UNITED NATIONS, June 10 -- An expert group appointed by the United Nations called on governments, the private sector and civil society, in its first report released Monday, to work together urgently to maximize the benefits and minimize the harms of digital technologies.
The Age of Digital Interdependence, the 20-person panel co-chaired by Melinda Gates and Jack Ma, laid out a set of recommendations toward that end, which included building an inclusive digital economy and society, developing human and institutional capacity, protecting human rights and human agency, promoting digital trust, security and stability, and fostering global digital cooperation.
Particularly, in building an inclusive digital economy and society, the panel recommended that by 2030, every adult should have affordable access to digital networks, as well as digitally-enabled financial and health services.
It also suggested a multi-stakeholder alliance, involving the United Nations, create a platform for sharing digital public goods, and that international organizations promote action on barriers women and marginalized groups face to digital inclusion and digital equality.
On global digital cooperation, the panel suggested an initial goal of marking the United Nations' 75th anniversary in 2020 with a Global Commitment for Digital Cooperation for an improved global digital cooperation architecture, and "as part of this process, we understand that the UN secretary-general may appoint a technology envoy," the report's summary put it.
