Au cours de ce séjour, nous avons eu la chance de rencontrer deux femmes réfugiées remarquables, Fadimata Aicha Walet Mohamed Issa et Moueny Abdoulwahab, qui nous ont parlé de leur expérience en tant que femmes dans l'industrie de la technologie en Mauritanie. Toutes deux racontent leurs histoires personnelles depuis le Mali et l'Afrique centrale vers la Mauritanie, soulignant les défis particuliers qu'elles affrontent en tant que femmes réfugiées naviguant au sein d'un environnement numérique nouveau. Malgré un accès à l'internet limité à WhatsApp, Facebook et Tiktok et la rareté de l'internet mobile, les femmes ont trouvé des moyens et approches innovants de créer des entreprises et de créer des communautés. Elles utilisent ces plateformes non seulement pour établir des connexions sociales, mais également pour gérer des commerces en ligne, démontrant une créativité remarquable malgré les contraintes. Découvrez leurs histoires et leurs expériences d'espoir, de courage, ainsi que de nombreux défis auxquels ces femmes sont confrontées et comment elles utilisent la technologie pour tenter d'atteindre leurs objectifs. Cette discussion fait partie du projet "Women in Tech" mené par l'Institut Alexander von Humboldt pour Internet et Société (HIIG), en collaboration avec la Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) et le Centre de Transformation Digitale (DTC) en Mauritanie. Toutes les publications et informations relatives au projet „Women in Tech" sont disponibles sur le site du projet.

O candidato que usar inteligência artificial para difamar opositores ou o sistema eleitoral poderá ter o registro da candidatura e o mandato cassado. A punição está prevista na recém-aprovada resolução do Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE) sobre uso de IA nas eleições deste ano. Além disso, o TSE deixou claro que os candidatos podem utilizar a inteligência artificial, desde que informem ao eleitor de maneira clara sobre o uso da tecnologia digital.A efetividade dessa decisão é o tema em discussão no episódio desta semana do Sem Precedentes, podcast do JOTA que discute o Supremo e a Constituição. O debate conta com participação de especial de três especialistas no assunto: a professora de Direito Civil do IDP, Laura Schertel, o diretor Executivo do InternetLab, Francisco Brito Cruz; e a pesquisadora em tecnologia, poder e sociedade no The Alexander von Humboldt Institute de Berlim, Clara Keller. Os três fazem parte do Comitê de Integridade do TSE e participaram das discussões que levaram à resolução aprovada.Conduzida pelo diretor de Conteúdo do JOTA, Felipe Recondo, com participação da  professora da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais e da Central European University e integrante do time fixo do Sem Precedentes, Juliana Alvim, a conversa também aborda o que, mesmo com a resolução do TSE, ainda falta para ser feito. Para os entrevistados, é preciso uma resposta do Congresso Nacional, com uma legislação sobre o fluxo de informações, responsabilidades, limites das plataformas.Além de detalhar a construção do texto, os convidados fazem uma avaliação sobre as decisões do TSE nas últimas eleições e sobre a pressão das plataformas para evitar o avanço de medidas mais restritivas. E também respondem o que ainda falta ser feito.Até o momento, o Judiciário foi o único Poder que avançou no combate à desinformação e na responsabilização das plataformas. O Congresso Nacional retomou ano passado a discussão sobre uma regulamentação, mas não conseguiu aprovar o PL 2630. O Executivo também não avançou nesta área.

