6 | Privacy Advisor | Jedidiah Bracy | ShowLink | Exploring emotion-detection technology: A conversation with Ben Bland | Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies are rapidly developing across virtually all sectors of the global economy. One nascent field is empathic technology, which, for better or worse, includes emotion detection. It is estimated that the emotion detection industry could be worth $56 billion by 2024. However, judging a person's emotional state is subjective and raises a host of privacy, fairness, and ethical questions. Ben Bland has worked in the empathic technology space in recent years and now chairs the IEEE's P7014 Working Group to develop a global standard for the ethics of empathic technology. We recently caught up to discuss the pros and cons of the technology and his work with IEEE. | Listen | May 14, 2021 | 42 min | Ben Bland | Empathic technology | ||

8 | Cyberlaw Podcast | Stewart Baker | ShowLink | Episode 361: Computers Will Soon Be Hacking Us. If They Aren’t Already. | Bruce Schneier joins us to talk about AI hacking in all its forms. He's particularly interested in ways AI will hack humans, essentially preying on the rough rules of thumb programmed into our wetware – that big-eyed, big-headed little beings are cute and need to have their demands met or that intimate confidences should be reciprocated. AI may not even know what it's doing, since machines are famous for doing what works unless there's a rule against it. Bruce is particularly interested in law-hacking – finding and exploiting unintended consequences buried in the rules in the U.S. Code. If any part of that code will lend itself to AI hacking, Bruce thinks, it's the tax code (insert your favorite tax lawyer joke here). It's a bracing view of a possible near-term future.; In the news, Nick Weaver and I dig into the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack and what it could mean for more aggressive cybersecurity action in Washington than the Biden administration was contemplating just last week as it was pulling together an executive order that focused heavily on regulating government contractors.; Nate Jones and Nick examine the stalking flap that is casting a cloud over Apple's introduction of AirTags.; Michael Weiner takes us through a quick tour of all the pending U.S. government antitrust lawsuits and investigations against Big Tech. What's striking to me is how much difference there is in the stakes (and perhaps the prospects for success) depending on the company in the dock. Facebook faces a serious challenge but has a lot of defenses. Amazon and Apple are being attacked on profitable but essentially peripheral business lines. And Google is staring at existential lawsuits aimed squarely at its core business.; Nate and I mull over the Russian proposal for a UN cybercrime proposal. The good news is that stopping progress in the UN is usually even easier than stopping legislation in Washington.; Nate and I also puzzle over ambiguous leaks about what DHS wants to do with private firms as it tries to monitor extremist chatter online. My guess: This is mostly about wanting the benefit of anonymity or a fake persona while monitoring public speech.; And then Michael takes us into the battle between Apple and Fortnite over access to the app store without paying the 30% cut demanded by Apple. Michael thinks we've mostly seen the equivalent of trash talk at the weigh-in so far, and the real fight will begin with the economists' testimony this week. Nick indulges a little trash talk of his own about the claim that Apple’s app review process provides a serious benefit to users, citing among other things the litigation-driven disclosure that Apple never send emails to users of the 125 million buggered apps it found a few years back.; Nick and I try to make sense of stories that federal prosecutors in 2020 sought phone records for three Washington Post journalists as part of an investigation into the publication of classified information that occurred in 2017.; I try to offer something new about the Facebook Oversight Board's decision on the suspension of President Trump’s account. To my mind, a telling and discrediting portion of the opinion reveals that some of the board members thought that international human rights law required more limits on Trump's speech – and they chose to base that on the silly notion that calling the coronavirus a Chinese virus is racist. Anyone who has read Nicholas Wade's careful article knows that there's lots of evidence the virus leaked from the Wuhan virology lab. If any virus in the last hundred years deserves to be named for its point of origin, then, this is it. Nick disagrees.; Nate previews an ambitious task force plan on tackling ransomware. We'll be having the authors on the podcast soon to dig deeper into its nearly 50 recommendations.; Signal is emerging a Corporate Troll of the Year, if not the decade. Nick explains how, fresh from trolling Cellebrite, Signal took on Facebook by creating a bevy of personalized Instagram ads that take personalization to the Next Level. Years after the fact, the New York Attorney General has caught up with the three firms that generated fake comments opposing the FCC's net neutrality rollback. They'll be paying fines. But I can't help wondering why anyone thinks it's useful to think about proposed rules by counting the number of postcards and emails that shout "yes" or "no" but offer no analysis.; And more!; As always, The Cyberlaw Podcast is open to feedback.

