Buona sera
Ho appena finito di leggere
Cyber Threats and Nuclear Weapons https://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=34611
di Herbert Lin; pubblicato dalla Stanford University Press.
Il libro e' stato pubblicato alcune settimane fa; e' molto aggiornato; sebbene focalizzato esclusivamente sulla situazione USA, coglie gli aspetti principali del problema del collegamento fra cyberwar e complesso nucleare---NC3 incluso, ma anche altro---e i rischi di escalation nucleare causata o collegata ad attività nel cyberspace.
Ne suggerisco la lettura. In particolare, ne raccomando la lettura a chi si occupa di armamenti e/o disarmo nucleare e vuole capire la relazione fra questi sistemi di arma e le armi informatiche, ma anche agli informatici che vogliono approfondire questioni legate all'impatto, perfino esistenziale, della tecnologia di loro competenza.
L'autore (https://cisac.fsi.stanford.edu/people/herbert_lin ) e' Senior Research Scholar at the Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC) della Stanford University e Hank J. Holland Fellow in Cyber Policy and Security, Hoover Institution. Collabora con il Bulletin of Atomic Scientists ( https://thebulletin.org/biography/herbert-lin/ ).
Buona lettura e Buon Anno

But if in the process we learn how to achieve it by love rather than by fear, by kindness rather than compulsion; if in the process we learn how to combine the essential with the enjoyable, the expedient with the benevolent, the practical with the beautiful, this will be an extra incentive to embark on this great task. Above all, remember your humanity. -- Sir Joseph Rotblat
I don't quite know whether it is especially computer science or its subdiscipline Artificial Intelligence that has such an enormous affection for euphemism. We speak so spectacularly and so readily of computer systems that understand, that see, decide, make judgments, and so on, without ourselves recognizing our own superficiality and immeasurable naivete with respect to these concepts. And, in the process of so speaking, we anesthetise our ability to evaluate the quality of our work and, what is more important, to identify and become conscious of its end use. […] One can't escape this state without asking, again and again: "What do I actually do? What is the final application and use of the products of my work?" and ultimately, "am I content or ashamed to have contributed to this use?" -- Prof. Joseph Weizenbaum ["Not without us", ACM SIGCAS 16(2-3) 2--7 - Aug. 1986] _______________________________________________ nexa mailing list nexa@server-nexa.polito.it https://server-nexa.polito.it/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nexa
