Eben Moglen Interviewed by NPR about Boeing Affair
“What we’re looking at in the case of some aerodynamic software taking over for pilots without telling them is an example of why even if you didn’t think this had anything to do with politics, it is still true that systems that don’t explain themselves to human beings who interact with them are dangerous…If we in the 21st century still believe in human autonomy, then we need to put that value into the software that runs our world.” “In the twenty-first century, there will be two kinds of autonomous systems. There will be autonomous systems made by despotism, most noticeably by the Chinese Communist Party’s economy and society. And they will not explain what they are doing because that’s the whole point: eliminating democracy, freedom of human beings, civil liberty as ideas. The only alternative to that kind of autonomous system is whatever we will invent. That is to say it’s a political task from the part of humanity that believes in freedom to build these technologies to support rather than to threaten human freedom.” http://softwarefreedom.org/news/2019/mar/22/npr-boeing/

Concordo, tocca questioni veramente importanti. Ma sono l'unico a notare un certo... "bias"? Un pericoloso punto cieco?

Siamo proprio sicuri che il partito comunista cinese sia l'unico a cui questa frase calzi a pennello?

No. Siamo troppo pochi. L'unica alternativa è l'educazione storica e informatica di massa. (lo so... sono noioso... scusate... :-D) Giacomo
