Spy used AI-generated face to connect with targets
Katie
Jones sure seemed plugged into Washington’s political scene. The
30-something redhead boasted a job at a top think tank and a
who’s-who network of pundits and experts, from the centrist
Brookings Institution to the right-wing Heritage Foundation. She was
connected to a deputy assistant secretary of state, a senior aide to
a senator and the economist Paul Winfree, who is being considered for
a seat on the Federal Reserve.
But
Katie Jones doesn’t exist, The Associated Press has determined.
Instead, the persona was part of a vast army of phantom profiles
lurking on the professional networking site LinkedIn. And several
experts contacted by the AP said Jones’ profile picture appeared to
have been created by a computer program.

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan recently signed into law House Bill 1154 (the “Bill”), which amends the state’s data breach notification law. Among other obligations, the amendments expand the required actions a business must take after becoming aware of a data security breach.
Under the existing data breach notification law, a business that owns or licenses personal information and becomes aware of a data security breach must conduct a reasonable, prompt and good faith investigation to determine the likelihood that personal information has been or will be misused as a result of the breach. The Bill expands this investigatory requirement to apply expressly to all businesses that own, license or maintain the personal information of Maryland residents.

points:
… based
on the risk of harm, “the owner or licensee of the computerized
data shall notify the individual of the breach.”
… if
the business that incurs the security breach is not the owner or
licensee of personal information, that business may not charge the
relevant owner or licensee for information necessary to carry out the
owner or licensee’s notification obligations under Maryland’s
breach law.

Chapter 2:
Regulating AI and Robotics: Ethical and Legal Challenges
Rapid progress in AI and robotics is challenging
the traditional boundaries of law. Algorithms are widely employed to
make decisions that have an increasingly far-reaching impact on
individuals and society, potentially leading to manipulation, biases,
censorship, social discrimination, violations of privacy and property
rights, and more. This has sparked a global debate on how to
regulate AI and robotics.
The purpose of this introductory chapter is
twofold. First, it outlines some of the most urgent ethical and
legal issues raised by the use of self-learning algorithms in
Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems and (smart) robotics. Secondly,
it provides an overview of several key initiatives at the
international and European levels on forthcoming AI ethics and
regulation.
