Download E se...? Cenários para 2021. Futuros para 2024 Autor: European Union Institute for Security Studies Setembro de 2020 E se, no próximo ano, um submarino estrangeiro fosse atacado em território da União Europeia ou um país criasse de propósito resíduos espaciais para afectar as nações mais tecnológicas? Ou se o Sol pudesse levar a uma ciberguerra? E poderá o futebol ser o rastilho para desencadear uma nova Primavera Árabe?... http://tictank.pt/2020/12/30/e-se-cenarios-para-2021-futuros-para-2024-2/
The agreement reached between the EU and the UK on Brexit also addresses the regime for transfers of personal data, with some unexpected developments. It is not a surprise that the EU-UK trade cooperation agreement has a section dedicated to data protection matters. In particular, the privacy-related terms of the Brexit deal provides in relation to data transfers that there will be a maximum 6-month transitional period in which transfers of personal data from the EU towards the UK will be free with the UK that will not be considered to a “third country” and therefore no standard contractual clauses or other means provided by articles 46 or 49 of the GDPR will be necessary, and likewise During such a period, the UK recognized EEA privacy laws to be adequate for data transfers from the UK to the EEA; but The transitional period might be shorter if the European Commission early adopts a decision of adequacy; and To ensure that the UK does not become the door to uncontrolled transfers towards third countries, during the transitional period, the UK will not issue Art 45 adequacy decisions or Art 46 approved safeguards for transfers without prior EU approval. https://www.gamingtechlaw.com/2020/12/privacy-brexit-deal-impact-transfers-data.html

Satellites can reveal global extent of forced labor in the world’s fishing fleet: Forced labor in fisheries is increasingly recognized as a human rights crisis. Until recently, its extent was poorly understood and no tools existed for systematically detecting forced labor risk on individual fishing vessels on a global scale. Here we use satellite data and machine learning to identify these high-risk vessels and find widespread risk of forced labor in the world’s fishing fleet. This information provides new opportunities for unique market, enforcement, and policy interventions. This also provides a proof of concept for how remotely sensed dynamic individual behavior can be used to infer forced labor abuses. https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2020/12/16/2016238117

In 2016, we introduced AlphaGo, the first artificial intelligence (AI) program to defeat humans at the ancient game of Go. Two years later, its successor - AlphaZero - learned from scratch to master Go, chess and shogi. Now, in a paper in the journal Nature, we describe MuZero, a significant step forward in the pursuit of general-purpose algorithms. MuZero masters Go, chess, shogi and Atari without needing to be told the rules, thanks to its ability to plan winning strategies in unknown environments. https://deepmind.com/blog/article/muzero-mastering-go-chess-shogi-and-atari-without-rules
