Sean Carroll's Mindscape: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and IdeasJudea Pearl on Cause and EffectTo say that event A causes event B is to not only make a claim about our actual world, but about other possible worlds — in worlds where A didn’t happen but everything else was the same, B would not have happened. This leads to an obvious difficulty if we want to infer causes from sets of data — we generally only have data about the actual world. Happily, there are ways around this difficulty, and the study of causal relations is of central importance in modern social science and artificial intelligence research.

Haymarket Books LiveTransformative Justice and Knowledge Production in TechJoin contributors to the special edition of Logic Magazine, Beacons, for a discussion on Transformative Justice and Knowledge Production in Tech
Techno-capitalism is re-negotiating the social contract but knowledge about technologies is too often sequestered behind the lock doors of industry. Black women researchers like Dr. Timnit Gebru who raised alarm about the racial and ecological implications of emergent technologies are systematically silenced and forced out. Additionally, corporate capture of academic departments has even further limited the space to do critical research.
Given these obstacles, how can researchers both inside and outside of tech companies do the difficult work of...

CERIAS Weekly Security Seminar - Purdue UniversityDr. Guan-Hua (Scott) Tu, Enabling a Practically Secure Mobile Networked System The mobile network (e.g., 4G LTE and 5G NR), the only large-scale wireless network infrastructure on par with the Internet, plays a critical role in interconnecting various mobile devices (e.g., smartphones, massive/critical IoT devices) and providing them with ubiquitous network services. In recent years, more users are accessing the Internet through mobile networks; since the first quarter of 2021, mobile devices (excluding tablets) have generated more than 54% of global website traffic. However, the security of the nowadays mobile networked systems is still far from being satisfactory. Unprecedented malicious attacks against mobile devices and the mobile network infrastructure...
