Besieged by intelligent software

La sfida tra l’uomo e la macchina intriga gli scienziati da anni, ovvero da quando sono riusciti a trasferire almeno alcune delle caratteristiche proprie dell’intelligenza umana ai «robot». Non si tratta solo di creature più o meno antropomorfe o zoomorfe (dall’aspirapolvere Roomba al cagnolino Aibo passando per il robot umanoide della Honda, Asimo), ma di sofisticati algoritmi con enormi spazi di applicazione nel settore della comunicazione ed elaborazione dati.

«La robotica oggi ha trovato nicchie applicative di grande interesse. si può dire che l’intelligenza artificiale (ai) sia ovunque intorno a noi», dice Andrea Bonarini del laboratorio Ai & Robotics del Politecnico di Milano. «Basti pensare ai software intelligenti per l’interpretazione dei trend di mercato, che permettono di costruire campagne pubblicitarie mirate, a quelli for strategic planning of activities in business or computer systems that are different databases talk to each other. "

On the Stock Exchange from time programs are used for the purchase of securities: Richard Balarkas, CEO of Instinet Europe, points out that European equity markets are mostly driven by algorithms that can perform sophisticated analysis on securities and market evolution. These programs are not always kept pace with the dynamic characteristic of the bags, but as you find the right software would be to make money millionaires, scientists (and companies) do not stop to test new products: the goal is to Krishnen Vytelingum University of of Southampton who, along with colleagues from the University of Bristol, has developed a trading program better than 5% of the existing ones is more dynamic (changing his aggression on the behavior of other agents) and can set the choices on the basis of 'analysis of past periods.

particularly studied computer chess: also because it allows applications in other fields, from telephone to psychology. Italian Giancarlo Delli Colli is the author of the software Equinox (last Genoa Science Festival has challenged the two chess players Sedina Elena and Igor Efimov). There was also a game between the two programs Equinox and arrow, this one an Italian, Gemma Stefano, won the first. The intelligent software will also replace your doctor or scientist. The robot scientist Adam of Aberystwyth University and Cambridge University (UK) has developed a research hypothesis, verified and repeated the experiment.

There is also a journalist-robot, a program developed capable of writing articles, for now only sport (baseball). The project, called Stats Monkey, is the Intelligent Information Laboratory at Northwestern University in America: everything you need, it seems, are crawlers that mixed expressions of human language and references to previous articles. As a sports article contains standard information, the system can generate text automatically, including the title and pictures.

Science fiction? No: the California-based company Demand Media, which has partnered with Google, believes in journalism, on-demand, generated - at least in part - to the computer. The algorithm searches through the media demand of search terms entered on Google, identifies the keywords on which to link advertisers and produces thousands of topics for articles and videos that match what is required on the web. The story is then developed by freelancer "human" - at least for now.

And in Italy? "The Italian leads the robotics community, and counting the supremacy in Germany, France and Sweden. We do not lack the brains, our problem is resources and facilities, "he says Stefano Chiaverini, director of the Department of Automation, Electromagnetism, Information Engineering and Industrial Mathematics, University of Cassino.

The ministerial funds are low (10 million euro for the whole area of \u200b\u200bindustrial engineering and information), but thanks to the Seventh Framework Programme EU robotics has obtained 400 million, of which approximately 10% will return to Italy . "The University of Naples Federico II, together with my university, the Second University of Naples, the University of Salerno, the University and the University of Basilicata Roma Tre, is a partner of a large European project on robotics, Echord, led by the Technical University of Monaco, who has received the most funding ever given to the EU industry (19 million euro). Echord put emphasis on targeted research to industrial application, facilitating technology transfer from labs to companies, "concludes Chiaverini," just so the programs become robots and consumer electronics products.

Privacy sensitive data and use Google in trouble in Germany

The German government is preparing an offensive against Google Analytics, the system used by 1.8 million sites in Germany - and quite common in Italy - to measure its traffic online. This was stated by the newspaper Die Zeit online, according to which federal authorities could even get to impose fines of up to € 50 thousand for the sites that they continue to use the Google.

In the target of the federal and the Länder that are responsible for data protection of the privacy of citizens, is over the tool that collects information about users browsing the Internet. According to its use would be contrary to German law, even if you do not have defined the measures to be taken to encourage site managers to abandon it.

