Artificial intelligence, the
Internet of Things and cyber threats are among the biggest forces that will
impact the internet over the next five to seven years, according to a new
report from the Internet Society, a nonprofit focused on
the open development, evolution and use of the internet. The
organization's 2017 Global Internet Report predicts a
mix of promise and uncertainty as we move toward the digital future, and makes
recommendations for safeguarding the internet for the next generation. The report
identifies six key "drivers of change," emphasizing that the forces
are highly interconnected:
·
The Internet & the Physical World
·
Artificial Intelligence
·
Cyber Threats
·
The Internet Economy
·
Networks, Standards & Interoperability
· The Role of Government
Some of the report's recommendations
include: put users' interests first with respect to their own
data; act now to close digital divides; take a collaborative approach to
security; build strong, secure, resilient networks; address the need for
online social norms; and empower
people to shape their own future.
