Abstract

“Learn to navigate a world of deepfakes, phishing attacks, and other cybersecurity threats emanating from generative artificial intelligence. In an era where artificial intelligence can create content indistinguishable from reality, how do we separate truth from fiction? In FAIK: A Practical Guide to Living in a World of Deepfakes, Disinformation, and AI-Generated Deceptions, cybersecurity and deception expert Perry Carpenter unveils the hidden dangers of generative artificial intelligence, showing you how to use these technologies safely while protecting yourself and others from cyber scams and threats. This book provides a crucial understanding of the potential risks associated with generative AI, like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, offering effective strategies to avoid falling victim to their more sinister uses. This isn't just another book about technology – it's your survival guide to the digital jungle. Carpenter takes you on an insightful journey through the "Exploitation Zone," where rapid technological advancements outpace our ability to adapt, creating fertile ground for deception. Explore the mechanics behind deepfakes, disinformation, and other cognitive security threats. Discover how cybercriminals can leverage even the most trusted AI systems to create and spread synthetic media and use it for malicious purposes. At its core, FAIK is an empowering exposé in which Carpenter effectively weaves together engaging narratives and practical insights, all aimed to equip you with the knowledge to recognize and counter advanced tactics with practical media literacy skills and a deep understanding of social engineering. You will: Learn to think like a hacker to better defend against digital threats ; Gain practical skills to identify and defend against AI-driven scams ; Develop your toolkit to safely navigate the "Exploitation Zone." ; See how bad actors exploit fundamental aspects of generative AI to create weapons grade deceptions ; Develop practical skills to identify and resist emotional manipulation in digital content. Most importantly, this is ultimately an optimistic book as it predicts a powerful and positive outcome as a period of cooperation, something now inconceivable, develops as it always does during crises and the future is enhanced by amazing new technologies and fabulous opportunities on the near horizon. Written by an expert, yet accessible to everyone, FAIK is an indispensable resource for anyone who uses technology and wants to stay secure in the evolving digital landscape. This book not only prepares you to face the onslaught of digital deceptions and AI-generated threats, but also teaches you to think like a hacker to better defend against them.”

Abstract

Durch Instrumente wie PISA erlangte und erhielt die OECD die Autorität, über Erfolg und Scheitern nationalstaatlicher Bildungspolitiken zu urteilen. Regula Bürgi beleuchtet aus historischer Perspektive die Denkstile und Netzwerke, mittels derer diese internationale - vornehmlich wirtschaftspolitische - Organisation zu einer Bildungsexpertin avancieren konnte. Basierend auf vielfältigem Quellenmaterial dringt die Autorin in das Räderwerk der Organisation vor und identifiziert Schlüsseleigenschaften des OECD-Erfolgs. Instruments such as PISA have given OECD the authority to judge relative successes and failures of national education policies. Regula Bürgi examines from an historical perspective the thinking styles and networks by means of which this international - primarily economic-political - organization could advance to become an expert in the field of education. Based on diverse source materials, the author penetrates the architecture of the organization and identifies key characteristics of OECD's success.

Abstract

Avec les soixante-douze clés de ce dictionnaire, Konrad Becker cherche à déverrouiller les portes de la réalité stratégique : sa construction au fil des siècles, son imposition furtive et violente, son maintien imbécile et laborieux, ainsi que sa dissolution et sa destruction par ceux qui ne peuvent plus la supporter. Nous dévoilant les modèles communicationnels de systèmes fantasmagoriques, Becker oscille au fil des pages de cet ouvrage entre le manuel de guerre psychologique de tradition millénaire, le traité occulte de démonologie contemporaine, le samizdat d'évasion psychique, l'essai de philosophie politique assertive et le guide stratégique pour petites unités résistantes et agents autonomes d'intelligence culturelle dans les guerres impériales de l'information. Patiemment, il défait et révèle les opérations de la machine complexe qui tente de recréer nos propres perceptions, affects et expressions. Pourtant, contrairement à ces systèmes que Becker imite et déploie si habilement, ses clés ont la grâce de se dissoudre immédiatement dans l'air, tout en révélant durablement les écrans de fumée et les jeux de miroirs qui semblaient leur donner leur substance.

