#amld2026 #AMLD #C4DT Nathan Hamiel talks about "Assessing the Disruption by AI Agents".
"Generative AI is one of the most manipulative technology we invented."
"Creating high-value targets by slamming internal, external, sensitive, and non-sensitive data together in an LLM."
Parler de souveraineté numérique en Europe devient de plus en plus courant. Même si ça va prendre beaucoup d'années d'avoir un contre-poids aux grandes entreprises américaines, les solutions émergent et s'organisent. Une fois qu'il y aura de l'argent qui alimente ces solutions alternatives, open source ou pas, l'utilité de ces solutions va augmenter drastiquement.
Les enjeux de souveraineté numérique étaient au cœur mardi d’un événement parisien auquel a notamment participé le juge de la Cour pénale internationale Nicolas Guillou. Sous sanctions américaines depuis août 2025, il a souligné les effets néfastes de la dépendance technologique européenne

The Center for Digital Trust hosted a successful workshop on Privacy-Preserving eID last week. We welcomed 14 participants from seven partner organizations including Be-Ys, ELCA, FOITT, Kudelski, SICPA, Swiss Post/SwissSign, and Swisscom. The day-long event combined theoretical foundations with hands-on technical demonstrations. Our focus centered on swiyu, Switzerland’s proposed eID project developed by FOITT, and (...)
Two weights and two measures: if the EU fines Apple and Google over privacy concerns, there is a lot of critizism from the other side of the Atlantic. Now Texas does the same, with even heftier fines, and there seems to be no outcry. Personally I'm all for fining companies who abuse our private data, let's hope that this last fine from Texas encourages the EU to continue their good work in this domain!

Google will pay $1.4 billion to Texas to settle claims the company collected data on users without permission. The state’s attorney general announced the settlement Friday. The agreement settles several claims Texas made against the search giant in 2022 related to geolocation, incognito searches and biometric data. The state argued Google was “unlawfully tracking and collecting users’ private data.” Google spokesperson José Castañeda said the agreement settles an array of “old claims,” some of which relate to product policies the company has already changed. Paxton said the $1.4 billion is the largest amount won by any state in a settlement with Google over this type of data-privacy violations.
OK, that took very long, but it finally happened: I have my #C4DT running t-shirt! I think the idea came up first pre-Covid, and constant nagging from my side made it happen!
So if you see me nagging you, don't resist. I'm persistent :)
@neiman @cdengler @ando as far as I know it's working mostly out-of-the box. We had a first semester student project to try to add automatic rooms configured by the LDAP authorizations of the student. But this was more exploratory.
Currently there are at least two instances here at EPFL - the semi-official one, and ours from #C4DT. But C4DT's users will move over to the semi-official one at some point.

Matrix is a widely used open source chat platform. It is an alternative to platforms such as Slack and MSTeams. In line with C4DT’s objective to promote services in the realm of digital trust, we set up our own Matrix instance and migrated our professional communications there in 2019. A privacy-first approach with encrypted chat (...)
Concernant le copyright et la presse: je comprend que les journalistes ne veuille pas donner pour rien leur travail, pour lequel il vendent des emplacements de publicité.
Mais en tant que société, le fait que la presse dépend de la pub est souvent une source de problème.
J'aimerais plutôt parler de revenus plutôt que de copyright ou de IP (propriété intellectuel) car le problème sociétal auquel nous devrons faire face, sera celui du revenus, dans la presse ou ailleurs. #c4dt
Sisi Wei nous a partager cet article que je me réjouis de lire
