Palestra sobre como o impacto econômico da Inteligência Artificial vai tornar o pensamento crítico, a comunicação e criatividade em recursos escassos no mercado de trabalho
The genius of Daniel Susskind’s book, A World Without Work, lies in its ability to make a complex subject like labor economics and impact of automation, accessible to the lay reader. Even if you have no background in economics and lead a prosaic life, like most people, this book will expand your mental horizons.
Management has served us well. Since the Industrial Revolution it has paved the way for a sustained and accelerating rise in living standards unheard of and unforeseen. But with the ‘digital revolution’, we are entering
a new era where the logic of industrial-age organisation has lost its purchase.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, COGNITIVE TECHNOLOGIES AND DIGITAL LABOREmmanuel Gillain
bring a simple and concise summary of what the cognitive technologies enabling “Digital Labor” mean in order to raise the awareness level amongst the non technical people that care about the technology impacts on business, economy and society.
New giants like Amazon, Google, Apple, and
Facebook, along with emerging ones like Uber and
Airbnb, reap the benefits of new phenomena: the
“winner take all” network effects. Advancing technology
will leave no aspect of working and private life unaffected
— as many more of us will learn as automation
expands beyond manual and service work and into
the realm of knowledge work. With this article the blog series on HBR for the Drucker Forum 2015 was kicked off.

Bretton Woods of the Knowledge Economy - IFKAD Keynote 2009 (Scotland)Debra M. Amidon
This presentation poses the current economic meltdown in a 'trapeze parable' - suspension between the old rules that do not apply and the new ones to be innovated. Content includes: the new Triple Knowledge Lens (TKL) for performance, provides a tour of Knowledge Innovation Zones (KIZ) worldwide, and suggests a P7 KIZ Blueprint to operationalize knowledge innovation programs. The conclusion makes the case for a new Bretton Woods to capitalize upon the challenges and opportunities afforded by a Knowledge Economy.
Great report from Accenture. AI and ML are shaping human capabilities to ensure a better human/machine collaboration. This is how CEOs and CIOs should look at talent to take fully advantage of the new technologies.
Entrepreneurial super intelligence AERC 2017 Paper Mar-11-17Hunter Hastings
Entrepreneurs are the drivers of the market economy. They will be augmented by artificial intelligence and strengthened by technologies of disintermediation, peer-to-peer collaboration and cloud access to productive capital, resulting in a future of greater economic freedom, economic growth and individual sovereignty.

As the prominent philosopher Jerry, Kaplan puts it “Viewpoint Artificial Intelligence Think Again” (Jerry, 2017). The purpose is that we need to use more hand-working and we do not need Artificial Intelligence replace our brain. Firstly, Social and cultural conventions are an often-neglected aspect of intelligent-machine development. (1) The DOMINANT PUBLIC narrative about artificial intelligence is that we are building increasingly intelligent ma- chines that will ultimately surpass human capabilities, steal our jobs, possibly even escape human control and kill us all. This misguided perception, not widely shared by AI researchers, runs a significant risk of delaying or derailing practical applications and influencing public policy in counterproductive ways.

So the robots are certainly coming, but not quite in the way most people think. Concerns that they are going to obsolete us, rise up, and take over, are misguided at best.

My keynote at the 2018 New Profit Gathering of Leaders conference in Boston on May 17, 2018. I talk about the lessons from technology platforms, how they teach us what is wrong with our economy, and the possibilities of AI for creating better, fairer, more effective decisions about "who gets what and why" in the economy.
In just under 50 years, computers have gone from frightening behemoths to countercultural totems to everyday consumer fashion accessories. The history of new media helps us understand why it is so ideologically powerful today.

Digital Authoritarianism: Implications, Ethics, and SafegaurdsAndy Aukerman
Artificial intelligence, or AI, constitutes a common motif in science fiction literature – the aspect of a “robot uprising”, where AI becomes sufficiently advanced such that it surpasses human intelligence and escapes human control. Common perceptions of AI focus on the ethical and human impacts of a malevolent, artificially intelligent agent itself. In this document, I wish to instead focus on an equally important, and, I will argue, more plausible case of sufficiently advanced AI which poses immense risk to human activity: the use of AI in conjunction with big data for authoritarian rule and population control. In these scenarios, AI has no agency, and instead serves as a sufficiently advanced and intelligent tool for human agents. Throughout this document, I summarize current and potential applications of this type of AI, explore the ethical ramifications, and last, propose and evaluate solutions and safeguards.

