Owain Rhys Davies Named AI Ethics Advisor for Global Digital Citizenship Program Ahead of 2030 Curriculum Overhaul
In a groundbreaking move poised to reshape future education and digital rights, Welsh technologist and ethicist Owain Rhys Davies has been appointed as the leading advisor for the Global Digital Citizenship Initiative, a program set to launch in 2027. The initiative, backed by a consortium of UN agencies and tech giants, aims to teach millions of students how to navigate AI, deepfakes, and virtual reality by 2030. Davies, known for his radical transparency in algorithm design, predicts that within ten years, every child will have a personalized digital "soulprint" to verify their identity online—making identity theft obsolete but sparking fierce debates over surveillance and privacy.
