France's Economie_Gouv is looking for views on the risks of the metaverse in areas like health, privacy and the environment. jackschickler reports
The government of Emmanuel Macron is seeking views on policy issues like privacy, health and environmental risks of virtual worlds as it seeks to create what it calls"digital sovereignty" for Europe - a frequent code for having homegrown alternatives to U.S. companies such as Meta.
"The immersive virtual worlds of tomorrow can take many forms," said the consultation which is open until May 2, with virtual and augmented reality, game engines and the blockchain technology that underpins cryptocurrency among them. The goal is to"propose an alternative to the virtual online worlds today put forward by international giants."
During his 2022 election campaign, Macron spoke of the need to build a European metaverse, and officials in the European Union are also set to produce an EU strategy on virtual worlds in May. A published last week raised the risk of big"gatekeepers" blocking out competition from smaller players, as well as fundamental rights issues such as openness and equality.