This week, we are exploring the underground and invisible networks of Colombia – along with some of its strangest and least-understood creatures: fungi. We'll be talking about zombie fungi, shamanic fungi and magic mushrooms, the Wood Wide Web, sunscreen spores, makeup fungi, and eco-warrior fungi – plus why this fascinating mega-science has been so neglected, and why it's more urgent than ever that mycology gets the awareness, resources, and respect that it deserves. Emily Hart interviews two of Colombia's top scientists and leaders in their fields: mycologist Aida Vasco is Assistant professor at the School of Microbiology at the University of Antioquia and Co-Chair of the Colombian Association of Mycology; botanist Mauricio Diazgranados is Chief Science Officer and Dean of the International Plant Science Center at the New York Botanical Garden. Mauricio led the Useful Plants and Fungi of Colombia project, including the development of the Colfungi portal and the Catalogue of Fungi of Colombia, on which Aida also worked. There are an estimated 300,000 species of fungi in Colombia, the huge majority of which are unstudied. In fact, fungi in general remains one of science's great mysteries: it is known as a ‘neglected mega-science'. They change animal behaviour, connect the forests, feed humans and animals, and may even be a key weapon in the fight against climate change. Battling this vast gap in knowledge is the Useful Plants and Fungi of Colombia project - an initiative led by Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in collaboration with the Humboldt Institute. The projects aim to increase, consolidate, and make accessible the knowledge of the country's useful plants and fungi for the benefit of local communities. Fungi have played a vital role in shaping the Earth's biosphere, and have directly impacted human society and its cultural evolution for the past 300,000 years - used as food, for ritualistic purposes, or as medicinal products. In Colombia, fungi - in the form of wild edible mushrooms - are primarily used as a nutritional source, having long played a role in the food security of indigenous people and local communities: representations are found in the iconography of several pre-Hispanic cultures throughout the country, showing knowledge and a close cultural relationship with fungi. Shamanic and spiritual uses are also common in the country. Habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, overuse of pesticides and fungicides, and of course climate change affect fungi as well as fauna and flora, but fungi are not explicitly included in biodiversity legislation, biodiversity action plans, and conservation policies in Colombia. The Colombian government only recognises three components of biological diversity: Fauna, Flora, and microorganisms. But there is cause for hope – we are only just starting to understand fungi but the field is gaining momentum, and experiments show their potential is even grander than we have imagined – they are not only a sustainable food source to fight hunger and the industrial food which accelerates climate change: mushrooms can also decompose waste – including nappies and cigarette butts, and can be used in ‘myco-fabrication' - manufacture of e.g. architecture and furniture. They are incredibly adaptive, and provide ways for plants and animals to survive even in extreme and degraded environments.

This week, Emily Hart takes you on a sonic tour of Colombia, with the Humboldt Institute's Natural Sound Collection: not only are we going to be hearing about this amazing project, we are going to be listening to some of the more unusual and noteworthy sounds from the collection itself and exploring what they tell us about Colombia's natural environments and those who inhabit them. We'll hear a giant otter's bark, the snore of a fish, a frog cocktail party, and mosquito love songs, plus bizarre and beautiful birds – along with a few other Colombian nature noises. We are joined by the collection's curator, Hoover Pantoja – expert in bioacoustics, technological development, and innovation; and Curator of Birds, Gustavo Bravo - evolutionary ornithologist and expert in the systematics, ecology, and evolution of Neotropical birds. This soundbank – known as the Mauricio Álvarez Rebolledo Collection - is the second largest repository of natural sounds in Latin America, with more than 24,000 audio recordings - of 20 species of mammals, 1064 birds, 131 amphibians, 17 insects, and numerous ambient recordings of Colombia's innumerable ecosystems. It has been built sound by sound since the 1990s, providing a crucial resource on a vastly underrated dimension of Colombia's biodiversity, and ecology more generally. We'll be talking about its evolution, from one man in the wilds of Colombia wielding a tape recorder through to the high-tech solutions – including of course artificial intelligence – being applied to the collection and the discipline more widely today. This sound bank is open to everyone - we'll be sharing the links so you can explore it for yourselves too. We are going to be journeying through the unseen universe of natural sound – sounds we often don't or even can't hear - talking about which animals have evolved to make and hear sounds - and why, and how sound can be used to understand evolution and measure the health of ecosystems. In the next hour, we'll travel across Colombia from the Amazon to the Eastern Plains and beyond – with an unplanned but somewhat inevitable detour through Central Medellin.

