Sept. 27, 2018

È già stato presentato a Nexa, ma non ho mai parlato direttamente di Software Heritage su questa lista. Colgo quindi l'occasione della pubblicazione di un nostro articolo su Communications of the ACM per segnalarvi il progetto: Jean-François Abramatic, Roberto Di Cosmo, Stefano Zacchiroli Building the Universal Archive of Source Code https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2018/10/231366-building-the-universal-archiv… (L'articolo non sembra essere paywalled, ma c'è comunque una camera ready di backup qui: https://upsilon.cc/~zack/research/publications/cacm-2018-software-heritage.…) Per saperne di più sul progetto potete dare un'occhiata al sito https://www.softwareheritage.org/ e all'archivio vero e proprio qui https://archive.softwareheritage.org/ . Non abbiamo ancora pubblicato un vero articolo *tecnico* sul progetto, ma il paper iPres 2017 contiene parecchie informazioni su architettura e approccio: https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01590958v1 E ovviamente potete chiedere a me se volete saperne di più :-) A presto, -- Stefano Zacchiroli . zack(a)upsilon.cc . upsilon.cc/zack . . o . . . o . o Computer Science Professor .

Report Infosfera dell'università Sr. Orsola Benincasa
by don Luca Peyron Sept. 26, 2018

Sept. 26, 2018

Carissimi, forse avete già letto, forse no, il rapporto conferma alcune intuizioni che su questa list abbiamo già condiviso e che spesso sono oggetto di dibattito anche sui giornali. Sottolineo un dato, da educatore, che è il bisogno sempre più impellente di intergenerazionalità e di educazione di cui abbiamo bisogno, analogici e digitali, rispetto al mondo che ci circonda. Buona lettura don luca https://www.unisob.na.it/eventi/pdf/20180720.pdf _________________________ www.universitari.to.it via XX settembre 83, Torino tel. 011 5156239

Report (Harvard): "Artificial Intelligence & Human Rights"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Sept. 26, 2018

Sept. 26, 2018

* **Artificial Intelligence & Human Rights* /Opportunities & Risks// / Published Tuesday, Sep 25, 2018 https://cyber.harvard.edu/publication/2018/artificial-intelligence-human-ri… Artificial intelligence (“AI”) is changing the world before our eyes. The promise of AI to improve our lives is enormous. AI-based systems are already outperforming medical specialists in diagnosing certain diseases, while the use of AI in the financial system is expanding access to credit to borrowers that were once passed by. Yet AI also has downsides that dampen its considerable promise. AI-based systems impact the right to privacy since they depend on the collection and use of vast quantities of data to make predictions which, in numerous cases, have served to perpetuate existing social patterns of bias and discrimination. These disturbing possibilities have given rise to a movement seeking to embed ethical considerations into the development and deployment of AI. This project, on the other hand, demonstrates the considerable value in using human rights law to evaluate and address the complex impacts of AI on society. Human rights law provides an agreed set of norms and a shared language and institutional infrastructure for helping to ensure that the promises of AI are met and its greatest perils are avoided. Our project seeks to advance the emerging conversation on AI and human rights by evaluating the human rights impacts of six current uses of AI. Our framework recognizes that AI systems are not being deployed against a blank slate, but rather against the backdrop of social conditions that have complex pre-existing human rights impacts of their own. By digging deep into current AI implementations, we see how they impact the full range of human rights guaranteed by international law, privacy chief among them. We also gain insight into the unequal distribution of the positive and negative impacts of AI on human rights throughout society, and begin to explore the power of the human rights framework to address these disparate impacts. /Explore our interactive tool that maps the human rights impacts of the current deployment of AI systems in six different fields: Criminal Justice, Access to Financial Systems, Healthcare, Education, Online Content Moderation, and Human Resource Management./

A cosa serve il GDPR?
by Marco Ciurcina Sept. 25, 2018

Sept. 25, 2018

Per esempio, a farci sapere dove sono i server di Google https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/index.html Mi rendo conto che questo destabilizza chi ha fede nel "Cloud" come quel luogo indefinito e misterioso che risponde miracolosamente ai nostri bisogni.. Insomma: il GDPR ci costringe a rivolgere la nostra sete di mistero in altre direzioni. :-) m.c.

Facebook failing to protect moderators from mental trauma, lawsuit claims
by Alberto Cammozzo Sept. 25, 2018

Sept. 25, 2018

<https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/sep/24/facebook-moderators-ment…> Contractors ‘irreparably traumatized’ by having to witness child abuse, rape, torture, suicide and murder, says former employee A former Facebook contract employee has lodged a suit against the company, alleging that content moderators who face mental trauma after reviewing distressing images on the platform are not being properly protected by the social networking giant. Facebook moderators under contract are “bombarded” with “thousands of videos, images and livestreamed broadcasts of child sexual abuse, rape, torture, bestiality, beheadings, suicide and murder”, the lawsuit said. “Facebook is ignoring its duty to provide a safe workplace and instead creating a revolving door of contractors who are irreparably traumatized by what they witnessed on the job,” Korey Nelson, a lawyer for former Facebook contract employee Selena Scola, said in a statement Monday.
