Self
– “As anxiety around coronavirus increases, more scammers are
taking advantage. While scams can happen any time, many companies
are now preying on people’s fear about contracting COVID-19 and the
financial uncertainty due to job and income loss caused by the virus,
among others. Here’s what you need to know to help protect
yourself from scams related to the Coronavirus. In

New
Trends in Data Subject Requests Reveal a Shifting Landscape for CCPA
Compliance
US
privacy management firm DataGrail has released the findings
of
its investigation into CCPA compliance, revealing how consumer
requests, known as data subject access requests, have shaped up over
the course of the first quarter 2020.
The
data subject access requests break up into three distinct
categories—deletion requests, do-not-sell requests, and access
requests.
… DataGrail’s
study revealed, among other things, that while consumers currently
care most about having their data deleted at present, do-not-sell
requests will likely become the most dominant privacy request based
on early trending data, and play a more significant role for firms
seeking to meet CCPA compliance standards.
We
already have plenty of examples of “undue reliance.” Why would
AI make a significant change?
When
machines think for us: consequences for work and place
… In
a new paper, we
argue that
the impact of AI on work is not deterministic: it will depend on a
range of issues, including place, educational levels, gender and,
perhaps most importantly, government policy and firm strategy.
First,
we challenge the commonly held assumption that the effects of AI on
work will be homogeneous across a country.
…
Secondly,
education matters.
…
Thirdly,
it appears men’s
jobs are
currently more vulnerable to automation—especially those requiring
lower educational attainment, since these tend to be routine
industrial tasks amenable to mechanisation.
…
Fourthly,
the consequences of AI on work will depend, crucially, on policy and
the firm.
I
would like this to be possible, but I’m not sure it is. Can they
enforce a law that relies on technologies that do not exist?
France
to force web giants to delete some content within the hour
Social
networks and other online content providers will have to remove
paedophile and terrorism-related content from their platforms within
the hour or face a fine of up to 4% of their global revenue under a
French law voted in on Wednesday.
For
other “manifestly illicit” content, companies such as Facebook,
Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and Snapchat will have 24 hours to remove
it, according to the law, which sets up a specialised digital
prosecutor at the courts and a government unit to observe hate speech
online.

Gartner
Predicts IT Spending Will Plummet By $300 Billion In 2020 As CIOs
Slash Budgets
Gartner
says it thinks global tech spending will drop 8% in 2020 based on
what it is hearing from tech suppliers and other sources. It’s
forecasting that $3.46 trillion will be spent on IT products and
services this year by businesses and consumers, down from $3.76
trillion in 2019.
… The
research firm, which isn’t betting on a rapid V-shaped economic
recovery, reckons IT spending in some of the worst hit sectors such
as airlines and hotels could take more than three years to rebound to
2019 levels.
