Deepfakes are already affecting the 2024 election, and the technology is only becoming more convincing. UC Berkeley computer scientist Hany Farid shared the stage with Mina Kim on March 2 at the Night of Ideas, held at the San Francisco Public Library before a live audience. We listen back to their conversation about how easy it to make fake digital content with generative A.I. and the impact that's having on our democracy. Guests: Hany Farid, professor, UC Berkeley - with a joint appointment in electrical engineering & computer sciences and the School of Information. He is also a member of the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Lab and is a senior faculty advisor for the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity.

Recorded on October 10, 2022, this “Authors Meet Critics” panel focused on the book Voices in the Code: A Story About People, Their Values, and the Algorithm They Made, by David Robinson, a visiting scholar at Social Science Matrix and a member of the faculty at Apple University. Robinson was joined in conversation by Iason Gabriel, a Staff Research Scientist at DeepMind, and Deirdre Mulligan, Professor in the UC Berkeley School of Information. The panel was co-sponsored by the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology, the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity, and the Algorithmic Fairness and Opacity Group (AFOG). About the Book Algorithms – rules written into software – shape key moments in our lives: from who gets hired or admitted to a top public school, to who should go to jail or receive scarce public benefits. Today, high stakes software is rarely open to scrutiny, but its code navigates moral questions: Which of a person's traits are fair to consider as part of a job application? Who deserves priority in accessing scarce public resources, whether those are school seats, housing, or medicine? When someone first appears in a courtroom, how should their freedom be weighed against the risks they might pose to others? Policymakers and the public often find algorithms to be complex, opaque and intimidating—and it can be tempting to pretend that hard moral questions have simple technological answers. But that approach leaves technical experts holding the moral microphone, and it stops people who lack technical expertise from making their voices heard. Today, policymakers and scholars are seeking better ways to share the moral decisionmaking within high stakes software — exploring ideas like public participation, transparency, forecasting, and algorithmic audits. But there are few real examples of those techniques in use. In Voices in the Code, scholar David G. Robinson tells the story of how one community built a life-and-death algorithm in a relatively inclusive, accountable way. Between 2004 and 2014, a diverse group of patients, surgeons, clinicians, data scientists, public officials and advocates collaborated and compromised to build a new transplant matching algorithm – a system to offer donated kidneys to particular patients from the U.S. national waiting list. Drawing on interviews with key stakeholders, unpublished archives, and a wide scholarly literature, Robinson shows how this new Kidney Allocation System emerged and evolved over time, as participants gradually built a shared understanding both of what was possible, and of what would be fair. Robinson finds much to criticize, but also much to admire, in this story. It ultimately illustrates both the promise and the limits of participation, transparency, forecasting and auditing of high stakes software. The book's final chapter draws out lessons for the broader struggle to build technology in a democratic and accountable way.

Topic 1: Do we need an AI “Accountability” board? “Governments should protect residents from the harms of artificial intelligence and provide means of redress, according to researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. In a white paper from Berkeley's Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity, the researchers said that anyone who has been harmed or damaged from the deployment of AI should have the right to complain to an agency or department that has oversight of that AI-driven system or be able to take legal action." https://www.nextgov.com/emerging-tech/2022/08/make-ai-accountable-adding-redress-tools-researchers-say/376119/ https://cltc.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/AIs_Redress_Problem.pdf Topic 2: Quietly Quitting - The Hot New Fad - without an agreed-upon definition Some articles describe Quietly Quitting as taking back work/life balance. Other describe it as doing the bare minimum. We speculate on what it is, and what it might mean. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/quiet-quitting-workplace-trend-just-120000048.html Is QQ a natural consequence of employers' push to get employees back in the office at any cost? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-rips-062715020.html?guccounter=1 The real question is: can you sincerely create engagement and community without being in the same office location 5 days a week? (Short answer: yes.)  Topic 3: Do you have the right to repair . . . your tractor? Wired magazine discusses “jailbreaking” your John Deere. Seriously: This will affect the larger right to repair debate. https://www.wired.com/story/gadget-lab-podcast-562/ Sponsor Memo: Linode Linode – a top Infrastructure as a Service provider has resources specifically for helping MSPs explore the alternative cloud.

