Report: "Using regulation as a last resort?"
by J.C. DE MARTIN
La 'self-regulation' funziona?
Secondo questo report (pare il primo del suo genere)
no, nell'82% dei casi la 'self-regulation' _non_ funziona.

Re: [nexa] Guardian: "Robot revolution: rise of 'thinking' machines could exacerbate inequality"
by Guido Noto La Diega
Il report mi sembra un po' semplicistico, ci sono milioni di persone
(anziani e non) che non possono permettersi cure e assitenza e che
beneficerebbero dell'abbattimento dei costi. I robot sarebbero quindi
forieri di uguaglianza e solidarieta', da questa prospettiva. Io penso che
i lavori si evolveranno in modi imprevedibili e, se mai i robot saranno in
grado di sostituirci in tutti i mestieri, vorra' dire semplicemente che
vivremo senza lavorare (sono pronto al sacrificio) o che saremo
schiavizzati per i lavori che i robot non vorranno fare (ma questo vorrebbe
dire antropomorfizzare i robot)

EDRI: "Launch of the EU Internet Forum – behind closed doors and without civil society"
by J.C. DE MARTIN
Dal 5 agosto, mi era sfuggito.
Qualcuno ha per caso aggiornamenti?
jc
https://edri.org/launch-of-the-eu-internet-forum-behind-closed-doors-and-wi…
Launch of the EU Internet Forum – behind closed doors and without
civil society
<https://edri.org/launch-of-the-eu-internet-forum-behind-closed-doors-and-wi…>
By Kirsten Fiedler
The European Commission has confirmed to EDRi that it is preparing to
partner with US online companies in order to plan the arbitrary
monitoring and censorship of European citizens and, contrary to previous
assurances, will exclude civil society from these discussions. More
disturbingly, this is happening at the same time as the US is preparing
the “Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act” (CISA), which grants US
companies a “safe harbour” from liability for any damage they cause when
enacting counter-measures against security risks.
Last monthwe reported
<https://edri.org/eu-commission-rebrand-failed-cleanit-project/> that,
from time to time, the European Commission launches talks with the
Internet industry to encourage companies to take “voluntary” action to
fight against allegedly illegal or unwanted online activity. Very often,
however, these projects seem to be launched or financed without any
consideration for lessons learned from past (and mostly failed)
enforcement initiatives. Take, for example, theCleanIT project
<https://edri.org/rip-cleanit/>, which proposed that online companies
should prevent anonymous use of online services, implement automated
detection systems and remove content on the simple request of law
enforcement authorities “without following the more labour-intensive and
formal procedures for ‘notice and action’”.
In March 2015, a European Union document on the “fight against
terrorism” (pdf
<http://www.statewatch.org/news/2015/mar/eu-council-cosi-terrorism-riga-stat…>) charged
the Commission with the creation of a “Forum with the Internet service
providers community” in order to contribute to Europol’s work (even
though this project had beenlaunched a year earlier
<http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_STATEMENT-14-304_en.htm>). Since
then, no information has been made public as regards the progress of
this “EU Internet Forum”.
Obviously, we wanted to know more and sent an “access to documents”
request to the European Commission.In May, the Commission responded
<https://edri.org/eu-commission-rebrand-failed-cleanit-project/>, claiming
that no documents existed since the forum was not set up at the time of
our request. A couple of exchanges and months later, the Commission sent
us some – not all – of the requested documents. We received:
* The response from the
Commission:https://edri.org/files/ForumISPs_reply_Fiedler_2015-3658.pdf
* The report of the preparatory meeting on 7 May
2015:https://edri.org/files/ForumISPs_report_meeting_20150507.pdf
* The draft agenda for a preparatory meeting on 7 May
2015:https://edri.org/files/ForumISPs_meeting_20150507.pdf
* The invitation for the first awareness raising meeting to prepare
the launch of the Internet Forum 24
July:https://edri.org/files/ForumISPs_Invitation_awareness_raising_20150724…
* The draft agenda 24
July:https://edri.org/files/ForumISPs_Agenda_awareness_raising_20150724.pdf
These documents reveal that the Commission organised two meetings of the
Forum to prepare the official launch of the EU Internet Forum scheduled
for the end of the year. These preparatory meetings took place on 27 May
and 24 July. Companies were invited to discuss “challenges and scope of
engagement in countering online terrorism activity” by, for example,
“reducing accessibility” and by challenging “the terrorist narrative
online”. An earlier Communication on the EU’s Agenda on Security also
stated the objective to explore “the concerns of law enforcement
authorities on new encryption technologies” (pdf
<http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/home-affairs/e-library/documents/basic-documents/do…>).
Among the planned activities of the forum are awareness-raising
