Eigentlich hätte am kommenden Samstag, 17. Dezember 2022, die zweite Runde der Würzburger Turmmusik stattfinden sollen, die vom Institut für Musikforschung der Universität Würzburg organisiert wird. Mitglieder des Philharmonischen Orchesters Würzburg hätten dann ab 16.30 Uhr adventliche und weihnachtliche Kompositionen von der Balustrade des Turms der Neubaukirche in Richtung Innenstadt gespielt.

This post is authored by Ishita Tulsyan and Navdha Sharma. The introduction of The Criminal Procedure (Identification) Act, 2022 ( ‘the Identification Act’) raised several surveillance and privacy concerns.

Given the data-intensive nature of approaches such as machine learning, and the increasing ubiquity of AI in everyday products and services, there is a growing interest within the privacy community to understand its implications. At the same time, a tremendous amount of innovation and entrepreneurship in the AI space is emerging from Asia to address local challenges.
We’ve had balcony concerts. Livestreams. Pots and pans banging. And clapping. (So much clapping). But we continue to ask: what next?
What happens when the music stops, but the surveillance doesn’t? When bands return to stadiums, but emergency powers don’t return to the statute books? When the ‘new normal’ becomes the same old scope creep? When beaches reopen, but migrant worker dorms don’t?

The Hub launched our two-part series, The Next Digital Decade: Case Studies from Asia, in 2021 to trace the impact of the internet on society, politics, and life in Asia with a unique emphasis on pandemic-era changes and issues from 2020-2021.
The Ethics of Digitalisation: From Principles to Practice advances dialogue and action at the intersection of science, politics, digital economy, and civil society. Digitalization efforts are rapidly proliferating across sectors, prompting new and large-scale ethical challenges that arise from technological development and deployment that have important rights and justice implications.
India is on the path of rapid digitisation of its public service delivery infrastructure, ostensibly building on the country’s history of encouraging Open Source Software (OSS) use by the government. If built in a sustainable, rights respecting manner, on principles of openness, transparency, and accountability, digital public infrastructure can be immensely useful, and help reduce inequality in access to government services.

Dass Fußballdeutschland mit dem zweiten WM-Vorrundenaus einer DFB-Elf in Folge – 2018 übrigens noch eine unrühmliche Prämiere für den vierfachen Weltmeister – nicht zufrieden ist, wird niemanden überraschen. Entsprechend einig sind sich hier auch die über 3500 Teilnehmenden der jüngsten Umfrage, bei der Professor Harald Lange vom Instituts für Sportwissenschaft an der Julius-Maximilians-Universität (JMU) Würzburg die Voting-App FanQ erneut als Experte unterstützt hat.
