*The FBI Team Sent to ‘Exploit’ Protesters’ Phones in Portland* /Mattathias Schwartz / The FBI’s Washington, D.C., headquarters sent agents from its “Fly Team,” an elite counterterrorism unit, to Portland this summer during the second weekend in July. Their task was to interview arrested protesters and carry out the “initial exploitation of phones, or other communication devices,” according to FBI emails obtained through a public records request. It is unclear whether the Fly Team operation extended either past that weekend or beyond Portland, but the emails suggest that the FBI has been using counterterrorism tools and powers to map left-wing protest networks just months before an election whose result is likely to be delayed, if not challenged.

AI and Ethics seeks to promote informed debate and discussion of the ethical, regulatory, and policy implications that arise from the development of AI. It will focus on how AI techniques, tools, and technologies are developing, including consideration of where these developments may lead in the future. The journal will provide opportunities for academics, scientists, practitioners, policy makers, and the public to consider how AI might affect our lives in the future, and what implications, benefits, and risks might emerge. Attention will be given to the potential intentional and unintentional misuses of the research and technology presented in articles we publish. Examples of harmful consequences include weaponization, bias in face recognition systems, and discrimination and unfairness with respect to race and gender. Prima uscita e primi pezzi. Buona lettura dl https://www.springer.com/journal/43681 _________________________ don Luca Peyron Direttore Ufficio per la Pastorale Universitaria Arcidiocesi di Torino www.universitari.to.it via XX settembre 83, Torino tel. 011 5156239

Google and Oracle are headed to the Supreme Court. The future of software hangs in the balance.

Netflix’s The Social Dilemma highlights the problem with social media, but what’s the solution?
by Federico Guerrini Oct. 6, 2020

Oct. 6, 2020

Ciao, qualche considerazione attinente alla discussione di poco tempo fa su questa lista: "Filmmaker Jeff Orlowski seems to frame “ethical” platform design <https://theconversation.com/ethical-design-is-the-answer-to-some-of-social-…> as the antidote. While this is an important consideration, it’s not a complete answer. And this framing is one of several issues in The Social Dilemma’s approach.Ethical design considers the moral consequences of the design choices in a platform. It is design made with the intent to ‘do good’. Shutterstock The program also relies uncritically on interviews with former tech executives, who apparently never realised the consequences of manipulating users for monetary gain. It propagates the Silicon Valley fantasy they were just innocent geniuses wanting to improve the world (despite ample evidence <https://medium.com/@rossformaine/i-was-googles-head-of-international-relati…> to the contrary <https://www.wired.com/story/cambridge-analytica-50m-facebook-users-data/>). As tech policy expert Maria Farell suggests, these retired “prodigal tech bros <https://conversationalist.org/2020/03/05/the-prodigal-techbro/>”, who are now safely insulated from consequences, are presented as the moral authority. Meanwhile, the digital rights and privacy activists who have worked for decades to hold them to account are largely omitted from view." (...) In the long run, stemming the flow of personal data to digital platforms will also need legislative change. While legislation can’t fix everything, it can encourage systemic change. In Australia, we need stronger data privacy protections, preferably in the form of blanket legislative protection such as the General Data Protection Regulation implemented in Europe <https://eur-lex.europa.eu/content/news/general-data-protection-regulation-G…> in 2018." https://theconversation.com/netflixs-the-social-dilemma-highlights-the-prob… Ciao, Federico