11 | Data Diva Talks Privacy | Debbie Reynolds | ShowLink | E26 - Pedro Pavón Facebook | Debbie Reynolds, "The Data Diva,” talks to Pedro Pavón, who works on Privacy, Fairness, and Data Policy, at Facebook. We discuss being authentic and experiences of being a person of color in the data privacy field, the vital human elements of privacy as it is thought of differently all over the world, the Netflix documentary Coded Bias featuring Dr. Joy Buolamwini, the interplay of privacy and technology, bias in AI and technology, and how this relates to data privacy, facial recognition, and surveillance, the problem of using statistics to measure AI success and human harm, AI and decisions about life and liberty, the impact of using facial recognition in policing and education, the problem of applying technology made for one purpose to a different purpose, the need to constantly monitor and correct AI systems, the challenge of information silos within an organization with data privacy, and his wish for data privacy in the future. | Listen | May 4, 2021 | 42 min | Pedro Pavón | Bias in AI, AI and decisions about life and liberty | ||
12 | Cyberlaw Podcast | Stewart Baker | ShowLink | Episode 360: The Robot Apocalypse and You | Our interview is with Kevin Roose, author of Futureproof: 9 Rules for Humans in the Age of Automation debunks most of the comforting stories we use to anaesthetize ourselves to the danger that artificial intelligence and digitization poses to our jobs. Luckily, he also offers some practical and very personal ideas for how to avoid being caught in the oncoming robot apocalypse.; In the news roundup, Dmitri Alperovitch and I take a few moments to honor Dan Kaminsky, an extraordinary internet security and even more extraordinarily decent man. He died too young, at 42, as Nicole Perlroth demonstrates in one of her career-best articles.; Maury Shenk and Mark MacCarthy lay out the EU's plan to charge Apple with anti-competitive behaviour in running its app store.; Under regulation-friendly EU competition law, the more austere U.S. version, it sure looks as though Apple is going to have trouble escaping unscathed.; Mark and I duke it out over Gov. DeSantis's Florida bill on content moderation reform.; We agree that it will be challenged as a violation of the First Amendment and as preempted by federal section 230. Mark thinks it will fail that test. I don’t, especially if the challenge ends up in the Supreme Court, where Justice Thomas at least has already put out the "Welcome" mat.; Dmitri and I puzzle over the statement by top White House cyber official Anne Neuberger that the U.S. reprisals against Russia are so far not enough to deter further cyberattacks. We decide it's a "Kinsley gaffe" – where a top official inadvertently utters an inconvenient truth.; This Week in Information Operations: Maury explains that China may be hyping America’s racial tensions not as a tactic to divide us but simply because it’s an irresistible comeback to U.S. criticisms or Chinese treatment of ethnic minorities. And Dmitri explains why we shouldn’t be surprised at Russia's integrated use of hacking and propaganda. The real question is why the US has been so bad at the same work.; In shorter stories: Mark covers the slooow rollout of an EU law forcing one-hour takedowns of terrorist content; Dmitri tells us about the evolution of ransomware into, full-service doxtortion as sensitive files of the C. Police Department are leaked online; Dmitri also notes the inevitability of more mobile phone adtech tracking scandals, such as the compromise of US military operations; Maury and I discuss the extent to which China's internet giants find themselves competing, not for consumers, but for government favor, as China uses antitrust law to cement its control of the tech sector; Finally, Dmitri and I unpack the latest delay in DOD's effort to achieve cybersecurity maturity through regulatory-style compliance, an effort Dmitri believes is doomed; And more!; As always, The Cyberlaw Podcast is open to feedback.

15 | Serious Privacy | Paul Breitbarth | K Royal | ShowLink | Oh what a week in privacy with Paul and K | In this episode of Serious Privacy, Paul Breibarth and K Royal tackle the slew of development (or non-developments) in privacy around the world. What a week in privacy! We had the proposal for AI Regulation published in the EU, the UK adequacy opinion, and of course, several privacy bills in states around the US, and the United States Supreme Court decision in AMG Capital Management, LLC et al. v. Federal Trade Commission, decided the morning of the episode recording. The AI proposal has garnered much conversation, such as in this article by Politico and the summary by Dr. Gabriela Zanfir-Fortuna of the Future of Privacy Forum. Paul and K discuss various aspects of the proposal including a few unexpected recommendations, or lack thereof. However, the UK adequacy opinion was not as surprising, but quite interesting. Once we turned to the US and state privacy bills, the end was near for several key states, and by the time this episode is live, we know that the Washington bill is dead once again. However, there remains hope for a couple of others given the dates of when sessions end, such as Florida - which we should know in a few days - it is scheduled for its third reading at this time. About 15 states still had bills at the time (see webinar on update by TrustArc on state privacy bills), and of course, the next legislative season may see more change. The FTC decision by the USSC was top of mind given its impact on FTC authority, which also led to discussions of the federal privacy bill by Rep. DelBene which proposes quite an expansion of FTC authority. Please see this statement released by the FTC on the matter. This case was reminiscent of a prior case with LabMD (yes, different enforcement actions, but still speaking to FTC authority).

