*Abstract:* Cloud computing is not just for computing anymore: you can now
find as much human mindshare as you can afford out in the cloud, too. A new
range of projects is making the application of human brainpower as
purchasable and fungible as additional server rackspace. What are some of
the issues arising as armies of thinkers are recruited by the thousands and
millions?

*Biography*:  Jonathan Zittrain is Professor of Law at Harvard Law School
and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, Professor of Computer Science
at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and co-founder
of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society.  His research interests
include battles for control of digital property and content, cryptography,
electronic privacy, the roles of intermediaries within Internet
architecture, human computing, and the useful and unobtrusive deployment of
technology in education.

He performed the first large-scale tests of Internet filtering in China and
Saudi Arabia, and now as part of the OpenNet Initiative he has co-edited a
series of studies of Internet filtering by national governments: "Access
Denied," "Access Controlled," and “Access Contested.”

He is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Internet Society, the Board
of Directors of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and the Board of
Advisors for *Scientific American.  *His book "The Future of the Internet
-- And How to Stop It" is available from Yale University Press and Penguin
UK -- and under a Creative Commons license.  Papers may be found at <
