Global Cybersecurity and International Law (Routledge Research in Information Technology and E-Commerce Law)
by Antonio Segura SerranoThis book offers a critical analysis of cybersecurity from a legal-international point of view.Assessing the need to regulate cyberspace has triggered the re-emergence of new primary norms. This book evaluates the ability of existing international law to address the threat and use of force in cyberspace, redefining cyberwar and cyberpeace for the era of the Internet of Things. Covering critical issues such as the growing scourge of economic cyberespionage, international co-operation to fight cybercrime, the use of foreign policy instruments in cyber diplomacy, it also looks at state backed malicious cyberoperations, and the protection of human rights against State security activities. Offering a holistic examination of the ability of public international law, the book addresses the most pressing issues in global cybersecurity.Reflecting on the reforms necessary from international institutions, like the United Nations, the European Union, the Council of Europe, and NATO, in order to provide new answers to the critical issues in global cybersecurity and international law, this book will be of interest to academics, students and practitioners.
Oh, Bother: Winnie-the-Pooh is Befuddled, Too (A Smackerel-Sized Parody of Modern Life)
by Jennie EgerdieWelcome back to the Hundred Acre Wood as Winnie-the-Pooh and friends acclimate to the joys and worries of the 21st century in this heartfelt parody. The world has changed in the hundred years since A. A. Milne introduced us to Winnie-the-Pooh and his pals, but that doesn&’t mean our lovable friends haven&’t adapted to life in the twenty-first century. In this heartwarming, laugh-out-loud parody, Jennie Egerdie, author of the celebrated Frog and Toad are Doing Their Best, takes us along for some marvelous misadventures as the gang grapples with modern life&’s headaches and pesky predicaments. Like the rest of us, Pooh worries about what the dwindling bee population will do to his beloved honey, while Owl discovers how far too easily misinformation can spread online. Kanga hopes she can have a night off from raising Roo, and Eeyore is finally taking care of his mental health with the help of Dr Festinker, the neighborhood therapist (and skunk). Things may not always make sense in our world, but Winnie-the-Pooh always bounds ahead, day by day and smackeral by smackeral.

Moral AI: And How We Get There (Pelican Books)
by Jana Schaich Borg Walter Sinnott-Armstrong Vincent ConitzerA balanced and thought-provoking guide to all the big questions about AI and ethics Can computers understand morality? Can they respect privacy? And what can we do to make AI safe and fair? The artificial intelligence revolution has begun. Today, there are self-driving cars on our streets, autonomous weapons in our armies, robot surgeons in our hospitals – and AI's presence in our lives will only increase. Some see this as the dawn of a new era in innovation and ease; others are alarmed by its destructive potential. But one thing is clear: this is a technology like no other, one that raises profound questions about the very definitions of human intelligence and morality. In Moral AI, world-renowned researchers in moral psychology, philosophy, and artificial intelligence – Jana Schaich Borg, Walter Sinnott-Armstrong and Vincent Conitzer – tackle these thorny issues head-on. Writing lucidly and calmly, they lay out the recent advances in this still nascent field, peeling away the exaggeration and misleading arguments. Instead, they offer clear examinations of the moral concerns at the heart of AI programs, from racial equity to personal privacy, fake news to autonomous weaponry. Ultimately, they argue that artificial intelligence can be built and used safely and ethically, but that its potential cannot be achieved without careful reflection on the values we wish to imbue it with. This is an essential primer for any thinking person.
How AI Thinks: How we built it, how it can help us, and how we can control it
by Nigel ToonTHE #2 TIMES BESTSELLER'Artificial intelligence is going to have a massive impact on everyone’s lives... an accessible and sensible read that helps demystify AI' Deborah Meaden, entrepreneur and star of Dragon's Den'Nigel Toon is a visionary leader in the field of artificial intelligence... a must-read' Marc Tremblay, Distinguished Engineer, MicrosoftThose who understand how AI thinks are about to win big.We are used to thinking of computers as being a step up from calculators - very good at storing information, and maybe even at playing a logical game like chess. But up to now they haven't been able to think in ways that are intuitive, or respond to questions as a human might. All that has changed, dramatically, in the past few years.Our search engines are becoming answer engines. Artificial intelligence is already revolutionising sectors from education to healthcare to the creative arts. But how does an AI understand sentiment or context? How does it play and win games that have an almost infinite number of moves? And how can we work with AI to produce insights and innovations that are beyond human capacity, from writing code in an instant to unfolding the elaborate 3D puzzles of proteins?We stand at the brink of a historic change that will disrupt society and at the same time create enormous opportunities for those who understand how AI thinks. Nigel Toon shows how we train AI to train itself, so that it can paint images that have never existed before or converse in any language. In doing so he reveals the strange and fascinating ways that humans think, too, as we learn how to live in a world shared by machine intelligences of our own creation.

Emerging Trends for Securing Cyber Physical Systems and the Internet of Things (Future Generation Information Systems)
by Bharat Bhushan Sudhir Kumar Sharma Parma Nand Achyut Shankar Ahmed J. ObaidIn the past decades, cyber-physical systems (CPSs) have been widely applied to fields such as smart grids, environment monitoring, aerospace, smart transportation, and industrial automation. Great strides have been made in CPSs to improve the computing mechanism, communication, and quality of service by applying optimization algorithms. Currently, these efforts are integrated with the applications of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). To maintain system reliability and stability, CPSs such as smart grids face numerous challenges, including large-scale Internet-of-Things (IoT) device adaptation, ever-increasing demands of electrical energy, and the rise of a wide range of security threats. These challenges bring forth the need to find sustainable and advanced solutions to guarantee reliable and secure operations in these systems.The goal of this book is to foster transformative, multidisciplinary, and novel approaches that ensure CPS security by taking into consideration the unique security challenges present in the environment. This book attracts contributions in all aspects pertaining to this multidisciplinary paradigm, which includes the development and implementation of Smart CPS, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, CPS for Industry 4.0, CPS architecture for IoT applications, and CPS forensics.This book: Discusses concepts including wireless sensor networks (WSNs), CPSs, and the IoT in a comprehensive manner. Covers routing protocols in sensor networks, attacks, and vulnerabilities in WSNs, the Internet of Cyber-Physical Things, and CPSs for industrial applications. Highlights technological advances, practical solutions, emerging trends, and prototypes related to privacy in CPSs and the IoT. Presents a pathway and architecture for proactive security schemes in CPSs to counter vulnerabilities, including phishing attacks, malware injection, internal stealing of data, and hacking. Discusses the most recent research and development on the enabling technologies for IoT-based CPSs. Owing to the scope and diversity of topics covered, the book will be of interest not only to researchers and theorists but also to professionals, material developers, technology specialists, and methodologists dealing with the multifarious aspects of data privacy and security enhancement in CPSs. The book will provide these professionals an overview of CPS security and privacy design, as well as enlighten them to promising solutions to research problems such as cyberattacks in CPS, risk identification and management in CPS, ML-based trust computational models for CPSs, nature-inspired algorithms for CPSs, and distributed consensus algorithms for event detection in CPSs. The secondary target audience of this book includes legal practitioners, hackers, cyber law policymakers, cyber forensic analysts, and global security consortiums who may use it to further their research exposure to pertinent topics in cybersecurity.
