This book explores how digital public infrastructures (DPI) should be governed in the public interest, harnessing their potential to drive innovation, inclusion, and societal progress in the age of supercomputers and generative AI.DPI – from hardware and software to data and networks – are becoming increasingly critical to our economy, society, and daily lives. As the AI revolution unfolds, the governance of these infrastructures is coming under scrutiny, with questions arising about how to balance innovation, access, and the public interest. Examining the potential for DPI to empower citizen-entrepreneurs, researchers, small businesses, and the public sector, the book analyses the legal frameworks governing DPI access. Covering key areas such as AI law, data protection, IP law, and competition law, the book emphasizes the need for inclusive and participatory governance models that prioritize transparency, accountability, and the public good. It offers actionable recommendations for policymakers, businesses, civil society, and researchers to collaborate in shaping the future of DPI governance.The book will be of interest to researchers in the field of digital law, digital governance, and public law.
