The Effect of Changes in Communist Ideology after 1953 on repressive Policies and KGB Operations

Communist ideology and its changes after 1953 were an important indicator of internal developments in the Soviet Union and its repressive policies. The ideology legitimated persecution of dissenters and established the use of specific methods against them. The new ideological concepts concealed reprisals against resistance fighters, because anti-Soviet activities were criminalised or portrayed as acts of mentally ill people. Perhaps the most important concept of the Communist ideology having an effect on the repressive policies of the Soviet Union was the so-called Western ideological sabotage, which was considered to be the source of all manifestations of anti- Soviet activity. All contacts with the West were therefore perceived as threatening to the socialist system and became a special focus for the KGB. Even the improved relations with the West did not prevent the continued offensive of propaganda, intelligence work, and disinformation against the West. The concept of “dictatorship of the proletariat” was replaced with the concept of the “all-people’s state”, which was concealed Russification leading to the destruction of national aspirations.

A risk-based approach to mitigating the Gen(AI) challenge to assessment integrity

In the evolving landscape of higher education, emerging technologies such as Generative AI (GenAI) present both opportunities and challenges. The rapid increase in access to, and sophistication of, GenAI poses significant challenges for our institution and the wider sector (Bearman & Luckin 2020, Bobula 2024, Chan & Hu 2023). The most immediate of these challenges is the increased risk to the existing approaches used to assure that students achieve the stated outcomes of their learning experiences. Director of Higher Education Integrity Unit, TEQSA, Dr Helen Gniel argues ‘We are entering an age where institutions can no longer ensure the integrity of every single assessment, and it makes sense to think at that bigger level […] what are the mechanisms that you have in place to be confident that an individual has demonstrated the learning outcomes to receive that degree’(TEQSA information request: AI risk mitigation, webinar, 21 March 2024). While higher education institutions are exploring opportunities to realise the potential benefits of GenAI, our immediate focus is on mitigating these risks. This poster describes institutional Programmatic Assessment Security Project (PASP) at the University of Newcastle (UON), a pioneering four-stage initiative designed to address academic integrity risks associated with inappropriate uses of GenAI in summative assessment (Lodge 2024). Academic integrity risks in this context refers to the potential for students to engage in academic misconduct by using GenAI tools in ways that violate institutional policies or ethical standards for assessment. These risks pose a threat to the validity and reliability of summative assessments, potentially compromising the integrity of academic qualifications and the learning process itself. Led by the central teaching and learning support unit, in collaboration with the Artificial Intelligence Working Group (AIWG) a group of expert practitioners and academic stakeholders at UON, the PASP aims to secure assessments across a program of study, assuring student attainment of program learning outcomes. This innovative approach aligns with the sector’s focus on programmatic assessment and supports compliance with regulatory requirements, including TEQSA’s mid 2024 request for institutions to submit a detailed action plan to mitigate the risks that GenAI poses to the integrity of awards (TEQSA 2024). This poster showcases exemplary innovation in practice through the PASP, advancing research and practice in technology-enhanced learning (TEL). The PASP employs a risk-based approach, identifying seven risk factors for inappropriate student use of GenAI in assessment tasks. The first step in this project involved Course Coordinators completing an Assessment Reflection Survey, guiding them to reflect on individual assessment tasks in relation to these risk factors. The survey data were then used to compile an understanding of the varying levels of assessment risk across the institution’s programs. The PASP will deliver a defined series of secure assessments, delivered at key moments across a program of study to assure student attainment of program learning outcomes. This poster provides insight into UON’s contemporary and agile approach to TEL and assessment redesign, with potential for staff at other institutions to adopt similar responses.

A work of artificial generative intelligence as an object of copyright protection

A work of artificial generative intelligence as an object of copyright protection

What should an ordinary person understand about the work of generative artificial intelligence? Proceedings of the competition "TRIZformashka-2024"

Three basic aspects of the operation of generative neural network models (generative artificial intelligence) are discussed in the article: the concept of a "token", the probabilistic nature of the generated response, and the concept of a "large model", the size of which ensures the pseudo-intelligent behavior of neural network chatbots. The issues of implementing generative models, areas and methods of their application are not discussed in principle.The materials of the "TRIZformashka-2024" competition, which was dedicated to neural network models, are provided. The fact of pseudo-intelligence of generative models is demonstrated. It turns out that a model trained on a single phrase "mama myla ramu" ("mama washed the frame") and using a context of a single letter for generation can sometimes behave as if it knows the rules of declension in the Russian language and is able to change a word by case!The concept of a "token" is considered in relation to the generation of texts, pictures and passwords. On the basis of "tokens" a practically useful method of generating passwords is built, difficult to guess, but easy to reproduce (difficult to forget).The concept of a "large model" is presented clearly and intelligibly due to its "visualization" by comparing it with physical quantities. (If one parameter of a neural network weighed one gram, then 200 freight trains would be needed to transport it. If one parameter had a length one millimeter, then the neural network would revolve around the Earth at the equator 25 times. If one second was required to learn one parameter, then it would be necessary to start training a modern neural network in the times of the Cro-Magnons.)The materials will be useful for studying generative artificial intelligence at any age.