Emily Hart takes us (way) back in time this week, to a very different Colombia - one well before the arrival of human beings… but in the process of looking back, we'll also be looking forwards - to what the future on this planet might look like. We have with us some of the team behind "Hace Tiempo" - an incredible book on Colombia's paleontological past: Colombia's leading palaeontologist, Carlos Jaramillo, Paleo-botanist at EAFIT University, Camila Martínez, and science communications specialist at Parque Explorer Luz Helena Oviedo. This illustrated book - now in its second edition - is a paleontological journey through the country's past, and winner of an Alejandro Ángel prize, one of the most important awards for scientists in Colombia. More than 30 Colombian palaeontologists, working all over the world, contributed to the book, which is available free online – http://repository.humboldt.org.co/handle/20.500.11761/36213 – the physical version is for sale through the website of the Humboldt Institute, a key partner in its creation. Colombia is enormously fossil-rich and with a huge variety of habitats past and present Understanding Colombia's ancient flora and fauna is key to understanding the country's incredible biodiversity today, which is the product of millions of years of evolution, but in the alarmingly short term, is threatened by climate change and the accelerating global extinction of species. Uniquely, the project also gives readers in Colombia a paleontological resource which relates to the land around them. Rather than the well-known dinosaurs like T-Rex or triceratops, this book presents prehistoric animals peculiar to Colombia, like the 6-tonne giant sloth which lived here 50 million years ago, giant turtles the size of a cars, or the megalodon which roamed Colombia's waters, the biggest shark to ever exist – bigger than a school bus. The Titanoboa, meanwhile, was a vast snake weighing over a tonne, which roamed 60 million years ago in the then-tropical jungles of La Guajira, ancestor to the anaconda and the boa constrictor, its body was 13 metres long and – at a cross section - the size of a bicycle wheel. It is the largest snake ever to roam the earth. The Titanoboa was discovered by Carlos himself only a few years ago - after analysing tons of rocks extracted from the Cerrejón mines still active in La Guajira today. The new and expanded edition of the book - just out - includes a new chapter on Perijasaurus Lapaz, a long-necked herbivorous Colombian dinosaur discovered in 2018 in the Serranía del Perijá. Its name pays homage both to where it was discovered and to the 2016 peace agreement with the FARC, hence lapaz - which allowed palaeontologists to explore that region for the first time in decades. So today we'll be talking all about what Colombia looked like a very long time ago, what happened since, what fossil records can teach us about climate change, and whether humans are in fact, as Carlos will argue, the least successful species ever to live on Planet Earth.

Why should it be unscientific to think about the future? Why shouldn’t we be allowed to take a critical scientific stance in thinking about the future? There is no contradiction in being scientific and turning towards the future—towards what is not yet known. Wouldn’t it be scientific, in the best sense of the word, if researchers examined utopias and investigated, with the best available knowledge, why they cannot become true? The Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) offered scientists a platform for imagining utopias beyond the usual research. The visionary stories address the opportunities and challenges that digital technologies present for society in the future of 2040. And they have been collected in a book available on: https://twentyforty.hiig.de/   In this episode we have spoken with Bronwen Deacon, coordinator of the project a the von Humboldt Institute, Gianluca Sgueo, Policy Analyst - EU Parliament and New York University Global Media Seminar Professor, and Isabella Hermann, scientific coordinator on Artificial Intelligence at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. 

Wolfgang Schulz studied law and mathematics and is now an expert on media law and algorithmic decision taking. He is the director of the Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) and the Hans-Bredow-Institute in Hamburg and also advises the European Council on intermediaries – such as social media platforms, search engines and micro blogging services – and human rights. In this episode, he explains the difficulties of regulating intermediaries that increasingly can be seen as hybrids between state and society.

When did you hear of the last German Facebook, Uber or Amazon? Today’s episode is on the question why Germany tends to find it difficult to make the translation between researching AI and creating a successful AI startup. We’ll be speaking with Jessica Schmeiss, doctoral researcher at the Humboldt Institute. Her research focusses on digital entrepreneurship and in trying to make AI less of a ‘black box’.

  They say that here in the US, states are the laboratories of democracy and it’s true: Each and every day we’re running state-sized experiments on ourselves, whether we’re testing out a new tax policy, new reforms to education, or new environmental controls.  Well at the beginning of this year, California launched one off those experiments on a grand scale when it legalized the recreational use of marijuana.  On this edition of In Depth we’re going to finish up our two part series examining marijuana’s impact in California as we near the end of our first year of legal recreational sales.  Last week we discussed how the brand new marijuana industry is fairing as businesses scramble to adapt to a range of new regulations and taxes.  This week though we’re going to look at some of the social consequences of legalization.  First we’ll be looking at what legalization has meant for the criminal justice system, and then we’ll examine what impact it’s had on our kids.  Guest:  Josh Meisel, a professor of sociology and a co-director of the Humboldt Institute for Interdisciplinary Marijuana Research.  Up next we're going to take a look at how marijuana has impacted teens here in California.  Guest:  Danielle Ramo, adjunct associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry at UC San Francisco and the director of research operations at Hope Lab in San Francisco.

