Paper by Robert Chesney and Danielle Keats Citron: “Harmful lies are nothing new. But the ability to distort reality has taken an exponential leap forward with “deep fake” technology. This capability makes it possible to create audio and video of real people saying and doing things they never said or did. Machine learning techniques are escalating the technology’s sophistication, making deep fakes ever more realistic and increasingly resistant to detection.
Ever heard of public procurement? Public tenders? Public spending? It is what your government does with your hard earned taxes: hires companies to do things. In return for your taxes, companies build roads, buildings, deliver cozy office chairs for the ministries, or take care of catering for public schools.
29. 11. 2018 Stuttgart Hohenheimhttp://www.steinbeis.de/mediwa Digitalisation is fundamentally changing how we work. Networking and synergies are becoming ever more important due to the convergence of new and emerging technologies. In order to take advantage of this potential and shape cooperation at all levels and channels, communication plays a central role.
Are there assumptions about the Internet architecture that no longer hold in a world where larger, more centralized entities provide big parts of the Internet service? If the world changes, the Internet and its technology/architecture may have to match those changes. It appears that level[ing] the playing field for new entrants or small players brings potential benefits. Are there technical solutions that are missing today?

World Bank: “The World Development Indicators (WDI) is the World Bank’s premier compilation of international statistics on global development. Drawing from officially recognized sources and including national, regional, and global estimates, the WDI provides access to almost 1,600 indicators for 217 economies, with some time series extending back more than 50 years.
Aktuelle gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen machen deutlich, wie wichtig historisches Wissen für das Geschichtsbewusstsein einer Gesellschaft ist. Wenn die historische Wissensvermittlung und der kritische Umgang mit vermeintlichen Fakten nicht bereits in der Schule gelehrt werden, dann füllen ggf. andere die entstehenden Leerstellen der Weltdeutung mit populistischen Antworten. Doch kann der Geschichtsunterricht diese Aufgabe noch leisten? Welcher Stellenwert kommt ihm in den Lehrplänen einzelner Bundesländer noch zu?
Universal Acceptance is a foundational requirement for a truly multilingual Internet, one in which users around the world can navigate entirely in local languages. It is also the key to unlocking the potential of new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) to foster competition, consumer choice and innovation in the domain name industry. To achieve Universal Acceptance, Internet applications and systems must […]
