Dr. Andreas Boes, Vorstandsmitglied des MCIR, hat Anfang Oktober einen Vortrag für die Daimler und Benz Stiftung in Berlin gehalten.
Den Soziologen Andreas Boes interessiert, was die deutsche Wirtschaft vom Silicon Valley lernen kann und worauf es ankommt bei einer verantwortungsvollen und nachhaltigen Gestaltung der digitalen Arbeitswelt. Er plädiert für „einen eigenständigen europäischen Entwicklungsweg, der die notwendige Bereitschaft zu disruptiven Veränderungen mit einer konsequenten Orientierung auf soziale Stabilität zu verbinden hätte.“

Internal MCIR talk
Alei Salem, TUM : “Machine Learning Demystified”
Despite being utilized within a myriad of industries and domains, the artificial intelligence field of machine learning depicts a vague, mysterious blackbox for a variety of individuals. In this talk, we shall unravel the mystries associated with machine learning by discussing its meaning, objectives, and capabilities. By the end of this talk–and without delving into technical details–the audience should have a basic understanding of what machine learning is, what it is capable of, whether it can be beneficial within their respective fields of research, and how it can be applied to such fields.

Internal MCIR talk on transparency:
Alexander Pretschner: How I know you printed my email
This overview talk tackles the problem of specifying, monitoring and enforcing data usage requirements of the kind, “print my email at most twice,” “notify me upon dissemination of my address,” “no more than three copies of a confidential document in the company,” “delete all copies of a movie within thirty days,” “keep financial record for five years,” and the like.
We discuss typical policies as well as an enforcement infrastructure that can act both after the fact, for accountability purposes, and preventively. It builds on two main ideas. First, requirements come at various levels of abstraction: prohibiting screenshots, writing files, playing songs, and copying database rows can most conveniently observed and controlled by monitors at different layers of abstraction: window manager, operating system, application, database. Second, when data is to be protected, usually all of its representations are meant to be protected: a picture comes as network packets, pix map, cache file, DOM object. This requires information flow tracking technology across the layers of a system and across systems.
The intention of this talk is to start a discussion on joint projects on transparency.
