Experts for Horizon 2020 Advisory Groups: Call for expressions of interest

by Margot.BEZZI＠ext.ec.europa.eu

Cari tutti, attiro la vostra attenzione sulla costituzione di "Experts for Horizon 2020 Advisory Groups: Call for expressions of interest", con deadline 6 Marzo. http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020/index_en.cfm?pg=h2020-experts Importante: proprio per promuovere e sostenere un'idea di ICT non settoriale, ma trasversale alla società e portatrice di un nuovo paradigma di innovazione, è importante che sottolineiate la vostra competenza direttamente nei checkbox di settori specifici (health, innovation in SMEs, energy, transport, environment sustainability, inclusion, ecc...), e non, o non solo, nella parte LEIT (leadership enabling industrial technologies).

Re: [nexa] NYT: "Cambridge, Cabs and Copenhagen: My Route to Existential Risk"

by David Orban

Nella tradizionale competizione tra Oxford e Cambridge, questo centro riprende i temi che già da qualche anno vengono analizzati dall'istituto fondato da Nick Bostrom, la Future of Humanity Institute della Oxford University. http://www.fhi.ox.ac.uk/home Trovo molto rilevante e interessante che i rischi esistenziali, associati non solo a influenze esterne come l'eventuale caduta di una meteora di grandi dimensioni, ma anche quelli di origine tecnologica assieme ai temi del transumanismo, sono sempre più frequentemente discussi sia in ambito accademico che anche politico/economico. L'ultimo rapporto del World Economic Forum, Globarl Risks 2013, contiene un'intera sezione sugli "X-Risks", con miglioramento cognitivo, scoperta della vita aliena e altri elementi ancora di recente propri della fantascienza. http://reports.weforum.org/global-risks-2013/section-five/x-factors/ Sono stato molto positivamente colpito che nel liceo scientifico Natta di Bergamo, frequentato da uno dei miei figli nel percorso di filosofia l'anno scorso hanno dedicato parecchio tempo alla retorica, l'interpretazione della comunicazione scientifica e allo studio dei problemi della bioetica. Quest'anno invece affronteranno la roboetica! http://nattabg.it/Documenti/news/files/POF2010_2011.pdf (Vedi sezione: "Laboratorio della comunicazione scientifica e delle etiche applicate.")

NYT: "Cambridge, Cabs and Copenhagen: My Route to Existential Risk"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

Interessanti riflessioni sui rischi connessi allo sviluppo del digitale (e corrispondente nuovo centro crossdisciplinare a Cambridge). juan carlos Opinionator - A Gathering of Opinion From Around the Web <http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/> The Stone <http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/category/the-stone/> January 27, 2013, 5:00 pm211 Comments <http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/27/cambridge-cabs-and-copenhag…> Cambridge, Cabs and Copenhagen: My Route to Existential Risk By HUW PRICE <http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/author/huw-price/> In Copenhagen the summer before last, I shared a taxi with a man who thought his chance of dying in an artificial intelligence-related accident was as high as that of heart disease or cancer. No surprise if he'd been the driver, perhaps (never tell a taxi driver that you're a philosopher!), but this was a man who has spent his career with computers. Indeed, he's so talented in that field that he is one of the team who made this century so, well, 21st -- who got us talking to one another on video screens, the way we knew we'd be doing in the 21st century, back when I was a boy, half a century ago. For this was Jaan Tallinn, one of the team who gave us Skype. (Since then, taking him to dinner in Trinity College here in Cambridge, I've had colleagues queuing up to shake his hand, thanking him for keeping them in touch with distant grandchildren.) There could be trouble when intelligence escapes the constraints of biology. I knew of the suggestion that A.I. might be dangerous, of course. I had heard of the "singularity," or "intelligence explosion"-- roughly, the idea, originally due to the statistician I J Good (a Cambridge-trained former colleague of Alan Turing's), that once machine intelligence reaches a certain point, it could take over its own process of improvement, perhaps exponentially, so that we humans would soon be left far behind. But I'd never met anyone who regarded it as such a pressing cause for concern -- let alone anyone with their feet so firmly on the ground in the software business.

big data/long data

by gianluca quaglia

Our species can’t seem to escape big data. We have more data inputs, storage, and computing resources than ever, so Homo sapiens naturally does what it has always done when given new tools: It goes even bigger, higher, and bolder.We did it in buildings and now we’re doing it in data. Sure, big data is a powerful lens — some would even argue a liberating one — for looking at our world. Despite its limitations and requirements, crunching big numbers can help us learn a lot about ourselves.But no matter how big that data is or what insights we glean from it, it is still just a snapshot: a moment in time. That’s why I think we need to stop getting stuck only on big data and start thinking about long data.By “long” data, I mean datasets that have massive historical sweep — taking you from the dawn of civilization to the present day. The kinds of datasets you see in Michael Kremer’s “Population growth and technological change: one million BC to 1990,” which provides an economic model tied to the world’s population data for a million years; or in Tertius Chandler’s Four Thousand Years of Urban Growth, which contains an exhaustive dataset of city populations over millennia. These datasets can humble us and inspire wonder, but they also hold tremendous potential for learning about ourselves.Because as beautiful as a snapshot is, how much richer is a moving picture, one that allows us to see how processes and interactions unfold over time? continues http://www.wired.com/opinion/2013/01/forget-big-data-think-long-data/ qgl
