### My latest article:

We have a trust issue. In our digital world, it has become increasingly difficult to trust each other. Whether it is another person, an organisation or a device, trust is no longer a given online. This is a serious problem for our society and our democracy. If trust is lacking in society, anarchy can be expected. However, all is not yet lost. Regaining trust in technology is a shared responsibility of universities, organisations and governments and, fortunately, this happens more often now.

### ****Three Useful Nuggets of Information**

*My weekly tips from around the web to get you thinking.*

### 1\. Tokens to rule football; Juventus now has a token.

The future is tokenised and in the future we will see entire organisations become tokenised. Now, for the first time, Juventus is the first football club to have a token that gives its 400 million fans voting power. Would you want to become the coach of your favourite club? ([****The Block**](https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/49038/ronaldos-soccer-club-juventus-now-has-a-token-that-gives-its-over-400m-fans-voting-power?ref=thedigitalspeaker.com))

### 2\. To combat fake news, China new rules.

Chinese regulators have announced new rules governing video and audio content online, including a ban on fake news and deep fakes created with AI and VR. Starting in 2020, such content needs to be clearly marked. ([****VentureBeat**](https://venturebeat.com/2019/11/30/starting-in-2020-china-will-require-videos-created-using-ai-or-vr-to-be-clearly-marked/?ref=thedigitalspeaker.com))

### 3\. Why is AI a threat to democracy?

Can we expect an artificial intelligence catastrophe and if so, is there still any hope that it can be averted? ([****MIT**](https://www.technologyreview.com/s/613010/why-ai-is-a-threat-to-democracyand-what-we-can-do-to-stop-it/?ref=thedigitalspeaker.com))
