What are important ethical principles that should be implemented to protect users in the metaverse and other digital spaces? Jamaican social enterprise, Youth Can Do IT (YCDI), in collaboration with Jesus College (Oxford), developed some ethical guidelines for the metaverse.

In this episode, we chat with members of YCDI Joel Lawson, one of the youths who participated in the ethical guidelines design process, Cherika Wilson, the Head of People Operations, and Christopher Derrell, the Chief Technology Officer, on the metaverse and the guidelines that have been proposed. Key areas our discussion covered include:

* some of the ethical concerns surrounding the metaverse;

* how Project Amplify, the collaboration between Youth Can Do IT and Jesus College (Oxford), came about;

* the main findings of the research; and

* the next steps now that the guidelines have been proposed.

https://bit.ly/4fnDxaKTo the outsider, the internet-related issues that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is addressing can seem intimidating. But individuals, micro or small businesses, among others, are part of the end-user constituency and are critical players in ICANN’s policy development process.

In our latest conversation with Albert Daniels, the Senior Manager for Stakeholder Engagement for the Caribbean, we discuss some of the latest developments in the ICANN Space. Some of the areas covered include:

* what exactly is ICANN and why it is important;

* the Registration Data Request Service and the implications for law enforcement;

* the new generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) Program; and

* how Caribbean countries could benefit from this and other upcoming initiatives.

In this podcast episode, our host, Michele Marius, is alone – no guests – and sharing her thoughts on a recent article published in the New York Times in which the writer allowed AI to make all of her decisions for a week.

The article sent Michele down a rabbit hole (of sorts) and had her ponder whether, in the context of AI, we could have too much of a good thing.
