source: https://www.independent.co.uk/advisor/vpn/cybercrime-statistics

It’s a battle for individuals and smaller companies just as much as it is for big organisations; as the digital space is expanding and as #AI is impacting our everyday lives, hackers are getting more inventive every day. And, if you’re not convinced that cybercrime is going to be an issue in your life, the statistics below will change your mind.

With the security quality of our software, the internet is only running because it is more profitable for cybercriminals to keep the internet running for ramsonware attacks.

Secretary-General António Guterres: “Conflicts are raging and multiplying, from the #MiddleEast to #Ukraine and #Sudan, with no end in sight. Our collective security system is threatened by geopolitical divides, nuclear posturing and the development of new weapons and theaters of war. Resources that could bring opportunities and hope are invested in death and destruction.”

#3Movies about our future with #AI worth watching …

1) Maybe you know one of the opening scenes from 2001 ( ) where the apes invented the first tool with the bones. Then an ape throws a bone into the air and in the next cut you can see a space station orbiting the earth. This is a metaphor for the fact that we invented the tool first and then later we can no longer live without our tool. Although not as brilliantly as in 2001, the film recommended here poses the question of whether AI is still a tool or whether humans have already become a tool for AI? A.I.

2) If AI controls everything for us in the near future, will everything be easier for us or can it be more difficult? Afraid: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/1062215-afraid

"We're going to have supervision," Ellison said. "Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there's a problem, AI will report that #problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on."

Debate in nuclear-armed former colony fails to reassure global community
The televised face-off between the leading candidates for US #president amplified widespread concerns over the state of #democracy in the troubled North American nation.

Held in the relatively stable northeastern state of #Pennsylvania on the eve of the 23rd anniversary of the country’s worst terrorist #attack, the debate was a chance to showcase the democratic progress the country had made since the violent, shambolic elections and attempted #coup nearly four years ago.

In a submission to the international criminal court on Monday, they propose a change in the rules to recognise “ecocide” as a crime alongside #genocide and war crimes.

If successful, the change could allow for the prosecution of individuals who have brought about environmental destruction, such as the heads of large #polluting companies, or heads of state.

The video depicts resistance to #Filho's request to get information to statically encode file system interface semantics in Rust bindings, as a way to reduce errors. Ts'o's objection is that C code will continue to evolve, and those changes may break the Rust bindings – and he doesn't want the responsibility of fixing them if that happens.

“Heatwaves are the deadliest type of extreme #weather but they don’t leave a trail of destruction or striking images of devastation. They kill poor, lonely people in rich countries, and poor people working outdoors in developing countries,” said Otto, who is also a senior lecturer in #climate science at the Grantham Institute of Imperial College #London. “In the last 13 months, there will be thousands and thousands of stories of poor people dying in heat that will never be told.”