Two objections to Analytics. First, the system combining the data from use of Sites users with other information collected through Google services, such as Gmail, share them with third parties, for failing to provide the user the ability to withhold consent. The fear of authority is that Google is able to derive the profiles of millions of Internet users visited sites by rebuilding their interests, their lifestyle, habits, health conditions. This ID card would also be connected to an IP address, then - in short, say the authorities guarantee - to an individual.

Secondly, they are concerned that the information is stored by Google on servers located on American soil. This would violate the law German requirements. For

Meyerdierks responsible for the safety of data for Google in Germany, disputes this reading. The Safe Harbor Agreement between the EU and the U.S., says poravoce ensures that data is stored in an appropriate manner. As for profiling, the ability for users to delete cookies, small pieces of code that remain on your computer when surfing the internet allowing our traceability, putting them safe from unwanted profiling. That would in any case anonymous.

is expected that the German federal and state authorities to take a final decision within a week. Analytcs is one of the most used by Google's free webmaster. In Germania lo adotta il 13% dei siti, in Italia gli utenti sono centinaia di migliaia. Le informazioni che ne derivano sono utilizzate anche da altri software del motore di ricerca, come ad esempio AdPlanner, che consente agli investitori di pianificare inserzioni e campagne pubblicitarie.

L'episodio tedesco è solo l'ultimo di una serie di addebiti dei paesi europei contro Google. Sotto accusa non solo la privacy, ma anche il pagamento delle tasse sui ricavi generati in Europa e il presunto abuso di posizione dominante nel mercato della ricerca e della pubblicità. A questo proposito nell'agosto scorso l'Antitrust italiano, dopo una segnalazione della Fieg, l'associazione degli editori, ha aperto un'istruttoria che è ancora in corso.

ALL DIFFERENT ALL EQUAL

November 25 was declared DAY AGAINST VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN UN.

Within an economic crisis that crushes us by many sexist violence emerge with much greater strength than before.

Become once again to raise your voice at every opportunity to emphasize the importance of being protected by law especially in times like these where the cultural problem is answered by securitarian laws that are intended to indicate the alien monster slam on the front page and above out of our world.

But the event (which will be in Rome on 28 and 29 in other cities) will take place in the Women and our need for freedom and representation in family

(main place where the violence takes place) on
work, where job insecurity and layoffs, dismantle the welfare state by making it harder for women to achieve economic independence that would allow a more rapid closing with a violent situation.

Part of this application, the next group meeting organized by "Women of Reality" at the International Women's House in Rome, Via della Lungara 19.

The starting point of the organizers is well summarized by the name the group chose to give themselves: "Women of Reality," in contrast with the false stereotypes suggested by the media system. Italian newspapers and the media, increasingly the dominant female model is that of a woman who seems to have only one goal the seduction of the male more rich and powerful as possible.

The public forum scheduled for Saturday, November 21 starting at 17, aims to speak of "other women", and examine how the media can give visibility to the multiplicity of women's experiences and take a role of analysis and criticism of current events. This is the second meeting of the "Women of Reality," after what took place in Milan on October 5 with the presence of more than 200 people.

The meeting on Saturday to join many journalists and personalities from the world of culture.

We begin with an introductory report by Chiara Volpato, Professor of Social Psychology at Bicocca in Milan, and the philosopher Michael Marzano, a signatory along with the appeal Nadia Urbinati and Barbara Spinelli Republic of the dignity of women.

The forum will be screened also some photo galleries of women "offended by the Premier" who have sent their photos to our site.

Among others, are invited to the meeting director of TG3, Bianca Berlinguer, President of the Democratic Party, Rosy Bindi, confederal secretary of the CGIL, Susanna Camusso, the Director of the Unit, Conchita De Gregorio, the director of Espresso, Daniela Hamaui, the director of the Century in Italy, Flavia Perina, general secretary of the UGL Renata Polverini, writer Lidia Ravera, President of Cpo Fnsi Lucia Visca.

The meeting involved - as the promoters of the project "Free to be" - even Scrocca and Tiziana Chiara Casarico, which on Oct. 28, at the conclusion of the project, will present at the Teatro di Roma Arvalia the show The Daughters of Scheherazade, The NaufragarMèDolce company.