Design and implementation of a multifunctional desktop robot for computer peripherals

Abstract As an important component of the intelligent machinery field, desktop robots not only enrich people’s entertainment lives but are also gradually expanding into applications in education, healthcare, and other fields. However, existing products often struggle to meet the increasingly diverse needs due to short battery life and limited computing resources. In response to this challenge, this study designs a multifunctional desktop robot that can be used as a computer peripheral, which significantly improves power supply and computing capabilities. The design uses the STM32F4 series microcontroller as the main control chip, combined with high-performance servos and their self-developed driver boards, to achieve precise motion control. By integrating USB-HS PHY and USB-CDC protocol, the communication efficiency with the computer is greatly improved, and new screen-driving technology is developed using open-source routines, thus optimizing the user interaction experience. In addition, an innovative adaptive algorithm is incorporated into the firmware program, enhancing the robot’s working stability in different environments. Through systematic hardware debugging and software testing, the robot can achieve efficient performance and stable response when executing complex tasks. This research will promote the expansion of desktop robot technology into broader application fields and support future intelligent work and lifestyle.

Estimates of the accuracy of identification of a nonlinear dynamic system using step test signals

Machine learning (ML) has become widespread in everyday life. On its basis, programs with artificial intelligence work, on the basis of which many virtual assistants have evolved. ML plays an important role in various spheres of activity of many enterprises. ML helps to automate many processes, simplifying the functioning of the company. Named Entity Recognition (NER) models allow to automatically select and search for information according to certain criteria in mobile data extracted, for example, by the logistic method. Support for NER by Python models makes it possible to flexibly program specific requests that are generated in the forensic examination process. Open source creates a unique opportunity to continuously improve the model by training it on datasets. A powerful NER package is the spaCy framework, which helps to simplify data and extract detailed information from input data, train a model, perform model tuning, and more. spaCy is compatible with 64-bit CPython 3.7+ and runs on Unix/Linux, macOS/OS X and Windows. The latest spaCy releases are available over pip and conda.

Parallel intelligence in three decades: a historical review and future perspective on ACP and cyber-physical-social systems

Recent advances in human-in-the-loop or human-centric research have sparked a new wave of scientific exploration. These studies have enhanced the understanding of complex social systems and contributed to more sustainable artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystems. However, the incorporation of human or social factors increases system complexity, making traditional approaches inadequate for managing these complex systems and necessitating a novel operational paradigm. Over decades of work, a mature and comprehensive theory of parallel intelligence (PI) has been established. Rooted in cyber-physical-social systems (CPSS), PI adapts flexibly to various situations within complex systems through the ACP framework (Artificial systems, Computational experiments, and Parallel execution), ensuring system reliability. This paper provides a detailed review and a novel perspective on PI, beginning with the historical and philosophical origins of CPSS and proceeding to present both the fundamental framework and technological implementations of PI. PI-based Industry 5.0 is highlighted, where three pillars are adopted to help realize the supposed vision. Additionally, the paper outlines applications of PI in multiple fields, such as transportation, healthcare, manufacturing, and agriculture, and discusses the opportunities and challenges for imaginative intelligence. The continuous exploration of PI is expected to eventually facilitate the realization of “6S”-based (safe, secure, sustainable, sensitive, service, and smart) parallel ecosystems.

Deep tectonics and oil and gas prospectives of the kura depression according to geophysical data

According to the sedimentary features, the transfer of the upper, middle and lower case segments of the Kura depression is marked by oil-scientists and researchers. Structure-tectonic signs of these segments are significantly different, and are characterized by favorable conditions for the emergence, migration and gene- ration of hydrocarbons. Emigrate oil and gas products in basins created potential fields in favorable anticlinal structures, oil and gas collectors. Kur-Cabrırrı is the main oil-gas complex plieli-gas complex pliocene sediments in the Lower Kura depression in the Key-Caucasian Mmmatic basin in the Zevabadi Magmathic basin. It is of great importance in terms of monitoring the history of paleostructural development of these complexes, starting the mass generation of oil and gas, to investigate their migration directions, formation and maintenance of oil and gas fields. The official article was dedicated to the results of the complex in recent years in recent years, according to the results of regional geophysical intelligence work carried out by Azerbaijan and foreign companies. Based on a comprehensive analysis of geophysical information on regional profiles, the tectonic structure of Mesozoic-Cenozoic deposits was clarified, the conditions of sedimentation in the basins were assessed, changes in thickness were traced, and new explanations of the geological development of the territory were provided. At the same time, the boundaries of the Mugan monocline with the Jalilabad depression and the Karaja-Gyzylagad uplift zone have been clarified.