We find ourselves surrounded by buzzwords like Big Data, Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence and it becomes ever more difficult to understand the world that we are currently building. This is Exploring Digital Spheres, a brand new podcast produced by the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society. My name is Wouter Bernhardt and I’m very excited to announce this podcast all about our digital society.

We talked to an expert of digital innovation: Sascha Friesike, assistant professor of Digital Innovation at VU Amsterdam and associated researcher at the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society in Berlin. Sascha is one of the editors and writers of the book Opening Science, on the significant impact of internet on research, collaboration and publishing practices. In this episode he tells us more about the various definitions and the barriers to a wider embrace of open science. According to Sascha, there is a contradiction between the goals of the academic system and the incentives of the individual scientist. He describes this current situation as a social dilemma: ‘Individual rationality leads to collective irrationality.’ A shorter version of this interview was used in our first episode (https://soundcloud.com/utrechtyoungacademy/the-road-to-open-science-ep-1-a-social-dilemma). All the show-notes and discussion about that episode are available on https://openscience-utrecht.com/r2os-episode-1/. Follow @R2OSpodcast on twitter to stay up to date about the upcoming episodes.

Uta Meier-Hahn, Efe Kerem Sözeri, Melih Kırlıdoğ, Başak Çalı This panel, organised by Internet Policy Review, discusses the latest political and social dynamics at play in Turkish society, with a focus on the battle for the control over communications. The speakers – a technology journalist, a lawyer on international law and a computer scientist – will provide in-depth information about the current state of political online communication in Turkey. Since the internet law of 2007, the imposition of internet filters in 2011, the repression of the Gezi protests in 2013, the 2014 defamation amendment, the 2015 national security amendment and more recently, the post-coup amendments and attacks, the Turkish authorities have progressively increased their appetite for an authoritarian rule. Purges in the military, suppression of critical journalists, persecution and lay-offs of “Academics for Peace”, massive lay-offs in public posts after the July 2016 coup attempt — which was regarded as “a gift from heaven” by President Erdoğan, intimidation and repression of targeted groups (e.g., Kurds and left-wing movements) and many more events in the run-up to the Turkish Constitutional Referendum 2017 were constantly accompanied by an ever-increasing control over the means of communication by governmental interests. Online media and independent voices in social media have progressively been targeted by pro-government trolls, have seen their websites under DDoS attack or taken down. Fake Twitter accounts have taken this social network by assault, especially around election time. Censorship has started morphing into different shapes and it is now increasingly clear that government-backed forces are surveilling opponents. There are traces that agencies responsible for internet governance in Turkey are surveilling communications such as mobile via IMSI-catcher. Internet service providers (ISPs) are required by law to use deep packet inspection (DPI) since February 2014 in order to keep detailed traffic logs for 2 years. In a post-coup-attempt amendment, cyber-crime police units are authorised to access these logs. In addition to the usual blocking of social media sites and other domains, the government is quite creative in communication control to the extent that Turkey became a pioneer for applying unusual internet blocking methods such as bandwidth throttling. Internet blocking circumvention tools such as Tor and VPNs are blocked and cannot be used extensively in the country. Cutting down the internet and telephone communications altogether in crisis regions where mass protests are expected can also be added to the list. Nevertheless, there is a stubborn and vivid opposition in the country which uses the remaining venues of communication effectively. An example is the sendika.org independent news website which has been “permanently” closed by the government or its courts 19 times before. Yet, it is currently (April 2017) operating as sendika20.org. The speakers will retrace the road to extensive internet censorship in Turkey, expose methods and strategies used by pro-government forces to reign-in online communications. They will assess ways forward in light of Turkey's suspension of the European Convention of Human Rights. Finally, they will hint at some of the tactics that civil society, academia and the independent media is using to dodge censorship and to advance a progressive agenda.