17 | Law Bytes | Michael Geist | Episode 85: Céline Castets-Renard on Europe's Plan to Regulate Artificial Intelligence | Last week, the European Commission launched what promises to be a global, multi-year debate on the regulation of artificial intelligence. Several years in development, the proposed rules would ban some uses of AI, regulate others, and establish significant penalties for those that fail to abide by the rules. European leaders believe the initiative will place them at the forefront of AI, borrowing from the data protection framework of seeking to export EU solutions to the rest of the world. Céline Castets-Renard is a colleague at the University of Ottawa, where she holds the University Research Chair on Accountable Artificial Intelligence in a Global World. She joins the Law Bytes podcast to discuss the EU plans, their implications for Canadian AI policy, and the road ahead for the regulation of artificial intelligence. | Listen | Apr 26, 2021 | 32 min | Céline Castets-Renard, University of Ottawa | Regulation of artificial intelligence | |||

24 | Cyberlaw Podcast | Stewart Baker | ShowLink | Episode 356: Who Minds the Gap | Our interview is with Kim Zetter, author of the best analysis to date of the weird messaging from NSA and Cyber Command about the domestic "blind spot" or "gap" in their cybersecurity surveillance. I ask Kim whether this is a prelude to new NSA domestic surveillance authorities (definitely not, at least under this administration), why the gap can't be filled with the broad emergency authorities for FISA and criminal intercepts (they don't fit, quite), and how the gap is being exploited by Russian (and soon other) cyberattackers. My most creative contribution: maybe AWS, where most of the domestic machines are being spun up, would trade faster cooperation in targeting such machines for a break on the know-your-customer rules they may otherwise have to comply with. And if you haven't subscribed to Kim's (still free for now) substack newsletter, you're missing out.; In the news roundup, we give a lick and a promise to today's Supreme Court decision in the fight between Oracle and Google over API copyrights, but Mark MacCarthy takes us deep on the Supreme Court's decision cutting the heart out of most, class actions for robocalling. Echoing Congressional Dems, Mark thinks the Court's decision is too narrow. I think it's exactly right. We both expect Congress to revisit the law soon.; Nick Weaver and I explore the fuss over vaccination passports and how Silicon Valley can help. Considering what a debacle the Google and Apple effort on tracing turned into, with a lot of help from privacy zealots, I'm pleased that Nick and I agree that this is a tempest in a teapot. Paper vax records are likely to be just fine most of the time. That won't prevent privacy advocates from trying to set unrealistic and unnecessary standards for any electronic vax records system, more or less guaranteeing that it will fall of its own weight. Speaking of unrealistic privacy advocates, Charles-Albert Helleputte explains why the much-touted GDPR privacy regime is grinding to a near halt as it moves from theory to practice. Needless to say, I am not surprised.; Mark and I scratch the surface of Facebook's Fairness Flow for policing AI bias. Like anything Facebook does, it's attracted heavy criticism from the left, but Mark thinks it's a useful, if limited, tool for spotting bias in machine learning algorithms. I'm half inclined to agree, but I am deeply suspicious of the confession in one "model card" that the designers of an algorithm for identifying toxic speech seem to have juiced their real-life data with what they call "synthetic data" because "real data often has disproportionate amounts of toxicity directed at specific groups." That sure sounds as though the algorithm relying on real data wasn't politically correct, so the researchers just made up data that fit their ideology and pretended it was real – an appalling step for scientists to take with little notice. I welcome informed contradiction.; Nick explains why there's no serious privacy problem with the IRS subpoena to Circle, asking for the names of everyone who has more than $20 thousand in cryptocurrency transactions. Short answer: everybody who doesn't deal in cryptocurrency already has their transactions reported to the IRS without a subpoena.; Charles-Albert and I not that the EU is on the verge of finding that South Korea's data protection standards are "adequate" by EU standards. The lesson for the US and China is simple: The Europeans aren't looking for compliance; they're looking for assurances of compliance. As Fleetwood Mac once sang, "Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.;" Mark and I note the extreme enthusiasm with which the FBI used every high-tech tool to identify even people who simply trespassed in the Capitol on January 6. The tech is impressive, but we suspect a backlash is coming. Nick weighs in to tell me I'm wrong when I argue that we didn't see these tools used this way against ANTIFA's 2020 rioters.; Nick thinks we haven't paid enough attention to the Accellion breach, and I argue that companies are getting a little too comfortable with aggressive lawyering of their public messages after a breach. One result is likely to be a new executive order about breach notification (and other cybersecurity obligations) for government contractors, I predict.; And Charles and I talk about the UK's plan to take another bite out of end-to-end encryption services, essentially requiring them to show they can still protect kids from sexual exploitation without actually reading the texts and pictures they receive.; Good luck with that!; And more.; The views expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not reflect the opinions of their institutions, clients, friends, families, or pets. | Listen | Apr 5, 2021 | 69 min | Kim Zetter | Facebook's Fairness Flow for policing AI bias | ||

