Anticipatory Cybersecurity: Studying Governance Narratives of Technological Innovations to Build a Foundation for a Futures Framework

本研究旨在从预期治理的透镜出发，以沉浸式技术为研究对象，探讨技术与治理之间的关系。包括增强现实（AR）和智能眼镜在内的延展实境（XR）的增长不仅将影响物理世界中的信任、身份、隐私和安全，还将影响虚拟空间中的信任、身份、隐私和安全，这可能会进一步影响虚拟世界的潜力。英国最近宣布了数字和数据战略，主动治理对英国来说是一个机会。因此，这篇定性论文的目的是专门遵循与沉浸式技术相关的政策叙述，重点关注智能眼镜的隐私问题，并概述与数字来世概念相关的身份和数据保护问题。目的是看看是否有可能形成未来的网络安全框架。

This research aims to study the relationship between technology and governance by focusing on immersive technology through an Anticipatory Governance lens. The growth in Extended Reality (XR), including Augmented Reality (AR) and smart glasses, will impact not only trust, identity, privacy and security within the physical world but also in virtual spaces which could have a further effect on the potential of metaverses. Proactive governance is opportune for the UK with its recently announced digital and data strategies. This qualitative thesis has therefore, been designed to specifically follow the policy narratives linked to immersive technologies, focus on privacy concerns of smart glasses, and outline identity and data protection issues related to the concept of digital afterlife. The intention is to see whether it is possible to form a futures cybersecurity framework.
