Che infinita tristezza. Era una persona meravigliosa da tutti i punti di vista. Aveva accettato - benché già in difficoltà - di fare lui la lezione conclusiva del Festival della Tecnologia che faremo a Torino a novembre, ma purtroppo non ce l'ha fatta.

Yet even some scholars who think the San Diego-based psychologist is wrong about the political impact of search engines — he believes bias built into Google’s processes could have cost Republicans three California congressional districts in the last election — have started paying attention to his detailed work on how voters respond to tens of thousands of search results. At a moment when misinformation about search engines and social media bias is rampant, with both the left and the right amplifying unsupported claims, Epstein is asking the right questions, they say, about the unseen power of algorithms and how little most Americans understand about the way they work [...] https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-google-search-bias-elections-201…

*Duecento tra le principali aziende di Wall Street e colossi finanziari - da Jp Morgan ad Amazon, da BlackRock a General Motors - hanno reso pubblico un documento in cui sostengono che per creare valore di lungo periodo, le aziende non devono solo portare dividendi ai propri azionisti, costi quel che costi.* Una notizia ed un commento apparentemente lontano dai nostri temi, ma credo invece significativo rispetto al governo della tecnologia, al suo futuro ed alla democraticità dell'intero sistema.