35 | Serious Privacy | Paul Breitbarth | K Royal | ShowLink | FDIC's Chief Innovation Officer: Paper Clips and PbD (Sultan Meghji) | In this episode of Serious Privacy, K Royal and Paul Breitbarth host the new and first Chief Innovation Officer of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in the US, Sultan Meghji. Sultan has a rich history as co-founder of Neocova which specializes in AI software for financial institutions, an adjunct professor at Washington University's Olin Business School, a scholar of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and an alum of the FBI Phoenix Citizens Academy - where he met K over a decade ago. But as the first Chief Innovation Officer, the initial focus is on - what is his job description? It is clear that Sultan's expertise flows across a broad span of what Serious Privacy's listeners are interested in, such as security and privacy by design, technological innovation in the financial services, and how the US fits into the global market. Given that Sultan is new to the role, he does not yet have any major policy initiatives to announce, but did provide a teaser on some tech innovation which we should see come out in the near future and which fulfills the FDIC's desire to advance financial technology on a rapid pace of adoption. Join us as we discuss how the financial market has changed in the past few decades with artificial intelligence, cyberevents, and the ripples of the interconnectedness of the market and technology. We also peek into what the next few decades may look like, but the new normal that we are in, it is difficult to predict any certain future. We also discussed ransomware as a service, engineering resilience, and advantages of liberal democracies. Sultan did emphasize that he wants to hear from the public on ideas for or problems with financial services and technology and he can be reached at innovation@fdic.gov.

39 | Cyberlaw Podcast | Stewart Baker | ShowLink | Episode 352: A Lot of Cybersecurity Measures that Don't Work, and a Few that Might | We're mostly back to our cybersecurity roots in this episode, for good reasons and bad. The worst of the bad reasons is a new set of zero-day vulnerabilities in Microsoft’s Exchange servers. They've been patched, Bruce Schneier tells us, but that seems to have inspired the Chinese government hackers to switch their campaign from Stealth to Promiscuous Mode. Anyone who hasn't already installed the Microsoft patch is at risk of being compromised today for exploitation tomorrow.; Nick Weaver and Dmitri Alperovitch weigh in on the scope of the disaster and later contribute to our discussion of what to do about our ongoing cyberinsecurity. We're long on things that don't work. Bruce has pointed out that the market for software products, unfortunately, makes it entirely rational for industry to skimp on security while milking a product's waning sales. Voluntary information sharing, has failed Dmitri notes. In fact, as OODA Loop reported in a devastating chart, information sharing is one of half a dozen standard recommendations made in the last dozen commission recommendations for cybersecurity. They either haven't been implemented or they don't work.; Dmitri is hardly an armchair quarterback on cybersecurity policy. He's putting his money where his mouth is, in the form of the Silverado Policy Accelerator, which we discuss during the interview segment of the episode. Silverado is focused on moving the cybersecurity policy debate forward in tangible, sometimes incremental, ways. It will be seeking new policy ideas in cybersecurity, trade and the environment, and industrial policy. (The unifying theme is the challenge to the US posed by the rise of China and the inadequacy of our past response to that challenge.) But ideas are easy; implementation is hard. Dmitri expects Silverado to focus its time and resources both on identifying novel policy ideas and on ensuring those ideas are transformed into concrete outcomes.; Whether artificial intelligence would benefit from some strategic decoupling sparks a debate between me, Nick, Jane Bambauer, and Bruce, inspired by the final AI commission report. We shift from that to China's version of industrial policy, which seems to reflect Chinese politics in its enthusiasm not just for AI and chips but also for keeping old leaders alive longer.; Jane and I check in on the debate over social media speech suppression, including the latest developments in the Facebook Oversight Board and the unusual bedfellows that the issue has inspired. I mock Google for YouTube's noblesse oblige promise that it will stop suppressing President Trump's speech when it no longer sees a threat of violence on the Right. And then I mock it again for its silly refusal to return search results for "BlueAnon"—the Right's label for the Left's wackier conspiracy theories.; In quick hits, Bruce and Dmitri explore a recent Atlantic Council report on hacked access as a service and what to do about it. Bruce thinks the problem (usually associated with NSO) is real and the report's recommendations plausible. Dmitri points out that trying to stamp out a trade in zero days is looking at the wrong part of the problem, since reverse engineering patches is the source of most successful attacks, not zero days. Speaking of NSO, Nick reminds us of the rumors that they have been under criminal investigation and that the investigation has been revived recently.; Jane notes that Virginia has become the second state with a consumer data protection law, and one that resembles California's CCPA.; Jane also notes the Israeli Supreme Court decision ending (sort of) Shin Bet's use cellphone data for coronavirus contact tracing. Ironically, it turns out to have been more effective than most implementations of the Gapple privacy-crippled app.; Bruce and Dmitri celebrate the hacking of three Russian cybercrime forums for the rich array of identity clues the doxxing is likely to make available to researchers like Bellingcat (whose founder will be our interview guest on Episode 353 of the Cyberlaw Podcast.

