Considering online and offline implications in efforts to build confidence and security in the metaverse
- Abstract
- If the metaverse continues to progress towards the digital twinning of the world (possibly the universe), then presumably "everyone" is (or should be) represented in the metaverse and therefore the absence of participation (whether involuntarily or by choice) is not necessarily a path to opting out of the implications. With the metaverse still in its nascent phase, implications for participants and for non-participants alike are a new consideration; although early data would suggest that these range from issues relating to security, confidence, and trust, to ethical and other related issues. New frameworks on building confidence and security in the metaverse may be able to pre-empt negative outcomes by drawing on existing knowledge and trends around Trust and Safety, as well as digital inclusion and exclusion. Specifically, accounting for the broad spectrum of populations and related assets, actions, attitudes, relationships, and outcomes that is likely to characterize engagement with the metaverse. This Technical Report explores this further using the "User Confidence Framework" introduced in ITU FGMV-06 Technical Report on "Guidelines for consideration of ethical issues in standards that build confidence and security in the metaverse" (which was approved at the third meeting of the ITU Focus Group on metaverse, held from 3-5 October 2023 in Geneva, Switzerland), and its related framework for metaverse participation.