Welcome back to the Tech Policy Grind Podcast by the Internet Law and Policy Foundry!  In this episode, Class 4 Fellow Lama Mohammed interviews Sophia Baik, a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity and incoming Assistant Professor at the Department of Communication Studies at the University of San Diego. Episode 15 follows Sophia and Lama in a detailed discussion on the future of the American Data Protection and Privacy Act (ADPPA) — the United States' most comprehensive federal privacy legislation to date — by breaking the bill down, highlighting its significance and the future of the bill when Congress comes back from the August recess.   While the rest of the world responds to the growing ubiquitous nature of technology through its enactment of comprehensive privacy bills, the United States continues to fall behind by failing to pass federal privacy legislation. Our experts use this opportunity to dive into why the ADPPA is such a monumental bill, especially as it relates to protecting civil rights and liberties in the digital era. Although the bill is at risk of failing to pass to the House, Sophia provides listeners with recommendations on how to get involved with the privacy movement and how to protect our online data and digital identities.  You can connect with Sophia on Twitter (@jeeyunbaik) and read all her amazing published research on her Google Scholar profile. Thanks for listening, and stay tuned for our next episode!

In this episode, Nick Merrill, a research fellow at the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity, makes a cybersecurity case for nationalizing major CDNs such as Cloudflare, issues some pretty stark warnings about the dangers of machine learning, and digs into why stereotypical images of hackers in hoodies doesn't help anyone. His viewpoints are sobering if not controversial and worth listening to for anyone who cares about the future of the global internet. ---------Why you should listen:* Get a fresh perspective on some of the biggest risks to the global web: unchecked algorithmic bias, the risk of attacks on massive CDNs, and the growing internet fragmentation.* Consider some of the boldest ideas from one of the sharpest thinkers when it comes to how policymakers can make fundamental changes to protect the internet.* Hear Nick's take on why art matters in cybersecurity -- and why stereotypical images of hackers in hoodies harm the public's perceptions of information security. * Learn more about Fairness, Accountability and Transparency in Machine Learning and the growing movement to look more critically at the hidden algorithms that control the internet and much of technology today. * Consider how ransomware takedowns and other large-scale cyberattacks such as Colonial Pipeline erode public trust in technology.* Get a better understanding of why diversity in the cybersecurity industry matters when it comes to identifying real-world threats.---------Key Quotes:* “That power over the internet is like a huge strategic asset for the U.S. It's analogous to controlling global trade.”* “Imagine a Stuxnet level attack on Cloudflare.”* “I would nationalize Cloudflare. I would make it like a national publicly-run utility company.”* “This word ‘hacker' got so diluted. It means different things to different people. And it became this totally useless way for describing what's actually happening in security.” * “The future of cybersecurity … is the future of machine learning.”* “The real risk of ransomware is just that it freaks people out.” ---------Related Links:* Synack.com* https://nickmerrill.substack.com/about* iSchool (Berkeley) Bio* https://www.synack.com/lp/enterprise-security-testing-101* https://cltc.berkeley.edu/* https://daylight.berkeley.edu/* https://www.codedbias.com/* https://www.fatml.org/

This week, the AEI Podcast Channel features the latest episode of https://www.aei.org/tag/explain-to-shane-podcast/ (Explain to Shane). You can find Explain to Shane on https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/explain-to-shane/id1523693011 (Apple Podcasts), https://open.spotify.com/show/3ZPhP6FBGDVblkzR3hJzz3?si=9135ca93bd094f45 (Spotify) or wherever you get your podcasts. The potential for a fragmented, decentralized global internet (or “splinternet”) is a concern on many levels. Two aspects of internet governance are at play here: the technical aspects of connectivity (or lack thereof), and content delivery — in essence, what material is permitted, censored, or filtered. As China, Russia, and authoritarian-leaning regimes advance top-down visions of the internet that reflect their national interests, will the internet fragment further? And what would moving away from the status quo of a free, open internet mean for global cybersecurity?  To help make sense of these complex questions, https://www.aei.org/profile/shane-tews/ (Shane) is joined by https://cltc.berkeley.edu/about-us/researchers/nick-merrill/ (Nick Merrill), director of the https://daylight.berkeley.edu/ (Daylight Security Research Lab) at the University of California, Berkeley's https://cltc.berkeley.edu/ (Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity). In addition to recent national news appearances, Nick's work includes https://cltc.berkeley.edu/internet-atlas/ (The Internet Atlas) — a visual indicator of the global internet's structural risks. He joins the podcast to discuss how individual countries' internet governance decisions shape user experiences and the global cybersecurity landscape.

