Glenn Otis Brown on Bots, Mobs, Geeks: The new separation of powers / Top Secret, XXX, Private, All Rights Reserved [AUDIO]

June 25th, 2011

Glenn Otis Brown — Director of Business Development for Twitter in New York, and an alum of Google, YouTube, Creative Commons, and the Berkman Center among others — presents on two topics.

1) Bots, Mobs, Geeks: The new separation of powers

Are we be ruled by robots? The mob? Technocrats? Yes, yes, and yes. The question is not if, but how — and how we should prevent any one of the three from taking over.

2) Top Secret, XXX, Private, All Rights Reserved

Confidentiality, content regulation, privacy, and copyright are all asking the same question: Who should have access to what kind of expression, and when? Why, then, do we continue talk about them as separate subjects? And what would happen if we approached them as part of a single, unified set of rules? Should organizations like Creative Commons move into offering “privacy licenses”? What can the music industry teach governments about Wikileaks? What can the CIA learn from YouTube?
