Special Committee on Artificial Intelligence in a Digital Age (AIDA)

Protect Not Surveil: The recent EU Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act regulates the harmful uses of AI. However, it does not ban its many harmful and dangerous uses in the context of immigration enforcement. How can the EU ensure the protection of asylum seekers from high-risk border technologies?

In this episode I chat to Dr Karla Evans, a cognitive psychologist at the University of York investigating the mechanisms behind how humans get the “gist” of complex images, and how this can be applied to medical diagnostics. Her work has been influential in her field, having been cited over 3800 times. Over the course of this conversation we cover what ‘gist perception’ is in terms of Karla’s research, the AI systems she is training, the success of this research, the limitations and wider impacts of AI technology.

Sailing Solo Around the Earth Without Modern Instruments Meet the 1 of 9 Who Did It – Bert terHart, Explorer & CEO of LeadBrain.ai

In this week's cybersecurity and health tech briefing, we delve into emerging digital threats and technological advancements. Hackers are now exploiting OAuth 2.0 workflows to infiltrate Microsoft 365 accounts, bypassing multifactor authentication by tricking users into authorizing malicious applications. On the Android front, a newly uncovered malware uses NFC to access financial apps and conduct unauthorized transactions. Meanwhile, leading AI models are found vulnerable to a novel adversarial technique called "policy puppetry" prompt injections, raising concerns about AI reliability and safety. In healthcare, Frederick Health Medical Group experienced a ransomware attack affecting nearly a million patients, while the University of New Mexico Hospital cut 53 executive positions in a cost-saving effort. On a more promising note, researchers at Mount Sinai have refined an FDA-approved AI tool to better predict risks for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy using ECG data. Finally, new cybersecurity threats include the "SessionShark" phishing toolkit, designed to bypass Office 365 MFA, and a massive breach by the hacking group R00TK1T, which compromised over 900,000 TikTok user credentials. Stay informed and protected as digital threats continue to evolve.
