Becoming "Net Fiduciaries" with the GLIANet Alliance

Abstract: This seminar will feature a presentation by Richard Whitt (technology policy attorney formerly @ Google, Twilio) and Estefanie Govea (program lead formerly @ Circl.es) to present on their work establishing and building the GLIANet Alliance.

​The goal of the GLIANet Alliance is to better align modern day market, technology, and political institutions with the greater public good. Richard is the author of the book "Reweaving the Web" which proposes creating a new profession of "Net fiduciaries," or tech companies with a legal duty of care, good faith, loyalty & confidentiality to their uses (akin to those of a doctor or lawyer). In turn, these trustworthy entities can arm us with advanced “edgetech,” like authentic personal AI agents which can protect, enhance, and promote our best interests, both online and offline.

​The GLIAnet alliance is a community of practice led by Estefanie comprised of companies working together to put this vision into practice. Through the alliance, companies come together to conduct multidisciplinary research, create educational campaigns, support cross-sector collaborations, and conduct policy advocacy.

​This seminar will be especially relevant to folks working on innovating beyond attention economy business models as well as those interested in more ethical data privacy policies.
