FOREWORD AICGS is pleased to present the written results of the third and final year of its project “A German- American Dialogue of the Next Generation: Global Responsibility, Joint Engagement.” The six authors together with several other young Americans and Germans engaged with each other during the course of 2018-2019 in discussions to identify solutions to global issues of concern for the transatlantic relationship. The purpose of the project is to emphasize the important role of the next generation of transatlantic leaders and experts and to give them a platform and voice in the critical dialogue of crucial global issues that require joint transatlantic attention and solutions. The project participants come from a variety of disciplines and have a wide array of expertise. Representing the three AICGS program areas—Foreign & Domestic Policy; Geoeconomics; and Society, Culture & Politics—the participants formulated a set of recommendations that were presented in a variety of venues and through innovative means. The essays presented in this Policy Report summarize the outcome of a year-long engagement with current critical transatlantic issues, which include challenges and opportunities related to the digital transformation, the future of work and education of the workforce, the rise of China as a global player, the growing influence of Russia, populism, the energy transition, European defense capabilities, transatlantic security cooperation, the inclusion of minority and immigrant populations, as well as the role of civil society in strengthening the transatlantic alliance. The project’s goal has been to highlight the perspectives of the next generation of transatlanticists and to broaden the public debate about important issues. Digital media form a crucial element of the project. With frequent blogs, virtual meetings, tweets, and videos, AICGS is targeting new and established generations in order to draw them into the fold of the transatlantic circle. The project ultimately hopes to contribute to maintaining and expanding the transatlantic bond between the United States and Germany during and beyond a period of fraught relations. AICGS is grateful to this year’s participants for their enthusiasm and engagement as well as their innovative and creative contributions, which have made this project such a success.

  • AI PRINCIPLES in CONTEXT: Tensions and Opportunities for the United States and China
    Written by Jessica Cussins Newman August 2020 AI PRINCIPLES IN CONTEXT: Tensions and Opportunities for the United States and China INTRODUCTION Over the past five years, awareness of the transformative impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) on societies, policies, and economies around the world has been increasing. Unique challenges posed by AI include the rise of synthetic media (text, audio, images, and video content);1 insufficient transparency in the automation of decision making in complex environments;2 the amplification of social biases from training data and design GAINING A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF choices, causing disparate outcomes for 3 THE CULTURAL AND POLITICAL CONTEXT different races, genders, and other groups; and SURROUNDING KEY AI PRINCIPLES CAN the vulnerability of AI models to cyberattacks HELP CLARIFY WHICH PRINCIPLES PROVIDE such as data poisoning.4 Awareness of these and PRODUCTIVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR numerous other challenges has led to serious POTENTIAL COOPERATION. deliberation about the principles needed to guide AI development and use. By some counts, there are now more than 160 AI principles and guidelines globally.5 Because these principles have emerged from different stakeholders with unique histories and motivations, their style and substance vary. Some documents include recommendations or voluntary commitments, while a smaller subset includes binding agreements or enforcement mechanisms. Despite the differences, arguably a consensus has also been growing around key thematic trends, including privacy, accountability, safety and security, transparency and explainability (meaning that the results and decisions made by an AI system can be understood by humans), fairness and nondiscrimination, human control of technology, professional responsibility, and promotion of human values.6 However, in the face of complex and growing the United States and China.

  • Authors' Pre-Publication Copy Dated March 7, 2021 This Article Has Been
    Authors’ pre-publication copy dated March 7, 2021 This article has been accepted for publication in Volume 19, Issue 1 of the Northwestern Journal of Technology & Intellectual Property (Fall 2021) Artificial Intelligence as Evidence1 ABSTRACT This article explores issues that govern the admissibility of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) applications in civil and criminal cases, from the perspective of a federal trial judge and two computer scientists, one of whom also is an experienced attorney. It provides a detailed yet intelligible discussion of what AI is and how it works, a history of its development, and a description of the wide variety of functions that it is designed to accomplish, stressing that AI applications are ubiquitous, both in the private and public sector. Applications today include: health care, education, employment-related decision-making, finance, law enforcement, and the legal profession. The article underscores the importance of determining the validity of an AI application (i.e., how accurately the AI measures, classifies, or predicts what it is designed to), as well as its reliability (i.e., the consistency with which the AI produces accurate results when applied to the same or substantially similar circumstances), in deciding whether it should be admitted into evidence in civil and criminal cases. The article further discusses factors that can affect the validity and reliability of AI evidence, including bias of various types, “function creep,” lack of transparency and explainability, and the sufficiency of the objective testing of the AI application before it is released for public use. The article next provides an in-depth discussion of the evidentiary principles that govern whether AI evidence should be admitted in court cases, a topic which, at present, is not the subject of comprehensive analysis in decisional law.

