https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2023/07/19/cyber-resilience-act-member-states-agree-common-position-on-security-requirements-for-digital-products/
The draft regulation introduces mandatory cybersecurity requirements for the design, development, production and making available on the market of hardware and software products to avoid overlapping requirements stemming from different pieces of legislation in EU member states.

The proposed regulation will apply to all products that are connected either directly or indirectly to another device or network. There are some exceptions for products, for which cybersecurity requirements are already set out in existing EU rules, for example on medical devices, aviation, or cars.

The proposal aims to fill the gaps, clarify the links, and make the existing cybersecurity legislation more coherent by ensuring that products with digital components, for example ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) products, become secure throughout the whole supply chain and throughout their whole lifecycle.

Finally, the proposed regulation also allows consumers to take cybersecurity into account when selecting and using products that contain digital elements by providing users the opportunity to make informed choices of hardware and software products with the proper cybersecurity features.

Le PET, acronimo dell’espressione “Privacy Enhancing Technologies” (Tecnologie di potenziamento della privacy), costituiscono un fenomeno che non è nuovo e risale a metà degli anni ‘90.

Difatti, nel 1995 il titolo di un innovativo rapporto commissionato dal Commissario per l’informazione e la privacy dell’Ontario, in Canada, e dall’Autorità olandese per la protezione dei dati1 conteneva la frase “Privacy-enhancing technologies: the path to anonymity” (Tecnologie per la tutela della privacy: il percorso verso l’anonimato).

PETs, an acronym for the phrase “Privacy Enhancing Technologies,” constitute a phenomenon that is not new and dates back to the mid-1990s.

In fact, in 1995 the title of a groundbreaking report commissioned by the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, Canada, and the Dutch Data Protection Authority1 contained the phrase “Privacy-enhancing technologies: the path to anonymity.”

he Council has today approved the regulation to strengthen Europe’s semiconductor ecosystem, better known as the ‘Chips Act’. This is the last step in the decision-making procedure.

The Chips Act aims to create the conditions for the development of a European industrial base in the field of semiconductors, attract investment, promote research and innovation and prepare Europe for any future chip supply crisis. The programme should mobilise €43 billion in public and private investment (€3.3 billion from the EU budget), with the objective of doubling the EU’s global market share in semiconductors, from 10% now to at least 20% by 2030.

Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights

Among the great challenges posed to democracy today is the use of technology, data, and automated systems in ways that threaten the rights of the American public. Too often, these tools are used to limit our opportunities and prevent our access to critical resources or services. These problems are well documented. In America and around the world, systems supposed to help with patient care have proven unsafe, ineffective, or biased. Algorithms used in hiring and credit decisions have been found to reflect and reproduce existing unwanted inequities or embed new harmful bias and discrimination. Unchecked social media data collection has been used to threaten people’s opportunities, undermine their privacy, or pervasively track their activity—often without their knowledge or consent.

Leaders from the AI research world appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee to discuss and answer questions about the nascent technology. Their broadly unanimous opinions generally fell into two categories: we need to act soon, but with a light touch — risking AI abuse if we don’t move forward, or a hamstrung industry if we rush it.

The panel of experts at today’s hearing included Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei, UC Berkeley’s Stuart Russell and longtime AI researcher Yoshua Bengio.

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most talked-about topics in the business world today.

With its ability to transform entire industries and create new opportunities, AI has the potential to revolutionize the way businesses operate and succeed in Africa and on the global stage.

The AI boom is being fueled by the growing need for new technologies to process and deduce patterns with speed. While automation and AI are altering many facets of the industry, some business owners are concerned about the effects on their company’s future.

Why AI detectors think the US Constitution was written by AI

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/07/why-ai-detectors-think-the-us-constitution-was-written-by-ai/
If you feed America’s most important legal document—the US Constitution—into a tool designed to detect text written by AI models like ChatGPT, it will tell you that the document was almost certainly written by AI. But unless James Madison was a time traveler, that can’t be the case. Why do AI writing detection tools give false positives? We spoke to several experts—and the creator of AI writing detector GPTZero—to find out.

Among news stories of overzealous professors flunking an entire class due to the suspicion of AI writing tool use and kids falsely accused of using ChatGPT, generative AI has education in a tizzy. Some think it represents an existential crisis. Teachers relying on educational methods developed over the past century have been scrambling for ways to keep the status quo—the tradition of relying on the essay as a tool to gauge student mastery of a topic.

As tempting as it is to rely on AI tools to detect AI-generated writing, evidence so far has shown that they are not reliable. Due to false positives, AI writing detectors such as GPTZero, ZeroGPT, and OpenAI’s Text Classifier cannot be trusted to detect text composed by large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT.

Facebook, Instagram face Norwegian ban from tracking users for ads

https://www.politico.eu/article/facebook-instagram-norway-ban-track-users-ads/
Social media giants Facebook and Instagram will soon be temporarily banned in Norway from tracking users online to target them with advertising.

The Norwegian Data Protection Authority ordered U.S. technology firm Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, to stop showing users in Norway personalized ads based on their online activity and estimated locations. The ban kicks in from August, according to an order obtained exclusively by POLITICO and sent to Meta on July 14.

Meta’s advertising practice on Facebook and Instagram currently involves the “processing of very private and sensitive personal data through highly opaque and intrusive monitoring and profiling operations,” wrote Norway’s Datatilsynet agency.

The ban on so-called behavioral advertising will last three months, starting from August 4. Facebook and Instagram will be able to show people customized ads but only based on information given by users in the “about” section of their profiles.

On 21 June 2023, following an inquiry concerning a complaint received against Airbnb Ireland UC (Airbnb), the Data Protection Commission (DPC) adopted a decision.

The DPC commenced this inquiry on 4 March 2022, on foot of a complaint that Airbnb had unlawfully requested a copy of the complainant’s ID (ID) in order to verify their identity which had not been previously requested by Airbnb. The complainant further contended that this went against the principles of data minimisation and that Airbnb had also failed to comply with the principles of transparency and provision of information. Initial attempts by the complainant to verify their identity had been rejected by Airbnb as the ID provided did not meet their criteria. Ultimately the complainant verified their identity.

L’intelligenza artificiale (IA) continua a trovare successo in una vasta gamma di settori, questo trionfo è direttamente collegato alla necessità imperativa di garantirne la sicurezza. L’Adversarial Machine Learning (ML) è un insieme di tecniche che gli avversari utilizzano per attaccare i sistemi di apprendimento automatico. Conoscere questa disciplina è fondamentale per comprendere e valutare i potenziali rischi a cui i sistemi di IA sono sottoposti da azioni avverse di attaccanti malintenzionati.
