Pathways to Digital Justice: Whitepaper Launch

Beatrice Di Caro
Lead, Social Media, World Economic Forum

The World Economic Forum’s Global Future Council on Data Policy liaised with the Global Future Council on Media, Entertainment and Sport and the Global Future Council on AI for Humanity to make the case for a new policy framework that effectively addresses issues of justice arising in a range of digital contexts.

This white paper, produced in collaboration with an advisory committee consisting of experts from around the world, is intended to guide policy efforts towards combating data-driven harms. The hope is that legal and judicial systems can then evolve to embed redress mechanisms that enable the creation of a data ecosystem which protects individuals and is accountable to them.

This is a critical first step in articulating the size and scope of the problem of digital access to justice, illustrating concrete examples of harms, and underlining the importance of building mechanisms that enable digital systems to both adapt their practices and provide redress to those harmed. In other words, to build systems capable of providing justice.

Experts and co-authors of this whitepaper convened to discuss critical elements of the white paper, and a potential path forward to effectively resolve this global problem.
