This incisive analysis uncovers the deep-seated tensions between corporate ambitions and national interests, and the profound consequences of this new era of technological competition. As the race for AI supremacy accelerates, Srnicek compellingly demonstrates that the decisions being made in the boardrooms of Silicon Valley and the halls of government will shape the distribution of wealth and power on a global scale for decades to come. best, Rafael -- dr.
