AJCxZ0<p>"Many things are necessary to lead a full, free life--good health, economic and educational opportunity, and a fair break in the marketplace, to name a few. But none of these is more important than the most basic of all individual rights, the right to privacy. A system that fails to respect its citizens' right to privacy fails to respect the citizens themselves. ... At no time in the past has our Government known so much about so many of its individual citizens.<br> ...<br> Advanced technology has created new opportunities for America as a nation, but it has also created the possibility for new abuses of the individual American citizen.

C.<p>Daniel J.

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"When asked directly about the most pressing digital threats, be it AI misuse or quantum computing, Schneier quipped. "I generally hate ranking threats, but if I had to pick candidates for 'biggest,' it would be one of these: income inequality, late-stage capitalism, or climate change," he wrote. "Compared to those, cybersecurity is a rounding error."<br>(...)<br>Asked directly about NSA reforms post-Snowden, Schneier was skeptical, responding: "Well, they haven't had any leaks of any magnitude since then, so hopefully they did learn something about OPSEC. But near as we can tell, nothing substantive has been reformed."</p><p>Schneier further clarified, "We should assume that the NSA has developed far more extensive surveillance technology since then," stressing the importance of vigilance.</p><p>He touched on the fusion of AI and democracy - a theme of his upcoming book Rewiring Democracy - noting that he didn't "think that AI as a technology will change how different types of government will operate. It's more that different types of governments will shape AI."</p><p>He is pessimistic that countries will harness AI's power to do good and help improving quality of life.</p><p>"It would be fantastic if governments prioritized these things," he said. "[This] seems unrealistic in a world where countries are imagining some sort of AI 'arms race' and where monopolistic corporations are controlling the technologies. To me, that speaks to the solutions: international cooperation and breaking the tech monopolies. And, yes, those are two things that are not going to happen.""</p><p><a href="https://www.scworld.com/news/bruce-schneier-ai-hype-nsa-surveillance-and-cybersecuritys-real-challenges" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">scworld.com/news/bruce-schneie</span><span class="invisible">r-ai-hype-nsa-surveillance-and-cybersecuritys-real-challenges</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CyberSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/NSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NSA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Surveillance</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AISafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AISafety</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/QuantumComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>QuantumComputing</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Cryptography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cryptography</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Encryption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Encryption</span></a></p>