  • The Role of Technology in Online Misinformation Sarah Kreps
    THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN ONLINE MISINFORMATION SARAH KREPS JUNE 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY States have long interfered in the domestic politics of other states. Foreign election interference is nothing new, nor are misinformation campaigns. The new feature of the 2016 election was the role of technology in personalizing and then amplifying the information to maximize the impact. As a 2019 Senate Select Committee on Intelligence report concluded, malicious actors will continue to weaponize information and develop increasingly sophisticated tools for personalizing, targeting, and scaling up the content. This report focuses on those tools. It outlines the logic of digital personalization, which uses big data to analyze individual interests to determine the types of messages most likely to resonate with particular demographics. The report speaks to the role of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and neural networks in creating tools that distinguish quickly between objects, for example a stop sign versus a kite, or in a battlefield context, a combatant versus a civilian. Those same technologies can also operate in the service of misinformation through text prediction tools that receive user inputs and produce new text that is as credible as the original text itself. The report addresses potential policy solutions that can counter digital personalization, closing with a discussion of regulatory or normative tools that are less likely to be effective in countering the adverse effects of digital technology. INTRODUCTION and machine learning about user behavior to manipulate public opinion, allowed social media Meddling in domestic elections is nothing new as bots to target individuals or demographics known a tool of foreign influence.

  • From the GDPR) the United States Should Adopt to Advance Economic Justice
    Five Privacy Principles (from the GDPR) the United States Should Adopt To Advance Economic Justice Michele E. Gilman* ABSTRACT Algorithmic profiling technologies are impeding the economic security of low-income people in the United States. Based on their digital profiles, low- income people are targeted for predatory marketing campaigns and financial products. At the same time, algorithmic decision-making can result in their exclusion from mainstream employment, housing, financial, health care, and educational opportunities. Government agencies are turning to algorithms to apportion social services, yet these algorithms lack transparency, leaving thousands of people adrift without state support and not knowing why. Marginalized communities are also subject to disproportionately high levels of surveillance, including facial recognition technology and the use of predictive policing software. American privacy law is no bulwark against these profiling harms, instead placing the onus of protecting personal data on individuals while leaving government and businesses largely free to collect, analyze, share, and sell personal data. By contrast, in the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives EU residents numerous, enforceable rights to control their personal data. Spurred in part by the GDPR, Congress is debating whether to adopt comprehensive privacy legislation in the United States. This article contends that the GDPR contains several provisions that have the potential to limit digital discrimination against the poor, while enhancing their economic stability and mobility. The GDPR provides the following: (1) the right to an explanation about automated decision-making; (2) the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated profiling; (3) the right to be forgotten; (4) opportunities for public participation in data processing programs; and (5) robust implementation * Venable Professor of Law and Director, Saul Ewing Civil Advocacy Clinic, University of Baltimore School of Law; Faculty Fellow, Data & Society.

Visky (Eds.) requires prior written permission by NATOCCD COE. 2020 © NATO CCDCOE Publications, Tallinn The Next Generation of Cyber-Enabled Information Warfare Kim Hartmann Keir Giles Conflict Studies Research Centre Conflict Studies Research Centre [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: Malign influence campaigns leveraging cyber capabilities have caused significant political disruption in the United States and elsewhere; but the next generation of campaigns could be considerably more damaging as a result of the widespread use of machine learning. Current methods for successfully waging these campaigns depend on labour-intensive human interaction with targets. The introduction of machine learning, and potentially artificial intelligence (AI), will vastly enhance capabilities for automating the reaching of mass audiences with tailored and plausible content. Consequently, they will render malicious actors even more powerful. Tools for making use of machine learning in information operations are developing at an extraordinarily rapid pace, and are becoming rapidly more available and affordable for a much wider variety of users. Until early 2018 it was assumed that the utilisation of AI methods by cyber criminals was not to be expected soon, because those methods rely on vast datasets, correspondingly vast computational power, or both, and demanded highly specialised skills and knowledge.

  • Tackling Deepfakes in European Policy
    Tackling deepfakes in European policy STUDY Panel for the Future of Science and Technology EPRS | European Parliamentary Research Service Scientific Foresight Unit (STOA) PE 690.039 – July 2021 EN Tackling deepfakes in European policy The emergence of a new generation of digitally manipulated media capable of generating highly realistic videos – also known as deepfakes – has generated substantial concerns about possible misuse. In response to these concerns, this report assesses the technical, societal and regulatory aspects of deepfakes. The assessment of the underlying technologies for deepfake videos, audio and text synthesis shows that they are developing rapidly, and are becoming cheaper and more accessible by the day. The rapid development and spread of deepfakes is taking place within the wider context of a changing media system. An assessment of the risks associated with deepfakes shows that they can be psychological, financial and societal in nature, and their impacts can range from the individual to the societal level. The report identifies five dimensions of the deepfake lifecycle that policy-makers could take into account to prevent and address the adverse impacts of deepfakes. The legislative framework on artificial intelligence (AI) proposed by the European Commission presents an opportunity to mitigate some of these risks, although regulation should not focus on the technological dimension of deepfakes alone. The report includes policy options under each of the five dimensions, which could be incorporated into the AI legislative framework, the proposed European Union digital services act package and beyond. A combination of measures will likely be necessary to limit the risks of deepfakes, while harnessing their potential.

A Break From Reality: Modernizing Authentication Standards for Digital Video Evidence in the Era of Deepfakes Abstract The legal standard for authenticating photographic and video evidence in court has remained largely static throughout the evolution of media technology in the twentieth century. The advent of “deepfakes,” or fake videos created using artificial intelligence programming, renders outdated many of the assumptions that the Federal Rules of Evidence are built upon. Rule 901(b)(1) provides a means to authenticate evidence through the testimony of a “witness with knowledge.” Courts commonly admit photographic and video evidence by using the “fair and accurate portrayal” standard to meet this Rule’s intent.