In following her passions, Aarti found herself studying computer engineering and computer science, and upon taking a pause from her studies, she found a niche working at IBM in a mix of databases and networking. In her current position, Aarti describes her favorite discussion topics very often involve being around the use of AI for converting security into predictive domains. Aarti reminds us that you should pause and see if you are on the right path. Staying on a path just because you started there can be a bad idea.

49 | Cyberlaw Podcast | Stewart Baker | David Kris | ShowLink | Episode 348: Well, Have You Ever Seen Dr. Octopus and Sen. Klobuchar Together? | This episode features a deep dive into the National Security Agency's self-regulatory approach to overseas signals intelligence, or SIGINT. Frequent contributor David Kris takes us into the details of the SIGINT Annex that governs NSA's collections outside the US. It turns out to be a surprising amount of fun as we stop to examine the SIGINT turf wars of the 40s, the intelligence scandals of the 70s, and how they shaped NSA's corporate culture.; In the news roundup, Bruce Schneier and I review the Privacy Commissioner's determination that Clearview AI violated Canadian privacy law by scraping Canadians' photos from social media.; Bruce thinks Clearview had it coming; I'm skeptical, since it appears that pretty much everyone has been scraping public face data for their machine learning collections for years.; David Kris explains why a sleepy investment review committee with practically no staff is now being compared to a SWAT team. The short answer is "CFIUS."; More and more, Gus Hurwitz and I note, Big Tech CEOs are being treated in Washington like comic book supervillains. But have they met their match? Sen. Amy Klobuchar is clearly campaigning to be, if not Attorney General, then their nemesis. Like Doc Ock, she's throwing punch after punch at Big Tech, not just in antitrust legislation but Section 230 reform as well.; We're not done with Solar Winds yet, and Bruce Schneier thinks that’s fair. He critiques the company for milking profits from its software niche without reinvesting in security.; Gus revives the theme of Big Tech at bay, noting that Australia may start charging Google when it links to Australian news stories noting that Australia may start charging Google when it links to Australian news stories and that the new administration seems quite willing to join the rest of the world in imposing more taxes more taxes on tech profits.; David covers the flap between India and Twitter, which is refusing to follow an Indian order to suppress several Twitter accounts. That's probably, I suggest, because there is insufficient proof that the accounts in question belong to Republicans.; IBM seems to be bailing on blockchain, and Bruce thinks it's about time. In some ways, IBM is the most interesting of tech companies, since it has less of a moat around its business than most and must live by its wits, which are formidable. Bruce offers quantum computing as an example of IBM doing the right things well.; Bruce and Gus help me with a preview of an upcoming interview of Nicole Perlroth as we cover an op-ed pulled from her new book. Bruce also offers a quick assessment of the draft report of the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence The short version: there isn’t enough there there.; Finally, Gus reminds us that a prophet who predicts the attention economy but then refuses to play by its rules is almost guaranteed to end up as an attention Cassandra, as Michael Goldhaber has.; And more.

64 | Cyberlaw Podcast | Stewart Baker | ShowLink | Episode 342: Could European Privacy Law Protect American Child Molesters? | The views expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not reflect the opinions of their institutions, clients, friends, families, or pets.Our interview is with Alex Stamos, who lays out a complex debate over child sexual abuse that’s now roiling Brussels. The application of European privacy standards and AI hostility to internet communications providers has called into question the one tool that has reduced online child sex predation. Scanning for sex abuse images works well, and even scanning for signs of “grooming” is surprisingly effective. But they depend on automated monitoring of communications content, something that has come as a surprise to European lawmakers hoping to impose more regulation on American tech platforms. Left unchanged, the new European rules could make it easier to abuse American kids. Alex explains the rushed effort to head off that disaster – and tells us what Ashton Kutcher has to do with it (a lot, it turns out).; Meanwhile, in the news roundup, Michael Weiner breaks down the FTC's (and the states’) long-awaited antitrust lawsuit against Facebook. Maybe the government will come up with something as the case moves forward, but its monopolization claims don’t strike me as overwhelming. And, Mark MacCarthy points out, the likelihood that the lawsuit will do something good on the privacy front is vanishingly small.; Russia’s SVR, heir of the KGB, is making headlines with a remarkably sophisticated and well-hidden cyberespionage attack cyberespionage attack on a lot of institutions that we hoped were better at defense than they turned out to be. Nick Weaver lays out the depressing story, and Alex offers a former CISO’s perspective, arguing for a federal breach notification law that goes well beyond personal data and includes disciplined after-action reports that aren’t locked up in post-litigation gag orders. Jamil Jaffer tells us that won’t happen in Congress any time soon.; Jamil also comments on the prospects for the National Defense Authorization Act, chock full of cyber provisions and struggling forward under a veto threat. If you’re not watching the European Parliament tie itself in knots trying to avoid helping child predators, tune in to watch American legislators tie themselves into knots tie themselves into knots trying to pass an important defense bill without drawing the ire of the President.; The FCC, in an Ajit Pai farewell, has been hammering Chinese telecoms companies. In one week, Jamil reports, the FCC launched proceedings to kick China Telecom out of the US infrastructure, reaffirmed its exclusion of Huawei from the same infrastructure, and adopted a “rip and replace” mandate for US providers who still have Chinese gear Chinese gear in their networks.; Nick and I clash over the latest move by Apple and Google to show their contempt for US counterterrorism efforts – the banning of a location data company whose real crime was selling the data to (gasp!) the Pentagon.; Mark explains the proposals for elaborate new regulation elaborate new regulation of digital intermediaries now working their way through -- where else? – Brussels. I offer some cautious interest in regulation of “gatekeeper” platforms, if only to prevent Brussels and the gatekeepers from combining to slam the Overton window on conservatives’ fingers.; Mark also reports on the Trump administrations principles for US government use of artificial intelligence government use of artificial intelligence, squelching as premature my celebration at the absence of “fairness” and “bias” cant.; Those who listen to the roundup for the porn news won’t be disappointed, as Mark and I dig into the details of Pornhub’s brush with cancellation at the hands of Visa and Mastercard – and how the site might overcome the attack.; In short hits, Nick and I disagree about Timnit Gebru, the “ethicist” who was let go at Google at Google after threatening to quit and who now is crying racism. I report on the enactment of a modest enactment of a modest but useful IoT Cybersecurity law and on the doxxing of the Chinese Communist Party membership rolls as well as the adoption of the most law-enforcement-hostile technology yet to come out of Big Tech – Amazon’s Sidewalk.; And More!

