• Title: Digital Sovereignty Strategies for Every Nation
• Authors: Ali Shoker
• Abstract summary: We revisit the definition and scope of digital sovereignty through extending it to cover the entire value chain of using, owning, and producing digital assets. We show that digital sovereignty by autonomy is often impossible, and by mutual cooperation is not always sustainable. We propose a digital sovereignty agenda for different country's digital profiles, based on their status quo, priorities, and capabilities.

• Abstract: Digital Sovereignty must be on the agenda of every modern nation. Digital technology is becoming part of our life details, from the vital essentials, like food and water management, to transcendence in the Metaverse and Space. Protecting these digital assets will, therefore, be inevitable for a modern country to live, excel and lead. Digital Sovereignty is a strategic necessity to protect these digital assets from the monopoly of friendly rational states, and the threats of unfriendly Malicious states and behaviors. In this work, we revisit the definition and scope of digital sovereignty through extending it to cover the entire value chain of using, owning, and producing digital assets. We emphasize the importance of protecting the operational resources, both raw materials and human expertise, in addition to research and innovation necessary to achieve sustainable sovereignty. We also show that digital sovereignty by autonomy is often impossible, and by mutual cooperation is not always sustainable. To this end, we propose implementing digital sovereignty using Nash Equilibrium, often studied in Game Theory, to govern the relation with Rational states. Finally, we propose a digital sovereignty agenda for different country's digital profiles, based on their status quo, priorities, and capabilities. We survey state-of-the-art digital technology that is useful to make the current digital assets sovereign. Additionally, we propose a roadmap that aims to develop a sovereign digital nation, as close as possible to autonomy. Finally, we draw attention to the need of more research to better understand and implement digital sovereignty from different perspectives: technological, economic, and geopolitical.

  The historical distinction between the digital and the non-digital becomes increasingly blurred. Just as the ideas of online or being online have become anachronistic as a result of our always-on smartphones and tablets and widespread wireless networking technologies, so too the term digital perhaps assumes a world of the past.

  Building future wireless systems that support services like digital twins (DTs) is challenging to achieve through advances to conventional technologies like meta-surfaces. While artificial intelligence (AI)-native networks promise to overcome some limitations of wireless technologies, developments still rely on AI tools like neural networks. This paper revisits the concept of AI-native wireless systems, equipping them with the common sense necessary to transform them into artificial general intelligence (AGI)-native systems.

• Understanding Digital Government Transformation [0.0]
  This research focuses on the digitalisation of governments, their challenges, and success factors. It is found that government faces difficulties in formulating strategies, proper planning, execution strategies, and a lack of organised information and expertise. Success can be achieved by working on capabilities of the future workforce, creating leaders for tomorrow, generating digitalisation capabilities, and bringing a purpose-driven digitalisation before digital government transformation.

• From Digital Divide to Digital Justice in the Global South: Conceptualising Adverse Digital Incorporation [0.0]
  The connection between digital and inequality has traditionally been understood in terms of the digital divide or of forms of digital inequality whose core conceptualisation is exclusion. This paper argues that, as the global South moves into a digital development paradigm of growing breadth and depth of digital engagement, an exclusion worldview is no longer sufficient. The paper argues the need for a new concept: "adverse digital incorporation", meaning inclusion in a digital system that enables a more-advantaged group to extract disproportionate value from the work or resources of another, less-advantaged group.

  This work explores the various DT features and current approaches, the shortcomings and reasons behind the delay in the implementation and adoption of digital twin. The major reasons for this delay are the lack of a universal reference framework, domain dependence, security concerns of shared data, reliance of digital twin on other technologies, and lack of quantitative metrics.
