Course detail
FaVU-2CP2PAcad. year: 2021/2022
In the form of lecture inputs and hands-on workshops, the teaching will focus on a) exploring the socio-economic context of digital infrastructures emerging with the development of the platform economy and other variations of the "sharing economy" and b) introducing "commons-based" models that hold the promise of healthier, more emancipated forms of collaboration and approaches to handling personal data. We will begin the course with an overview and mapping of current technological and economic trends against which pressing issues around privacy, digital identity and data arise. A key theme will be the triangle of tension between privacy, security and economic interests. We will touch on some of the hot topics of the moment (surveillance capitalism, ethics of data trading, centralization of digital identity, etc.), and look at the background and technologies of the emerging decentralization trend (Web3.0, blockchain, etc.), including possible negative externalities.The second part of the course will focus on alternative approaches and possible solutions to prevent or minimize the outlined problems. We situate the exploration within the socio-economic framework of the so-called "P2P commons transition" concept elaborated by (Bauwens, 2019). However, we will also refer to other related approaches such as Sharing Cities (Shareable, 2018). Along these lines, we will then revisit questions related to issues of personal data, trust and digital identity. We will touch upon concepts such as Self-Sovereign Digital Identity (SSI), Generative Digital Identity (GDI), interpersonal data, data commons, Webs of Trust (WoT) and others. In the practical part we will elaborate possible dystopian scenarios of adoption of these technologies and ways to prevent them. In order to integrate the acquired knowledge, we will conclude the course by analyzing concrete existing examples and solutions and using a design approach to elaborate initial answers to the question "What specifically can we start doing?".