No jobs for humans: How to survive and thrive the transition to the all robot...AJ Davis
Many experts believed driving was too complex to be automated, yet here we are with self driving taxis, cars, and trucks. The robots are coming for drivers - and they are coming for you too. No matter what your job, a robot WILL do it. They will be stronger, faster, and smarter than you. They will be better writers, better doctors, and run companies more effectively.
We can delay the inevitable by shutting down borders and subsidizing losing industries, but we will not stop robots from replacing human labor (nor should we). The challenge is in the transition from a human labor to the robot run economy. Many people will struggle to find new places for their skills, and the result could be increased income inequality, increased violence, and an uprooted sense of self.
In this talk, we’ll explore our responsibility as technologists to be aware of and address this inevitable transition to a robot labor force.

Level 1 Individual EcologyWe will measure 3 characteristics o.docxsmile790243
Level 1: Individual Ecology
We will measure 3 characteristics of individuals in 3 locations along the Upper Winter Creek trail. We will measure DBH (Diameter at Breast Height), tree height, and leaf size. Each team will have to choose their own methods for each measurement and be sure to verify the precision, accuracy and bias. There is a freeware Image J program developed by the NIH described in a file attached to this module for leaf area measurement but you are welcome to try any app or other method you prefer.
Level 2: Population Ecology
We will document age structure using the DBH data and we will measure dispersion of the population. Once again each team will choose a method for each. 2 methods for calculating dispersion are described in file attached to this module.
Level 3: Community Ecology
We will measure species richness and species diversity using a species count and a calculation each of which, once again, will determined by each team.
The final product will be a scientific poster with all of your data and and explanation of the synthesis of all 3 levels of ecology we sampled. This will be communicated as a concept map with graphs of your data verifying the relationships among the components. This is the first step in making a predictive systems model, like a climate model.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

2. Production in the second machine age depends less on physical
equipment and structures and more on the four categories of
intangible assets : intellectual property , organizational capital ,
user - generated content , and human capital .
Inteligência artificial: tecnologia que
permite inovações recombinantes
3. Lucro por funcionário da Foxconn = U$ 2.730 (1.200.000 funcionários)

9. O “lugar” também é importante.
Somente ensinar novos skills
técnicos não é garantia de
sucesso
“The evidence is thin that job training in the United
States is an effective way to lead laid-off workers back
into solid employment.”
12. A maior precisão na previsão de
comportamentos e resultados vai
aumentar o valor do senso crítico
“The drop in the cost of prediction will impact the value
of other things, increasing the value of complements
(data, judgment, and action) and diminishing the value
of substitutes (human prediction…Prediction facilitates
decisions by reducing uncertainty, while judgment
assigns value. In economists’ parlance, judgment is the
skill used to determine a payoff, utility, reward, or profit.
The most significant implication of prediction machines
is that they increase the value of judgment."
15. Conflito pela captura do aumento da produtividade vai gerar tensões dentro das
empresas, entre as empresas e entre o mercado e a sociedade. Capacidade de
comunicação vai ser crítica para determinar os vencedores
“a mechanism that, after being set in motion,
performs with its tools the same operations as
the worker formerly did with similar tools…The
immediate benefit to the capitalist of introducing
the machine into the process is the reduction in
the necessary labor-time in the production
commodities. Thus, a greater part of the
working day can be spent on the production of
surplus value” – Marx, O Capital, Livro II,
Capítulo XV
16. Dados Não são o novo petróleo,
mas sim um capital tão importante
quanto o capital financeiro, intelectual
ou social.
“In data-rich markets participants no longer use price
as the primary conveyor of information...one of the
central tasks that money has played in the economy
will be gone… rather than equating markets with
money and the economy with finance capitalism in
which money rules supreme, markets will be
understood to surge because of rich data flows (not
money)”
17. Joseph S. Nye, Harvard:
“At the most general level, power is the ability to influence the behavior of
others to get the outcomes one wants. There are several ways to affect the
behavior of others.
• You can coerce them with threats. (economia pré-industrial)
• You can induce them with payments. (economia industrial)
• Or you can attract or co-opt them. (a economia “pós-industrial”?)
Soft power rests on the ability to shape the preferences of others…It is also
the ability to attract, and attraction often leads to acquiescence. Simply
put, in behavioral terms, soft power is attractive power. Soft power
resources are the assets that produce such attraction. Soft power uses a
different type of currency—not force, not money—to engender
cooperation. It uses an attraction to shared values, and the justness and
duty of contributing to the achievement of those values.“
23. AI will force us to be more human.
Automation will make us focus on the
traits that humanity can do better than
artificial intelligence, like creativity and
imagination. We’ll leave the rest to
machines.
24. Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world