68 | Cyberlaw Podcast | Stewart Baker | ShowLink | Episode 341: It's Time to Pay Attention When Attention Stops Paying | Did you ever wonder where all that tech money came from all of a sudden? Turns out, a lot of it comes from online programmatic ads, an industry that gets little attention even from the companies, such as Google, that it made wealthy. That lack of attention is pretty ironic, because lack of attention is what's going to kill the industry, according to Tim Hwang, former Google policy maven and current research fellow at the Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET).; In our interview, Tim Hwang explains the remarkably complex industry and the dynamics that are gradually leaching the value out of its value proposition. Tim thinks we're in an attention bubble, and the popping will be messy. I'm persuaded the bubble is here, but not that its end will be disastrous outside of Silicon Valley.; Sultan Meghji and I celebrate was seems like excellent news about a practical AI achievement in predicting protein folding. It's a big deal, and an ideal problem for AI, with one exception. The parts of the problem that AI hasn't solved would be a lot easier for humans to work on if AI could tell us how it solved the parts it did figure out. Explainability, it turns out, is the key to collaborative AI-human work.; We welcome first time participant and long-time listener Jordan Schneider to the panel. Jordan is the host of the unmissable ChinaTalk podcast. Given his expertise, we naturally ask him about … Australia. Actually, it's a natural, because Australia is now the testing ground for many of China's efforts to exercise power over independent countries using cyber power along with trade. Among the highlights: Chinese tweets highlighting a report about Australian war crimes followed by hamhanded tweet-boosting bot campaigns. And in a move that ought to be featured in future justifications of the Trump administration's ban on WeChat, the platform refused to carry the Australian prime minister's criticism of the war-crimes tweet. Ted Cruz, call your office!; And this will have to be Sen. Cruz's fight, because it looks more and more as though the Trump administration has thrown in the towel. Its claim to be negotiating a TikTok sale after ordering divestment is getting thinner; now the divestment deadline has completely disappeared, as the government simply says that negotiations continue. Nick Weaver is on track to win his bet with me that CFIUS won't make good on its order before the mess is shoveled onto Joe Biden's plate.; Whoever was in charge of beating up WeChat and TikTok may have left government early, but the team that's sticking pins in other Chinese companies is still hard at work. Jordan and Brian talk about the addition of SMIC to the amorphous Defense blacklist. And Congress has passed a law (awaiting Presidential signature) that will make life hard for Chinese firms listed on US exchanges.; China, meanwhile, isn't taking this lying down, Jordan reports. It is mirror-imaging all the Western laws that it sees as targeting China, including bans on exports of Chinese products and technology. It is racing (on what Jordan thinks is a twenty-year pace) to create its own chip design capabilities. And with some success. Sultan, newly dubbed the podcast's DeHyper, takes some of the hype out of China's claims to quantum supremacy. Though even dehyped, China's achievement should be making those who rely on RSA-style crypto just a bit nervous (that's all of us, by the way).; Michael Weiner previews the still veiled state antitrust lawsuit against Facebook and promises to come back with details as soon as it's filed.; In quick hits, I explain why we haven't covered the Iranian claim that their scientist was rubbed out by an Israeli killer robot machine gun: I don't actually believe them. Brian explains that another law aimed at China and its use of Xinjian forced labor is attracting lobbyists but likely to pass. Apple, Nike, and Coca-Cola have all taken hits for lobbying on the bill; none of them say they oppose the bill, but it turns out there's a reason for that. Lobbyists have largely picked the bones clean.; President Trump is leaving office in typical fashion – gesturing in the right direction but uninteresting in actually getting there. In a "Too Much Too Late" negotiating move, the President has threatened to veto the defense authorization act if it doesn't include a repeal of section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. If he's yearning to wield the veto, Dems and GOP alike seem willing to give him the chance. They may even override, or wait until January 20 to pass it again.; Finally, I commend to interested listeners the oral argument in the Supreme Court's Van Buren case, about the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. The Solicitor General's footwork in making up quasitextual limitations on the more sweeping readings of the Act is admirable, and it may well be enough to keep van Buren in jail, where he probably belongs for some crime, if not this one.; And more. | Listen | Dec 7, 2020 | 1 hr 6 min | AI Explainability problems | |||

