Big tech has reaped the rewards of global digital transitions, gaining a collective £2.7 trillion during the pandemic. Far from simply being large players, major digital platforms are restructuring digital capitalism itself, where the stakes are not simply about competitiveness but who actually shapes and owns our future digital selves. This talk explores how a better understanding of who owns key digital resources and infrastructure can help to disentangle digital value creation from digital value extraction.
What is the value of data? Who is entitled to the value that data helps to create? How do different ownership arrangements for data and digital infrastructure limit digital futures?
This talk is chaired by IIPP Director, Mariana Mazzucato, and will be joined by Shoshana Zuboff (Harvard Business School) and Tim O’Reilly (O’Reilly Media).
The talk is funded by the Omidyar Network as part of the ‘Who owns what and why?’ IIPP event series.