Abstract

A new framework for studying markets as the product of organizational planning and understanding the practical limits of market design. The Western energy crisis was one of the great financial disasters of the past century. The crisis began in April 2000, when price spikes started to rattle California’s electricity markets. Decades later, some blame economic fundamentals and ignorant politicians, while others accuse the energy sellers who raided the markets. In Failure by Design, sociologist Georg Rilinger offers a different explanation, one that focuses on the practical challenges of market design. The unique physical attributes of electricity made it exceedingly difficult to introduce markets into the coordination of the electricity system, so market designers were brought in to construct the infrastructures that coordinate how market participants interact. An exercise in social engineering, these infrastructures were intended to guide market actors toward behavior that would produce optimal market results and facilitate grid management. Yet, though these experts spent their days worrying about incentive misalignment and market manipulation, they unintentionally created a system riddled with opportunities for destructive behavior. Rilinger’s analysis not only illuminates the California energy crisis but also develops a broader theoretical framework for thinking about markets as the products of organizational planning and the limits of social engineering, contributing broadly to sociological and economic thinking about the nature of markets.

Abstract

Pourquoi les projets de développement, les interventions des ONG ou les politiques publiques nationales sont-ils tous soumis à d'importants écarts entre ce qui était prévu et ce qui se passe effectivement ? Cet ouvrage apporte une réponse documentée à ce 'problème des écarts'. Les politiques publiques standardisées, telles les politiques de développement omniprésentes en Afrique, méconnaissent les contextes dans lesquels elles sont mises en oeuvre. Dans cette confrontation, les acteurs locaux jouent un rôle majeur. Les multiples stratégies de contournement des directives et protocoles officiels suivent des 'normes pratiques' implicites ignorées des experts internationaux, mais que l'observation du terrain peut mettre en évidence. C'est un phénomène qui va au-delà du développement : tout se passe comme si l'Afrique révélait de façon paroxystique une revanche des contextes dont on peut trouver des exemples dans le monde entier. Pour analyser ces processus, un dialogue est noué entre d'une part des données de terrain particulièrement riches, et d'autre part une vaste littérature en sciences sociales revisitée afin de mieux rendre compte des réalités observées. Le diagnostic est structuré autour de quelques concepts clés : modèles voyageurs, normes pratiques, modes de gouvernance et logiques sociales. Tout entier consacré à une démarche analytique rigoureuse, sans complaisance et sans polémique, il se termine néanmoins par une prise de risque face à la redoutable question 'que faire ?', en suggérant de mettre les normes pratiques au centre de toute intervention et de valoriser les 'experts contextuels' aujourd'hui invisibles. Ce livre constitue une contribution majeure à l'analyse des effets inattendus des politiques publiques

Abstract

Compulsory ujamaa villages in Tanzania, collectivization in Russia, Le Corbusier's urban planning theory realized in Brasilia, the Great Leap Forward in China, agricultural "modernization" in the Tropics-the twentieth century has been racked by grand utopian schemes that have inadvertently brought death and disruption to millions. Why do well-intentioned plans for improving the human condition go tragically awry?In this wide-ranging and original book, James C. Scott analyzes failed cases of large-scale authoritarian plans in a variety of fields. Centrally managed social plans misfire, Scott argues, when they impose schematic visions that do violence to complex interdependencies that are not-and cannot-be fully understood. Further, the success of designs for social organization depends upon the recognition that local, practical knowledge is as important as formal, epistemic knowledge. The author builds a persuasive case against "development theory" and imperialistic state planning that disregards the values, desires, and objections of its subjects. He identifies and discusses four conditions common to all planning disasters: administrative ordering of nature and society by the state; a "high-modernist ideology" that places confidence in the ability of science to improve every aspect of human life; a willingness to use authoritarian state power to effect large- scale interventions; and a prostrate civil society that cannot effectively resist such plans.