activities for Member States, training sessions and workshops, as well
as “reaching out to smaller companies” to enable them to respond to
removal requests. A preparatory meeting took place on 27 May and a
meeting to “raise awareness” on 24 July.
Despite the fact that the European Agenda on Security initially
announced the launch of this “EU-level Forum with IT companies to bring
them together with law enforcement authorities*and civil society*”
(emphasis added), we learn from the documents that the Commission did
not contact any civil society groups to take part since “it does not
directly communicate with community groups or citizens”. The Commission
does not explain further why only industry was invited while human
rights organisations and NGOs in the field of information technology
were ignored. It seems the idea to have civil society on board has been
dropped entirely. However, the Commission refers tolinks on the website
of the Radicalisation Awareness Network
<http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/home-affairs/what-we-do/networks/radicalisation_awa…>–
apparently in the hope that this would be sufficient to make citizens
aware of DG Home’s activities.
In its reply to us, the Commission unfortunately refused to grant us
access to preparatory documents of the Forum as it considers that this
“could seriously undermine the ability of the Commission and other
involved stakeholders to freely exchange their views concerning actions
and initiatives to be taken within the IT Forum”. It is clear that
discussions regarding activities by online services will directly affect
the communications of their customers and therefore ultimately have an
impact on citizen’s fundamental right to the freedom of expression.
However, human rights organisations and experts in the field of
information technologies from academia or civil society do not seem to
be considered to be “relevant stakeholders” nor even “interested parties”.
The Commission also argues that it wants to remain “free from external
pressure” to explore potential policy options, but some policy options
seem already decided, such as including the issue of “detection and
removal” of alleged terrorist material (meeting report 7 May) in the
upcoming meetings. The EU’s Home Affairs Commissioner
DimitrisAvramopoulos is now planning a trip to Silicon Valley
<http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_SPEECH-15-5342_en.htm>to discuss
the upcoming launch of the EU Internet Forum – with US service providers.
It is strange that the Commission wishes to remain “free to consider all
policy options” while at the same time asking US businesses how online
communications should be regulated in Europe. It is even more
kafkaesque, when these same US businesses are about to receive
near-blanket immunity for activities covered by the draft CISA. This
draft Bill grants two new powers to US companies allowing them to launch
countermeasures to “cybersecurity threats” and to monitor information
systems. The Bill gives immunity to companies for these monitoring
activities and whenever they wish to share private data of their
customers (including EU customers) with US government agencies – with
wide-ranging protection from liability for any damage that they may
cause in the process. EDRi-members EFF and Access as well as Fight for
the Future are currently campaigning
<https://www.stopcyberspying.com/>to stop this fatally flawed Bill.
This is a disturbing approach by the US government because, until now,
online intermediaries have had little interest in adopting law
enforcement roles due to unclear legal protections (“safe harbours”)
offered to them in cases where their networks are used for illegal
activities. Ever since the failed Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) three
years ago, the US government has been attempting to change this situation.
In Europe, Member States have the obligation to respect the Charter of
Fundamental Rights. However, if measures are applied “voluntarily” by
private companies, governments’ obligations under the Charter are not
active.Many case studies have shown
<https://edri.org/files/EDRI_CoE.pdf>, private companies limiting
fundamental rights in the online space continue, flouting the principle
that restrictions on civil and human rights must be based on law
(Articles 8 and 10, European Convention on Human Rights; Article 52,
European Charter of Fundamental Rights and Article 19, International
Convention on Civil and Political Rights).
To avoid another failed project pushing for a privatised law enforcement
activities through online service providers, we believe that the
Commission should seek expert input to examine whether and how
regulation of the European online space by US companies has an impact or
unintended consequences for the fundamental rights of European citizens.
In January, the EU’s Ministers of Interior emphasised the need to
safeguard the Internet, “in scrupulous observance of fundamental
reedoms, [as] a forum for free expression, in full respect of the law.”
We agree. Does the Commission?

