If you're going to Blackhat this year, here is one talk you wont want to miss: https://lnkd.in/egazy_jg The presenter, Fred Heiding, is a research fellow in computer science at Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. He researches how to mitigate AI-enabled cyberattacks via technical innovations, organizational strategies, and national security policies. He is also featured in BarCode's forthcoming docu-series titled "Inhuman".

Based on the theory of metacognition, we explore how people form and strengthen their ideas and opinions. In this process, privacy provides a perspectives a channel for perspectives to flow and personal positions to consolidate.

Best introduction to the #justicetech sector is this powerful new research from the Duke Center on Law & Tech. Thanks for your advocacy, Kelli Raker!

Dr. Steven Puckett, of our Computer Science and Information Systems Department, recently met with Hville Blast to discuss new developments in the North Alabama business community! 📊 Read the article linked here for his insights, plus more news: https://lnkd.in/eGz8RUBG Let us know your thoughts in the comments! ⬇️ #BusinessRoundup #myUNA #SandersCOBT

Why is privacy important, not as an abstract legal concept, but as a feature of a civilization? * Does your answer mostly focus on harms caused by lack of privacy? Or does it focus on an affirmative vision of a society that values privacy? * Does your answer rely on a framework of absolute legal and moral rights? Or do you focus on tradeoffs? * In your vision is there less technological progress? Or is there more technological progress? I'd love to hear all the answers to the first question, and I'm especially interested in answers that focus on an affirmative vision that acknowledges tradeoffs and aspires to more -- rather than less -- technological progress. I think that version of the story needs more champions because extraordinary scholars, lawyers, and storytellers are already working on the other ones! Shoutout to Elizabeth Sparacino, who prompted these questions during the extraordinary Duke Privacy Day event she organized last week!

Reflecting on the early days of design and development, I can't help but appreciate the role of our trusty Black n' Red notebooks. Before we even thought about touching a computer, these notebooks were our creative canvas and technical reference. Every design, every line of code, and every innovative idea was meticulously recorded by hand. 📓✏️ Back then, systems were far from reliable. Crashes and data loss were common occurrences, and having everything backed up in our log books was more than a safety net – it was a necessity. These notebooks captured the evolution of our projects, serving as both a repository of knowledge and a testament to our process. In a world that now thrives on digital solutions and cloud storage, it's humbling to remember the tangible foundation we built our careers on. Those pages weren't just about redundancy; they were about deliberate, thoughtful planning and documentation that anchored our work. Today, as we embrace cutting-edge technology, let's also celebrate the timeless practices that shaped us. Here's to the power of pen and paper, and to all the Black n' Reds that helped us navigate the uncharted territories of early internet provisioning systems. #OldSchool #TechHistory #Documentation #CreativeProcess