72 | Serious Privacy | Paul Breitbarth | K Royal | ShowLink | RegTech: Using the Power of Technology for Good (with Shub Nandi) | Technology brings new demands for compliance, especially given the amount of personal data collected through various means and how it is both used and combined. However, technology can also be used to assist compliance professionals by providing the necessary information quickly. In most of the Serious Privacy episodes, co-hosts Paul Breibarth and K Royal have discussed one or more specific data protection and privacy related topics. With guest Shub Nandi, the CEO and Founder of PiChain, a company based in Bangalore, India, that primarily focuses on the financial sector, they look at the broader scope of RegTech (regulatory technology) and how it helps to support compliance. PiChain tries to simplify all kinds of business processes, from customer and business onboarding and Know-Your-Customer to e-Contracts. These are all topics that privacy professionals would address, but typically would not have the information available to assess risks accurately or timely. With AI, one can leverage the power of technology to simplify the process, reserving valuable time for decision-making and remediation plans rather than collecting the information. Join us as we discuss the financial market, regulatory challenges, and key technology solutions, such as blockchain. The conversation expands to include the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, India’s challenges including its privacy laws, and ethics in data science.

75 | EFF's How to Fix the Internet | Cindy Cohn | Danny O’Brien | ShowLink | From Your Face to Their Database | 005 | Abi Hassen joins EFF hosts Cindy Cohn and Danny O’Brien as they discuss the rise of facial recognition technology, how this increasingly powerful identification tool is ending up in the hands of law enforcement, and what that means for the future of public protest and the right to assemble and associate in public places. In this episode you’ll learn about: * The Black Movement Law Project, which Abi co-founded, and how it has evolved over time to meet the needs of protesters; * Why the presumption that people don’t have any right to privacy in public spaces is challenged by increasingly powerful identification technologies; * Why we may need to think big when it comes to updating the U.S. law to protect privacy; * How face recognition technology can have a chilling effect on public participation, even when the technology isn’t accurate; * How face recognition technology is already leading to the wrongful arrest of innocent people, as seen in a recent case of a man in Detroit; * How gang laws and anti-terrorism laws have been the foundation of a legal tools that can now be deployed against political activists; * Understanding face recognition technology within the context of a range of powerful surveillance tools in the hands of law enforcement; * How we can start to fix the problems caused by facial recognition through increased transparency, community control, and hard limits on law enforcement use of face recognition technology, * How Abi sees the further goal is to move beyond restricting or regulating specific technologies to a world where public protests are not so necessary, as part of reimagining the role of law enforcement. Abi is a political philosophy student, attorney, technologist, co-founder of the Black Movement-Law Project, a legal support rapid response group that grew out of the uprisings in Ferguson, Baltimore, and elsewhere. He is also a partner (currently on leave) at O’Neill and Hassen LLP, a law practice focused on indigent criminal defense.

(okay recorded with a live studio audience) from our offices at a fabulous virtual conference - the 2020 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society, discussing Public Interest Technologies in a four day long global online conference. This is a first for Serious Privacy, recording an episode live as part of the conference presentation. In normal times, this conference would have taken place face-to-face, facilitating lots of participants to debate their papers with their peers in person. The Public Interest Technology University Network, comprising 36 institutes of higher education, is working to address these very issues by “building the nascent field of public interest technology and growing a new generation of civic-minded technologists.” Paul Breitbarth and K Royal host this live session and focus on the papers that are being presented and discussed on a wide range of topics. Arizona State University is one of the founding members of PIT-UN and is K’s alma mater and where she teaches privacy law. Quite a few of these issues addressed in the conference have also been addressed earlier in this first season of the Serious Privacy podcast: from Ethical AI concerns to COVID apps, and from Surveillance Societies to Mentoring the Next Generation of Technology Innovators. Join us as we discuss data monopolies, start-up tech companies, cultural norms, and more. Their host for the session, Salah Hamdoun also joined the conversation. Salah is a PhD student in Arizona but is from the Netherlands - which makes for a great discussion on the differences between the EU and the US approaches to privacy. It was the first time the Fourth Industrial Revolution has arisen in the episodes, but an old favorite in government surveillance did make an appearance. *Resources *Katina Michael (co-chair of the conference) and Jamie Winterton, speaker, contributor, and author of Creating the Public Interest Technologies of the Future - Learning to Love the “Wicked Problem” Salah Hamdoun's paper: Technology and the Formalization of the Informal Economy *Social Media *@Podcastprivacy, @heartofprivacy, @euroPaulB, @trustArc, @ASU, @katinamichael, @IEEESSIT, @j_winterton | Listen | Nov 25, 2020 | 49 min | Salah Hamdoun | Ethical AI | |

