Klare und deutliche Worte des israelischen Spezialisten Yair Ramati, dass für eine effektive Drohnenabwehr weit mehr und anderes als einige zusätzliche Polizeibefugnisse nötig ist. www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/droh...

Drohnen: „Ich würde generell nicht empfehlen, sie abzuschießen“

Drohnen bedrohen europäische Städte. Yair Ramati war beteiligt an der Entwicklung von Israels „Iron Dome“. Deutschland, sagt er, fehlen Ressourcen zur elektronischen Kriegsführung.

Indeed the question of whether or not AI would respond to which kind of incentives, and under what conditions, requires consideration.

Inspiring interview! On investing in a country that has imposed tariffs, hoping to attract foreign investors in the long term: In a world of coopetition among countries, investments decisions involve many other aspects, too. The hope seems risky thus, at least.

Great piece! Do you think a power up to exceed human intelligence could be regulated at all just by the latter? Or which incentives does it have to build its own AI regulatory system? Could we in case, influence that better than when educating humans, which obviously comes with many problems?

Cyber security of vital infrastructure is a general, high-level security issue. Strategy and action seem to be needed at EU-level, e.g., by @andriuskubilius.ec.europa.eu and others. For open societies, maybe the mentioned testing of AI-supported digital-twins might offer a promising starting point.

A pre-Trump read Steve Hanson and I wrote for today's New York Times. "Trump aims not to streamline modern state bureaucracies, but rather to replace them with a much older form of rule based on personal loyalty to the ruler."

To survive another Trump administration, international institutions must learn to bend instead of break, write Allison Carnegie and Richard Clark. “The stakes are simply too high for global organizations to not be proactive.”

With nationalists ascendant, international organizations must learn to bend—so they don’t break.
