Assume self-driving cars are a hacker’s dream ? Think again
▻https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/aug/30/self-driving-cars-hackers-security
Autonomous vehicles have long been seen as a major security issue, but experts say they’re less vulnerable to hacks than human-controlled vehicles Self-driving cars feel like they should provide a nice juicy target for hackers. After all, a normal car has a driver with their hands on the wheel and feet on the pedals. Common sense suggests this provides a modicum of protection against a car takeover which a self-driving car, or even one with just the sort of assisted driving features (...)

Cambridge Analytica : l’arbre Facebook cache la forêt de notre inculture numérique

Former à l’hygiène numérique, voilà qui devrait être l’objectif de chaque personne qui « s’y connaît en informatique ». L’affaire Cambridge Analytica nous rappelle une nouvelle fois cet impératif contemporain. Des enquêtes comme celles publiées dans le Guardian et le New York Times se multiplient. Les protagonistes changent — tantôt il est question de Facebook, tantôt de YouTube, tantôt de Twitter. Les intérêts changent aussi — propagande, business, surveillance de masse, influence. Enfin, les méthodes (...)
Je me permets de faire remonter un article du Guardian (mai 2017) au sujet de Cambridge Analytica et de son réseau de collusions mafieuses à la solde de « démocraties totalitaires ».

Reste que ces affaires ont le mérite de mettre en évidence une chose importante : la culture du numérique est aujourd’hui lacunaire et se voit doublée d’une naïveté en rapport avec son côté immatériel. Si quelqu’un court vers vous, l’air en colère, avec un marteau brandi, vous aurez peur et vous vous mettrez à couvert. Le marteau, outil pratique au quotidien, sera devenu une arme. Et personne ne doutera une seconde, dans cette situation, de son caractère létal. En revanche, l’entreprise qui dresse un profil psychologique complet de vous, le vend à un candidat à une élection, le tout avec un quiz de personnalité sur une plateforme de confiance, est inoffensive. Après tout, c’est sur le web, ce n’est pas si grave. Vrai ? Faux.
Et pendant ce temps la loi sur le secret des affaires est voté en douce.
As Google AI researcher accused of harassment, female data scientists speak of ’broken system’
▻https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/dec/22/google-ai-researcher-sexual-harassment-female-data-scientists
Sexual harassment and groping allegations against a suspended researcher are part of an industry culture that condones sexist behavior, women say Katherine Heller felt helpless. The Duke University professor was at a statistics conference last year when, she said, she witnessed Steven Scott, a senior artificial intelligence (AI) researcher at Google, make sexual advances on one of her female students. According to Heller, when she spoke to Scott later at an event dinner, he was defensive (...)

End of the smashed phone screen? Self-healing glass discovered by accident
▻https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/dec/18/smashed-cracked-phone-screen-self-healing-glass-university-of-tokyo
The new polymer glass is “highly robust mechanically yet can readily be repaired by compression at fractured surfaces”.
The properties of the polyether-thioureas glass were discovered by accident by graduate school student Yu Yanagisawa, who was preparing the material as a glue. Yanagisawa found that when the surface of the polymer was cut the edges would adhere to each other, healing to form a strong sheet after being manually compressed for 30 seconds at 21°C.
Further experimentation found that the healed material regained its original strength after a couple of hours.
Yanagisawa told NHK that he didn’t believe the results at first and repeated his experiments multiple times to confirm the finding. He said: “I hope the repairable glass becomes a new environment-friendly material that avoids the need to be thrown away if broken.”

The US’s top media regulator voted to end rules protecting an open internet on Thursday, a move critics warn will hand control of the future of the web to cable and telecoms companies. At a packed meeting of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in Washington, the watchdog’s commissioners voted three to two to dismantle the “net neutrality” rules that prevent internet service providers (ISPs) from charging websites more for delivering certain services or blocking others should they, for (...)

The digital attack that brought Estonia to a standstill 10 years ago was the first shot in a cyberwar that has been raging between Moscow and the west ever since It began at exactly 10pm on 26 April, 2007, when a Russian-speaking mob began rioting in the streets of Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia, killing one person and wounding dozens of others.

L’intelligence artificelle a bon dos.

Ex-Facebook president Sean Parker: site made to exploit human ’vulnerability’ | Technology | The Guardian
▻https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/nov/09/facebook-sean-parker-vulnerability-brain-psychology
He explained that when Facebook was being developed the objective was: “How do we consume as much of your time and conscious attention as possible?” It was this mindset that led to the creation of features such as the “like” button that would give users “a little dopamine hit” to encourage them to upload more content.
“It’s a social-validation feedback loop … exactly the kind of thing that a hacker like myself would come up with, because you’re exploiting a vulnerability in human psychology.”

Justin Rosenstein had tweaked his laptop’s operating system to block Reddit, banned himself from Snapchat, which he compares to heroin, and imposed limits on his use of Facebook. But even that wasn’t enough. In August, the 34-year-old tech executive took a more radical step to restrict his use of social media and other addictive technologies.