The topic of the podcast was the challenges in the second wave of tech solutionism for pandemic response. The topics discussed included the use of AI tools for social distancing enforcement, the importance of DPIAs that ACTUALLY follow through on things, and the issues of data quality and data governance that can arise with relatively new technologies with high error rates. A key question raised is this: if a mix of technologies with varying error rates are combined and sold as a solution for public liability risks in a public health crisis and they fail... who is responsible and liable? And is the social and societal impact worth it if we are just implementing public health theatre when the investment and resources might better be spent on Public Health Doctors and Public Health Informatics?

95 | Data Privacy Detective | Joe Dehner | ShowLink | Episode 55 - Differential Privacy and Academic Research | Science and knowledge advance through information gathered, organized, and analyzed. It is only through databases about people that social scientists, public health experts and academics can study matters important to us all. As never before, vast pools of personal data exist in data lakes controlled by Facebook, Google, Amazon, Acxiom, and other companies. Our personal data becomes information held by others. To what extent can we trust those who hold our personal information not to misuse it or share it in a way that we don’t want it shared? And what will lead us to trust our information to be shared for database purposes that could improve the lives of this and future generations, and not for undesirable and harmful purposes? Dr. Cody Buntain, Assistant Professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology’s College of Computing and an affiliate of New York University’s Center for Social Media and Politics discusses in this podcast how privacy and academic research intersect. Facebook, Google, and other holders of vast stores of personal information face daunting privacy challenges. They must guard against unintended consequences of sharing data. They will not generally share with and will not sell to academic researchers access to databases. However, they will consider and approve collaborative agreements with researchers that result in providing academics access to information for study purposes. This access can aim to limit access to identifying individuals through various techniques, including encryption, anonymization, pseudonymization, and “noise” (efforts to block users from being able to identify individuals who contributed to a database). “Differential privacy” is an approach to the issues of assuring privacy protection and database access for legitimate purposes. It is described by Wikipedia as “a system for publicly sharing information about a dataset by describing the patterns of groups within the dataset while withholding information about individuals in the dataset.” The concept is based on the point that it is the group’s information that is being measured and analyzed, and any one individual’s particular circumstances are irrelevant to the study. By eliminating the need for access to each individual’s identity, the provider of data through differential privacy seeks to assure data contributors that their privacy is respected, while providing to the researcher a statistically valid sample of a population. Differentially private databases and algorithms are designed to resist attacks aimed at tracing data back to individuals. While not foolproof, these efforts aim to reassure those who contribute their personal information to such sources that their private information will only be used for legitimate study purposes and not to identify them personally and thus risk exposure of information the individuals prefer to keep private. “Data donation” is an alternative. This provides a way for individuals to provide their own data to researchers for analysis. Some success has been achieved by paying persons to provide their data or allowing an entity gathering data for research to collect what it obtains by agreement with a group of persons. Both solutions have their limits of protection, and each can result in selection bias. Someone active in an illicit or unsavory activity will be reluctant to share information with any third party. We leave “data traces” through our daily activity and use of digital technology. Information about us becomes 0’s and 1’s that are beyond erasure. There can be false positives and negatives. Algorithms can create mismatches, for example a mistaken report from Twitter and Reddit identifying someone as a Russian disinformation agent.

96 | Cyberwire Daily | ShowLink | Just saying there are attacks is not enough. [Research Saturday] | Ben-Gurion University researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence technique that will protect medical devices from malicious operating instructions in a cyberattack as well as other human and system errors. Complex medical devices such as CT (computed tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and ultrasound machines are controlled by instructions sent from a host PC. Abnormal or anomalous instructions introduce many potentially harmful threats to patients, such as radiation overexposure, manipulation of device components or functional manipulation of medical images. Threats can occur due to cyberattacks, human errors such as a technician's configuration mistake or host PC software bugs. As part of his Ph.D. research, Tom Mahler has developed a technique using artificial intelligence that analyzes the instructions sent from the PC to the physical components using a new architecture for the detection of anomalous instructions.