Recorded on February 11, 2021, this "Authors Meet Critics" panel discussion, features Professor Steven Weber, a political scientist and professor in the UC Berkeley School of Information, discussing his book, "Bloc by Bloc: How to Build a Global Enterprise for the New Regional Order," together with Vinod K. Aggarwal, Professor of Political Science, and Homa Bahrami, Senior Lecturer in the Haas School of Business. The panel was introduced by Marion Fourcade, Director of Matrix, and moderated by AnnaLee Saxenian, Professor in the UC Berkeley School of Information. "Bloc by Bloc" puts forward a compelling model for global organization that integrates modern developments in technology and governance. Weber argues that the global political economy is decomposing into regional systems that are more densely linked internally and much more loosely linked to each other. But the new regions are not defined by familiar physical boundaries like mountains and oceans. They are defined by technology rules and standards, which means we need to re-envision a region as a logical not physical space, with no need for geographic contiguity. The panel was presented by the University of California, Berkeley's Social Science Matrix (https://matrix.berkeley.edu​) and the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity (https://cltc.berkeley.edu​).

In breaking news from 1995, the Washington Post takes advantage of a leaked CIA history paper to retell the remarkable tale of Crypto AG, a purveyor of encryption products to dozens of governments – and allegedly a wholly controlled subsidiary of US and German intelligence. Nick Weaver, Paul Rosenzweig, and I are astonished at the derring-do and unapologetic enthusiasm for intelligence collection. I mean, really: The Pope? This week's interview is with Jonathan Reiber, a writer and strategist in Oakland, California, and former Chief Strategy Officer for Cyber Policy and Speechwriter at the Department of Defense, currently senior advisor at Technology for Global Security and visiting scholar at the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity. His recent report offers a candid view of strained relations between Silicon Valley and the Pentagon. The interview explores the reasons for that strain, the importance of bridging the gap and how that can best be done. Nick reports that four PLA members have been indicted over the Equifax breach. He speculates that the US government is sending a message by disclosing a photo of one soldier that appears to have been taken by his own webcam. Paul and I note that China's motivation for the hack was very likely the assembly of records on Americans not dissimilar to the records we know the Chinese keep on Uighurs – which are extraordinarily detailed and surprisingly artisanal.  The arrest of a Bitcoin mixer allows Nick to explain how Bitcoin mixing services work and why they're illegal. Paul lays out the potentially serious impact of Amazon's lawsuit to stop a $10 billion Microsoft-DOD cloud contract. We note that Amazon wants to take testimony from President Trump. Thanks to his Twitter habit, we conclude, that's not out of the question. I preview my remarks at a February 19 Justice Department workshops on Section 230. I will reprise my article in Lawfare and the encryption debate with Nick Weaver that inspired it. And I hope to dig as well into the question whether Section 230 provides too much protection for Silicon Valley's censors. Speaking of which, Jeff Bezos's company has joined the censors but won't tell us which books it's suppressing. Nick and I give a favorable review to CISA's new #Protect2020 election strategy. We search for deeper meaning in the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority's (IANA's) failure to complete its Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) root key signing ceremony because of… a physical safe.

How can scenario planning and stories help leaders to think about the future, plan for it, and invest to mitigate risk? In this episode Jonathan and DJ talk with Jesse Goldhammer, Managing Director of Deloitte’s West Coast Cybersecurity practice and one of the world’s leading scenario thinkers, about the role of scenarios and futures thinking in cybersecurity and national security planning. Scenario planning began as a practice in the 1970s with Royal Dutch Shell following the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Companies (OPEC) crisis that caught oil companies off-guard. After the market was disrupted, Shell began to invest in scenarios to get ahead of future risks -- and companies and governments have adopted the practice ever since, using scenarios to think about everything from technology adoption to cybersecurity to the future of work to the nature of warfare.

