The metaverse does not exist, yet policymakers in the EU and South Korea, for example, have drafted strategies, made significant investments, and already debated potential rules. However, the technologies, platforms, and tools to make these virtual worlds are already in wide use. In this webinar, Shannon Pierson of the Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy, Cambridge University, will present her report on potential harms in the metaverse and how they can be addressed. Pierson focuses on the key technology –extended reality (XR) examining related issues of governance, human rights, and cybersecurity. Dr. Louis Rosenberg, XR pioneer and CEO of Unanimous AI, will comment on the paper and then, as always, we will open it up for audience questions.
