Buona sera
Ho appena finito di leggere
Cyber Threats and Nuclear Weapons
https://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=34611
di Herbert Lin; pubblicato dalla Stanford University Press.
Il libro e' stato pubblicato alcune settimane fa; e' molto aggiornato;
sebbene focalizzato esclusivamente sulla situazione USA, coglie gli
aspetti principali del problema del collegamento fra cyberwar e
complesso nucleare---NC3 incluso, ma anche altro---e i rischi di
escalation nucleare causata o collegata ad attività nel cyberspace.
Ne suggerisco la lettura. In particolare, ne raccomando la lettura a chi
si occupa di armamenti e/o disarmo nucleare e vuole capire la relazione
fra questi sistemi di arma e le armi informatiche, ma anche agli
informatici che vogliono approfondire questioni legate all'impatto,
perfino esistenziale, della tecnologia di loro competenza.
L'autore (https://cisac.fsi.stanford.edu/people/herbert_lin ) e' Senior
Research Scholar at the Center for International Security and
Cooperation (CISAC) della Stanford University e Hank J. Holland Fellow
in Cyber Policy and Security, Hoover Institution.
Collabora con il Bulletin of Atomic Scientists
(https://thebulletin.org/biography/herbert-lin/ ).
Buona lettura e Buon Anno
Diego

===================
The quest for a war-free world has a basic purpose: survival. But if in
the process we learn how to achieve it by love rather than by fear, by
kindness rather than compulsion; if in the process we learn how to
combine the essential with the enjoyable, the expedient with the
benevolent, the practical with the beautiful, this will be an extra
incentive to embark on this great task.
Above all, remember your humanity.
-- Sir Joseph Rotblat
I don't quite know whether it is especially computer science or its
subdiscipline Artificial Intelligence that has such an enormous
affection for euphemism. We speak so spectacularly and so readily of
computer systems that understand, that see, decide, make judgments, and
so on, without ourselves recognizing our own superficiality and
immeasurable naivete with respect to these concepts. And, in the process
of so speaking, we anesthetise our ability to evaluate the quality of
our work and, what is more important, to identify and become conscious
of its end use. […] One can't escape this state without asking, again
and again: "What do I actually do? What is the final application and use
of the products of my work?" and ultimately, "am I content or ashamed to
have contributed to this use?"
-- Prof. Joseph Weizenbaum ["Not without us", ACM SIGCAS 16(2-3) 2--7 -
Aug. 1986]
