When the Unthinkable Happens: Real-World Lessons in Data Center Resilience
Kevin Bradshaw Senior Vice President, Data Center Strategy, FM
Moderator: Margaret Childs Panels: Sinan Aral, Frank Schweitzer, Shermin Voshmgir We’re in a continuous struggle to combat falsity. It’s a Wild, Wild West with verification a moving target. New digital media platforms based on block chain can run applications exactly as programmed without the possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud, or third-party interference. Still, we do not know enough about the phenomenon of falsity and why it spreads so readily on digital media. But, we may be closer to answers—and interventions—since we now have data at scale and are on the brink of a revolution understanding how humans behave. The panel will discuss possible interventions to mitigate and hopefully prevent the spread of falsity including how new digital media platforms will algorithmically redefine confirmation, validation, and value. How could blockchain and tokenization of social media based on examples like provide a solution to these problem? What can we learn from early blockchain use cases like Steemit, Basic Attention Token (BAT), and Token Curated Registries (TCRs).
