SUMMARY:Creating values on the way to the metaverse: Foundation Metaverse Europe Expert Symposium in Brüssel
DESCRIPTION:The advantages and potentials of metaverse\, AI and immersive technologies for medium-sized companies and Enterprises are obvious. Nevertheless\, there are justified concerns\, for example regarding IT security\, transparency\, algorithmic discrimination and digital overload. Many companies also lack a clear understanding of the economic benefits of such applications. \n\n\n\nIn this context\, questions arise regarding ethical guidelines and landmarks on the way to the metaverse. \n\n\n\n\nHow can the metaverse and AI increase the efficiency and economic stability of companies in global competition?\n\n\n\nHow can it be ensured that these innovations on the path to the metaverse comply with the principles of business ethics?\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAnswering these questions is crucial to encourage management councils in corporate and medium-sized companies to integrate immersive technologies into their operations and to promote the acceptance of such future-oriented technologies among employees. \n\n\n\nThe aim of the event is to discuss these issues and develop concrete solutions. In a subsequent discourse phase\, hybrid exchange formats\, networking events\, blog posts and further editorial inputs will be established. Experts\, entrepreneurs\, users and political actors will be given the opportunity to exchange views on the participatory and ethical design of immersive media on the way to the metaverse\, and to provide or find orientation. Recommendations for action will be formulated together and practical examples will be made tangible. \n\n\n\nAgenda:  \n\n\n\n9:30 Admission / Café and small breakfast \n\n\n\n9:50 Welcome: Maren Courage\, Director Foundation Metaverse Europe\, Daniela Theisinger\, Managing Director Deutsche Telekom\, Global Business Solutions Belgium NV/SA \n\n\n\n10:00 Keynotes \n\n\n\n\n„Digital Sovereignty“ – Axel Voss\, MEP\, EPP spokesperson on the Committee on Legal Affairs (JURI)\, focus on digital policy \n\n\n\n „EU strategy to lead on Web 4.0 and virtual worlds“ – Rehana Schwinninger-Ladak\, Head of Unit DG Connect\, European Commission\n\n\n\n “Virtual Environments\, Real Responsibilities: Safeguarding Fundamental Rights in XR“ – Emmie Hine\, University of Bologna \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n10:40 Thematic Workshop \n\n\n\n\nParticipants divided into two groups.
