Newly Unclassified NSA Document on Cryptography in the 1970s
This is a newly unclassified NSA history of its reaction to academic cryptography in the 1970s: “New Comes Out of the Closet: The Debate over Public Cryptography in the Inman Era,” Cryptographic Quarterly, Spring 1996, author still classified.
Yeah, but guess what...
Congress has another chance at privacy legislation. It can’t afford to fail again.
CONGRESS RAN out of excuses for its inability to pass a privacy law years ago. Now, some of its members are promising they’ll finally do their jobs — just give them another year and a half.
Inevitable? Humans should not be monitoring everything, it just slows things down. AI systems will determine when human intervention is required. (Let AI do the logistical and tactical “thinking” and toss the strategic questions upstairs.)

The Pentagon Inches Toward Letting AI Control Weapons
LAST AUGUST, SEVERAL dozen military drones and tank-like robots took to the skies and roads 40 miles south of Seattle. Their mission: Find terrorists suspected of hiding among several buildings.
So many robots were involved in the operation that no human operator could keep a close eye on all of them. So they were given instructions to find—and eliminate—enemy combatants when necessary.
… The drill was one of several conducted last summer to test how artificial intelligence could help expand the use of automation in military systems, including in scenarios that are too complex and fast-moving for humans to make every critical decision. The demonstrations also reflect a subtle shift in the Pentagon’s thinking about autonomous weapons, as it becomes clearer that machines can outperform humans at parsing complex situations or operating at high speed.
The world, she is a-changing. Some tough questions to prove the point.
Why Board Directors And CEOs Need To Learn AI Knowledge Foundations: Building AI Leadership Brain Trust Is A Business Imperative: Are You Ready?
In today’s fast paced world, board directors and CEOs have to ensure they are keeping in tune with the fast changing realities of business. In reviewing over 200 board of director compositions on the Fortune 1000, many of them do not have sufficient technology depth and knowledge expertise. The majority have operations knowledge particular in finance, legal and have often held a CEO or high profiled leadership role in a prior company. The major of larger companies all have a technology strategy and risk committee working with their CIO and Cybersecurity or Risk officers, but if you look across the broader board director skill knowledge on the depth of AI and digital transformation leadership skills and solid execution experiences, you will find less relevant and current knowledge know-how.
A bit of education can’t hurt. (Podcast)
Understanding Decision-Driven Analytics
Making decisions with data too often comes down to finding a purpose for the data at hand — not finding the right data. If you want to make good decisions with data, start from the decision you need to make and then ask which data you need to make that decision.
Please join MIT SMR authors Bart de Langhe and Stefano Puntoni as they show how decision-driven data analytics results in better decision-making. They’ll give examples of how data-driven often means answering the wrong question and offer steps for using data in a more effective way.
...and yet, they remain addicted. I don’t worry because I’m completely, totally anti-social.
