It can happen to you if “someone” determines you are a threat to them or an aide to the other side.

Lessons from the Russian Cyber Warfare Attacks

In these unprecedented times of targeted attacks against governments and financial institutions, every organization should be on heightened alert about protecting their critical infrastructure and digital attack surface.

With the Russia-Ukraine conflict as a backdrop, two Trend Micro security experts – VP of Threat Intelligence Jon Clay and Chief Cybersecurity Officer Ed Cabrera – recently discussed cyberwarfare techniques and how they’re an important reminder for every business to proactively manage cyber risk.

While we haven’t witnessed a pure cyber war with only digital fighting, typical cyberwarfare tactics — such as hacking government websites, spreading misinformation on social media, and installing malware to steal data — are taking on a bigger role in physical conflicts. In a world where people and critical infrastructures are hyper-connected, malicious hackers have an abundance of targets.

The Datafication of Law: How Technology Encodes Carceral Power and Affects Judicial Practice in the United States

Rothschild Elyassi, Gil, The Datafication of Law: How Technology Encodes Carceral Power and Affects Judicial Practice in the United States (April 10, 2022). Law and Social Inquiry, Vol. 47, No. 1, 2022, Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=4080216

This inquiry explores how data analyses about US Federal sentences have transformed sentencing practice beginning in the mid-1980s. I consider this inquiry an early case of the datafication of law, a pervasive process that translates legal practice into data and embeds it in digital networks so it can be tracked and analyzed in real time. To explore datafication historically and in relation to legal practice and power, I consider it not as an objective and passive undertaking but, rather, as an ideological and performative process that encodes and enacts normative presumptions and desirable futures. The empirical inquiry traverses “levels of analysis” and thus bridges prominent perspectives in sociolegal research. In so doing, I identify four mechanisms that mediate “large-scale” processes and “local” practices: field assembly, symbolic projection, material inscription, and boundaries spanning. Substantively, I show how datafication has not simply described, but also transformed, sentencing practice according to a colorblind-carceral imaginary that strives to fix the present in place. By relentlessly translating decisions into data forms that derive from this carceral imaginary, datafication affects judicial action and partakes in sustaining legacies of oppression. Yet, like other technologies, datafication also reveals dialectic dimensions in opening up to new actors and subjecting its ideological underpinnings to contestation and change.”

Tesla and SpaceX among companies analyzed in global AI report

Tesla and SpaceX were listed as top companies analyzed in the global Artificial Intelligence of Things (AioT) Solutions Market Report. Tesla was also mentioned as a top company in an Intellgent Driving market report.

In June Elon Musk tweeted that Tesla’s AI Day would be on September 30 since Tesla may have an Optimus prototype working by then.

Although Tesla’s work with AI is commonly known, not much is hardly mentioned about SpaceX’s use of AI. In April 2022, Analytics India Mag published an article highlighting how SpaceX is incorporating AI to advance its goals.
