Buongiorno, sono felice di annunciare la pubblicazione di *Internet et vie privée (en 40 pages)*, piccolo volume disponibile in vari formati e-book (a prezzo assai modico) presso Uppr Editions. Maggiori dettagli disponibili a http://www.uppreditions.fr/livre/978-2-37168-074-6_internet-et-vie-privee/ ed in questo messaggio. Cari saluti, Francesca --- Internet et vie privée (en 40 pages) de Francesca Musiani Uppr Editions, *ISBN* : 978-2-37168-074-6 Explosion du volume des données, développement de l’Internet des objets et de l’intelligence artificielle, naissance d’une ‘gouvernance algorithmique’, valorisation (et détournements) des données personnelles à des fins commerciales et publicitaires, usages mobiles de l’Internet, une surveillance numérique (et pour le numérique) toujours plus intrusive et opaque… Les récents bouleversements de la société et de l’économie numériques s’accompagnent de transformations dans l’exposition et la protection de la vie privée – transformations qui sont à la fois techniques, économiques, sociales et culturelles. Au croisement de la sociologie des techniques et du droit, ce livre explore les récentes évolutions de la vie privée à l’ère du numérique, en dévoilant les multiples tensions dont elle fait l’objet, la diversité de ses définitions et périmètres, la recherche constante d’un équilibre entre tutelle juridique et sauvegardes techniques, surveillance et protection, modèles d’affaires et transparence, droits du consommateur et libertés citoyennes. -- Francesca Musiani (ph.d.) associate research professor (*chargée de recherche*), CNRS, ISCC <http://www.iscc.cnrs.fr/> associate researcher, i3, CSI <http://www.csi.ensmp.fr/>, MINES ParisTech vice-chair, CPT <http://iamcr.org/s-wg/section/cp-t>, IAMCR academic editor, @PolicyR <http://policyreview.info/> on the web <http://www.csi.mines-paristech.fr/People/musiani/> | on twitter <https://twitter.com/franmusiani>

His approach to AI is not inaccurately encapsulated by saying that it is ultimately an attempt to reach Leibniz's dream of a logic so deep and broad and subtle that it can capture all human and machine cognition. Bringsjord is the author of numerous publications, most of which are offered at www.rpi.edu/~brings <www.rpi.edu/%7Ebrings>, where his full (hot linked) cv is available. ABSTRACT - e informazioni supplementari A number of groups across the globe are striving to engineer autonomous robots of today and tomorrow so that they invariably meet their moral and legal obligations. (These groups are motivated by many things, including fear of future malevolent machines with superhuman intelligence that may cause our doom.) When pursued on the basis of Leibniz's ethics, this endeavor is at least exceedingly peculiar. The reason, in a word, is that a truly moral machine, for Leibniz, would be a godly machine. But does it not seem peculiar (if not silly and/or outright sacrilegious) to strive to engineer a godly robot? Yes --- but as a true-blue Leibnizian I'm (for reasons to be explained) forced by the application of logic to do so nonetheless, and examples of such righteous robots are shown, explained, and defended.

Spies for Hire
by Alberto Cammozzo Oct. 24, 2016

Oct. 24, 2016

HOW THE UAE IS RECRUITING HACKERS TO CREATE THE PERFECT SURVEILLANCE STATE <https://theintercept.com/2016/10/24/darkmatter-united-arab-emirates-spies-f…> In July, Simone Margaritelli, an Italian security researcher, boarded a Boeing 777 in Rome headed for Dubai, a city now billing itself as a tech startup hub. He had a big job interview with a new, well-funded cybersecurity company called DarkMatter, whose self-described mission is to “safeguard the most complex organizations,” from government to the private sector, by preventing and fighting malicious cyberattacks and providing secure methods of communication — defensive cybersecurity, rather than offensive, which involves breaking into online systems and devices for espionage or destruction. A friend of a friend had recommended Margaritelli, who was invited to spend five days in the United Arab Emirates at the company’s expense to learn more about the job. When he arrived in Dubai, the City of Gold, he found a full schedule of outings and a deluxe suite at the Jannah Marina Bay Suites hotel. Margaritelli used to be a “blackhat” — a hacker looking to break into electronic systems. Now he works for a mobile security firm called Zimperium, where he still hunts for security flaws but does so to help people fix them. I “break stuff to make the world a safer place,” his website reads. He’s most well known for a portable tool he developed called Bettercap, used to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, where a hacker can eavesdrop or sometimes alter private communications between individuals. When he arrived at the 29th floor of the Marina Plaza for his interview, the company representative described a plan to deploy electronic probes all over major cities in the UAE, which a team of hackers would then break into, guaranteeing access for DarkMatter and its customer — the Emirati government. The mission would be for the “exclusive” benefit of national security, Margaritelli was told. “Imagine that there’s a person of interest at the Dubai Mall, we’ve already set up all our probes all over the city, we press a button and BOOM! All the devices in the mall are infected and traceable,” Margaritelli wrote in a blog post recounting his experience. Margaritelli declined to pursue the job offer. After his post, titled “How the United Arab Emirates Intelligence Tried to Hire Me to Spy on Its People,” began circulating, DarkMatter issued a single terse Twitter reply. The company said it preferred “talking reality & not fantasy.” [...]

HLR: "New Technology on the Block"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Oct. 24, 2016

Oct. 24, 2016

*New Technology on the Block** **Exploring the legal and regulatory implications of the blockchain** * By Michael Fitzgerald, October 10, 2016 n a global economy with increasingly far-flung workforces, companies often need to pay contract workers in other countries. They can do it the conventional way, involving processing an invoice and either cutting a check or collecting and managing direct-deposit data. Along the way, currency has to be converted, meaning a middleman is paid a percentage to make the exchange. Or companies can pay in bitcoin. The payment with the digital currency is immediate, and if the worker lives in a country such as India that has a bitcoin exchange, there are minimal fees to convert. Compared with conventional banking, it is simpler, cheaper and faster. By now, many people are familiar with bitcoin. What’s less well known is the currency’s technological underpinning, the blockchain, an emergent technology that could reshape financial and property markets, and the legal frameworks that support them.

Google Has Quietly Dropped Ban on Personally Identifiable Web Tracking
by Alberto Cammozzo Oct. 24, 2016

Oct. 24, 2016

<https://www.propublica.org/article/google-has-quietly-dropped-ban-on-person…> When Google bought the advertising network DoubleClick in 2007, Google founder Sergey Brin said that privacy would be the company’s “number one priority when we contemplate new kinds of advertising products.” And, for nearly a decade, Google did in fact keep DoubleClick’s massive database of web-browsing records separate by default from the names and other personally identifiable information Google has collected from Gmail and its other login accounts. But this summer, Google quietly erased that last privacy line in the sand – literally crossing out the lines <https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/archive/20160325-20160628/> in its privacy policy that promised to keep the two pots of data separate by default. In its place, Google substituted new language that says browsing habits “may be” combined with what the company learns from the use Gmail and other tools. The change is enabled by default for new Google accounts. Existing users were prompted to opt-in to the change this summer. The practical result of the change is that the DoubleClick ads that follow people around on the web may now be customized to them based on your name and other information Google knows about you. It also means that Google could now, if it wished to, build a complete portrait of a user by name, based on everything they write in email, every website they visit and the searches they conduct.
