Données de santé : Clever Cloud et d’autres sociétés saisissent la CEDH

“…la pseudonymisation des données et la certification de Microsoft comme HDS (Hébergeur de données de santé), rendant obligatoires les audits réguliers.Insuffisant pour Clever Cloud : « il est de doctrine courante que la pseudonymisation des données n’apporte aucune garantie définitive quant à la protection des données personnelles, encore moins au regard des capacités de traitement des Intelligences Artificielles qui facilitent considérablement la réidentification ».Quant aux audits liés à l’accréditation HDS, ils « n’apportent aucune garantie supplémentaire face à des demandes d’accès extrajuridictionelles émises en particulier par la NSA et dont la spécificité est justement d’être couvertes par le secret ». Clever Cloud note également qu’aucune de ces justifications n’entre dans le cadre du RGPD.”

“Niantic’s VPS is built from user scans, taken from different perspectives and at various times of day, at many times during the years, and with positioning information attached, creating a highly detailed understanding of the world. This data is unique because it is taken from a pedestrian perspective and includes places inaccessible to cars.Today we have 10 million scanned locations around the world, and over 1 million of those are activated and available for use with our VPS service. We receive about 1 million fresh scans each week, each containing hundreds of discrete images. ”

New intelligent, real-time protections on Android to keep you safe

15 novembre 2024 / noflux

“Real-time protection, built with your privacy in mind. Real-time defense, right on your device: Scam Detection uses powerful on-device AI to notify you of a potential scam call happening in real-time by detecting conversation patterns commonly associated with scams. For example, if a caller claims to be from your bank and asks you to urgently transfer funds due to an alleged account breach, Scam Detection will process the call to determine whether the call is likely spam and, if so, can provide an audio and haptic alert and visual warning that the call may be a scam. Private by design, you’re always in control: We’ve built Scam Detection to protect your privacy and ensure you’re always in control of your data. Scam Detection is off by default, and you can decide whether you want to activate it for future calls. At any time, you can turn it off for all calls in the Phone app Settings, or during a particular call. The AI detection model and processing are fully on-device, which means that no conversation audio or transcription is stored on the device, sent to Google servers or anywhere else, or retrievable after the call. Cutting-edge AI protection, now on more Pixel phones: Gemini Nano, our advanced on-device AI model, powers Scam Detection on Pixel 9 series devices. As part of our commitment to bring powerful AI features to even more devices, this AI-powered protection is available to Pixel 6+ users thanks to other robust Google on-device machine learning models.”

Viginum alerte sur une hausse des attaques de manipulation de l’information ciblant la France

14 novembre 2024 / noflux

“Sur le résultat réel de ces tentatives de manipulation, Marc-Antoine Brillant a expliqué aux sénateurs qu’il n’y a pas de consensus académique ou scientifique pour le mesurer. « Principalement empirique, l’analyse de l’impact consiste bien souvent à relever des indicateurs de visibilité des principales plateformes de réseaux sociaux, avec le caractère relatif de ces indicateurs (nombre de vues, de likes, de repartage ou commentaires) » décrit-il. Mais il s’est empressé de rajouter que « ça ne fournit qu’une vision parcellaire d’une exposition d’un lectorat ou auditorat à une campagne sans permettre de connaitre les effets sur le long terme ». Et il ajoute qu’ « une simple approche qui serait fondée aujourd’hui sur des indicateurs issus de plateforme, ne permet qu’une mesure partielle de la visibilité de la manœuvre informationnelle puisqu’elle écarte la nécessaire analyse de l’état sociologique d’une population donnée exposée de manière répétée à un narratif sur un temps long avec les biais qui peuvent en découler ».”

The planned release is part of a broader industry push toward agents, or AI software that can complete multi-step tasks for users with minimal supervision. Anthropic unveiled a similar agent that can process what’s happening on the user’s computer in real time and take actions on their behalf.”

How ChatGPT Brought Down an Online Education Giant

13 novembre 2024 / noflux

“Since ChatGPT’s launch, Chegg has lost more than half a million subscribers who pay up to $19.95 a month for prewritten answers to textbook questions and on-demand help from experts. Its stock is down 99% from early 2021, erasing some $14.5 billion of market value. Bond traders have doubts the company will continue bringing in enough cash to pay its debts. Though Chegg has built its own AI products, the company is struggling to convince customers and investors it still has value in a market upended by ChatGPT.”

Google DeepMind releases code behind its most advanced protein prediction program | Science | AAAS

12 novembre 2024 / noflux

“The DeepMind researchers also contend that, contrary to some critics’ claims, the Nature paper was reproducible, as demonstrated by the fact that multiple groups have since made their own versions of AlphaFold3 based on the pseudocode. AI-focused companies such as Baidu, Ligo Biosciences, and Chai Discovery have already released the results of such efforts.These alternative “implementations” will likely still be useful, even with AlphaFold3’s code now released, notes Daniel Buchan, a bioinformatics researcher at University College London. For one thing, “It’s good and important that methods can be replicated,” he says. Comparing and contrasting the models will likely lead to improvements in the future, Wankowicz adds.”