Reuters: "U.S. government approves Italy's request to arm its drones"
by J.C. DE MARTIN
Business | Wed Nov 4, 2015 6:38pm EST
*U.S. government approves Italy's request to arm its drones**
*
WASHINGTON | By Andrea Shalal
The U.S. State Department has approved a longstanding request from Italy
to arm its two MQ-9 Reaper drones with Hellfire missiles, laser-guided
bombs and other munitions, the U.S. Defense Department announced on
Wednesday.
This would be the first effective sale of armed drones approved since
the U.S. government established a policy in February for exports of the
new type of weapons that have played a key role in U.S. military actions
in Afghanistan, Iraq and Yemen.

Guardian: "Robot revolution: rise of 'thinking' machines could exacerbate inequality"
by J.C. DE MARTIN
*Robot revolution: rise of 'thinking' machines could exacerbate inequality*
/Global economy will be transformed over next 20 years at risk of
growing inequality, say analysts/
Heather Stewart
Thursday 5 November 2015 00.01 GMT
A “robot revolution” will transform the global economy over the next 20
years, cutting the costs of doing business but exacerbating social
inequality, as machines take over everything from caring for the elderly
to flipping burgers, according to a new study.
As well as robots performing manual jobs, such as hoovering the living
room or assembling machine parts, the development of artificial
intelligence means computers are increasingly able to “think”,
performing analytical tasks once seen as requiring human judgment.
Robot doctors and lawyers? It’s a change we should embrace

NEXA
Martedì 10 novembre 2015, ore 17.00 - 19.00
Via Boggio 65/a, Torino (primo piano)

Artificial Intelligence: Should You Be Worried?
Speaker
Luciano Floridi (University of Oxford)
Prof. Luciano Floridi (University of Oxford & Trustee of the Nexa Center
for Internet & Society (DAUIN)) will discuss:
Artificial agents can outsmart us, outperform us, and replace us in an
increasing number of tasks. Yet the problem is not a dystopian future,
in which some Super-AI will dominate or lives, for this is science
fiction. It is rather how we are going to re-interpret who we are, our
roles in life, and our still exceptional nature in the universe.

Che cosa sono il Centro Nexa e i cicli di incontri Mercoledì di Nexa e
Nexa Lunch Seminar
Il Centro Nexa su Internet & Società del Politecnico di Torino
(Dipartimento di Automatica e Informatica) è un centro di ricerca
indipendente e interdisciplinare che studia Internet e il suo effetto
sulla società. Maggiori informazioni all'indirizzo:
http://nexa.polito.it/about.
Durante i “Mercoledì di Nexa”, che si tengono ogni 2° mercoledì del mese
alle ore 18 in punto, il Centro Nexa su Internet e Società apre le sue
porte non solo agli esperti e a tutti coloro i quali lavorano con
Internet, ma anche a semplici appassionati e cittadini. Il ciclo di
incontri intende approfondire, con un linguaggio preciso ma divulgativo,
i temi legati alla Rete: motori di ricerca, Creative Commons, social
networks, open source/software libero, neutralità della rete, libertà di
espressione, privacy, file sharing, big e open data, smart cities e
molto altro.
Al centro di quasi tutti gli incontri un ospite pronto a dialogare con i
direttori del Centro Nexa, il Prof. Juan Carlos De Martin del
Politecnico di Torino e il Prof. Marco Ricolfi dell'Università di
Torino, nonché lo staff e i Fellows del Centro Nexa.