 Dawn Thomas and Alan Cohn Your hosts are: 
Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli What is this presentation about? Well let’s start with something we should all know by now: Cybersecurity is a global issue. How could it be otherwise considering that technology has connected all of us? Literally connected. It is not just a matter of communication between people far away or making distances much shorter; we are talking about connecting all of us in a way that we would not have thought possible a few decades ago. Technology is somehow part of almost everything we do nowadays, and there is no going back. Sure it is nice to be able to unplug some of our devices here and there, but that is not stopping the future from happening. Despite what some people like to think, for the most part, we do not live in little, or big, bubbles anymore, and even when we consider our homes, towns or countries to be unique, independent or even isolated from the rest of the world, we are still very much connected with each other. The future is a globalized world of technology all connected together, and denying it or ignoring it is quite dangerous. It is an exciting time to be alive with so many incredible scientific and technological advancements in every area of our lives, with states interacting together and cultures mixing in a global boundary-less cyberspace. It is also a dangerous time to be alive in this new technological era where cybersecurity issues encompass every area of our lives and affect geopolitical dynamics, and the way societies evolve. The decisions we are making today about technology interacting with humans are going to affect our society in 2025 and way beyond that time. It is now that we must force ourselves to think about fundamental philosophical questions and come up with good answers and courses of action, because those, or the lack of those, are already affecting us now and will affect us even more in our future. To predict how this future may look, in 2016 The World Economic Forum Global Future Council on Cybersecurity and the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity began a collaboration to develop a set of future-looking cybersecurity scenarios. These scenarios are very diverse and, as they may appear like a Sci-Fi movie script, contain elements that exist, or are developing, in our present society. By opening the conversations about technology outside of the technology field, using a multidisciplinary approach, and making the stage the place where these conversations happen, the whole world — instead of just individual nations — might actually succeed in addressing this issue before it is too late. 2025 is not that far away. As far as I am concerned, the future is today because it is today where we shape it. So listen up and if you are at RSA Conference in San Francisco join this engaging and interactive presentation that will take place on March 6, 2019, | 1:30 PM – 2:20 PM | Moscone South #301 But now it is time to listen up.

DC Circuit Appeals panel hears net neutrality oral arguments A three-judge panel of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments from the government and consumer advocates last week as consumer advocates’ lawsuit against the FCC for repealing the 2015 open internet rules presses on.

But others say that as more people sign up for genetic tests, the data has become increasingly valuable to solve cold cases, with the arrest last year of the suspected Golden State Killer being a prime example. Feds charge second Chinese Apple car worker with data theft The feds have charged a second Apple engineer with stealing company trade secrets with a plan to bring them back to China. Another Apple employee spotted Jizhong Chen taking snapshots of his workspace with a wide angle lens even though he was working under an NDA.  Apparently Chen had some 2,000 files on his hard drive, including manuals and schematics.  He says he was going to China to see family. But the feds allege he was actually planning to bring the files back to a Chinese car manufacturer he’d applied for a job with. It’s the second Apple employee charged with stealing trade secrets from the company’s self-driving car unit.

The world in 2018 is interconnected. Cybersecurity threats are widespread — even at the 2018 Winter Olympics. As we recorded this episode in January, our guest warned us of potential cybersecurity attacks. And just last week organizers in Pyeongchang confirmed that a cyberattack crippled important IT systems, bringing down display monitors, Wi-Fi and the Olympics website just ahead of the opening ceremony. Government, private and corporate data is constantly under attack from bad actors like this. That’s where cybersecurity comes in. In this episode we are joined by Dr. Betsy Cooper, the Executive Director of the Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity. Dr. Cooper breaks down “cybersecurity”: defining and assessing it, the risks it carries, and the future of cybersecurity.

What will be the state of digital security in five and 10 years? That's the question Steve Weber, director of the University of California - Berkeley's Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity, and his team tried to tackle in a major research project. Weber joins The Cybersecurity Podcast to talk about the maybe not-so-far out possibilities that people may soon start to see insecurity as the status quo on the Web – and that with the spread of the Internet of Things even their emotions could soon be hacked. Podcast cohosts Peter Singer from New America and Sara Sorcher from Passcode, The Christian Science Monitor's section on digital security and privacy, discuss the cybersecurity highlight from their own work this past month. Singer explores the relatively unknown threats to the country's ports and ships – while Sorcher explains the sometimes-controversial process of deciding exactly how much a security flaw is worth in cash.