Optimising intelligence operations for international law enforcement: harnessing THRIVE for national intelligence model advancement

ABSTRACT THRIVE (Threat, Harm, Risk, Investigation, Vulnerability, and Engagement) represents a decision-making framework introduced by the United Kingdom’s (UK) National Police Chiefs’ Council in 2017, with a particular focus on vulnerability. Alongside THRIVE other intelligence-led policing models such as the National Intelligence Model (NIM), have become integral to policing practices. While THRIVE is widely adopted as a primary analysis and decision-making framework in UK police services, its examination remains limited, including its impact on the NIM and its use by intelligence personnel. Interviews with 15 police personnel from operation intelligence units within a specific English service were conducted to ascertain its level of adoption. A series of Freedom of Information (FOI) requests to all 43 UK police services in England and Wales were then initiated, to understand if the THRIVE model is adopted and, if so, where within their respective units. The findings indicate widespread acceptance and integration of THRIVE among intelligence practitioners, without immediate adverse effects on the application of the NIM. The use of heuristic naturalistic decision-making processes in THRIVE assessments, suggests a need for further research. Though, there is a risk of reduced decision-making capacity among frontline intelligence workers using THRIVE within the constraints of the NIM.

British surveillance of postwar Soviet radio jamming: US–UK intelligence relations and interference detection at BBC Tatsfield, 1948-1949

ABSTRACT Following World War II, the BBC, better known for radio programme broadcasts, continued its long-standing work of radio spectrum surveillance at the specialized receiving and measurement facility located at Tatsfield. Both before and after Soviet jamming of US and British Russian-language broadcasts escalated in April 1949, Tatsfield catalogued the technical characteristics of jamming signals. BBC engineers, experienced in interpreting types and sources of radio interference, issued fortnightly summaries with interpretations of these technical observations. US intelligence agencies knew of Tatsfield’s findings, but differing perspectives in Washington and London resulted in divergent responses to the technical intelligence data. With rising tensions in wider Anglo-American intelligence relations, fueled by the Soviet weapons program and security breaches, such differences presaged separate approaches to Soviet communications threats. US agencies received greatly increased funding, while the BBC’s budget struggles persisted. Even so, interference detection was a high-water mark in Britain’s early Cold War intelligence work.

How does artificial intelligence work in organisations? Algorithmic management, talent and dividuation processes

AbstractThis article analyses the forms of dividuation workers undergo when they are linked to technologies, such as algorithms or artificial intelligence. It examines functionalities and operations deployed by certain types of Talent Management software and apps—UKG, Tribepad, Afiniti, RetailNext and Textio. Specifically, it analyses how talented workers materialise in relation to the profiles and the statistical models generated by such artificial intelligence machines. It argues that these operate as a nooscope that allows the transindividual plane to be quantified through a process known as dividuation. Finally, by way of conclusion, the notion of the dividual is presented as the logic that characterises the human–machine relationship in the case of artificial intelligence and as the horizon of what Felix Guattari called “machinic capitalism”.

Cyber AI Research Trends

Today day to day there is an increase in cyber threat agents who are continuously coming with strategies which will help them evade the usual defences and end up obtaining or compromising vital information. AI use in monitoring tools by now can count among crucial techniques that help business entities to prevent these dangers. The propelled novel algorithms have replaced ‘human-in-the-loop’ method performing actions to assess security threats making the mechanisms much better. Such a piece dives into the area of AI robots that are utilized in threat intelligence, in order for machines to quickly discover all loop holes that attackers could use to break into a network. The application of Artificial Intelligence by businesses can in advance of the attacks, rather than as a response after the event, thwart them by the use of algorithms and predictive analytics to spot patterns of anomalies or suspicious activities. AI-powered models covering neural-network based threat identification to natural language processing belong to the spectrum of solutions implementing machine learning trained on datasets and cutting-edge algorithms. AI-based threat intelligence was presented to public as in line with practical coverage and real life issues and especially through examples. This technical issue might solve the inefficiency of identifying threats soon and thus increase their accuracy once again, in fact, it will use immediate reaction well too, like it used to. An exploration of computer ethics will touch on the topics of cyber security and data handling among others. As for their practical aspects, they have to be derived from moral righteousness founded on inner values. On the other hand, utilizing AI in threat intelligence processes calls for training of skilled workforce who will, in the long run, be able to face not only today’s cyber threats but also the future ones. In the past ten years reacting was the major issue in analysing cyber intelligence. Through the use of machine learning, enterprises across cyberspace can foresee probabilities of the most burdensome situations for them. Thus, making friendly organizations is the work of great threat intelligence in the 21st century

소위 ‘약한 인공지능(AI)’ 영역에서의 민사책임에 관한 연구

Now, the core of the discussion is how artificial intelligence (AI), as a rapidly developing advanced technology, can solve many of the most difficult problems facing humanity beyond solving severe social problems. Therefore, the true value of artificial intelligence (AI) as a cutting-edge technology is to solve huge problems facing humanity, such as social problems such as gun violence, food shortages, incurable diseases, and global warming caused by carbon emissions, and to contribute to human development. The concern, though, is that no one knows exactly how current artificial intelligence (AI) works. In other words, it is similar to developing a bomb that does not know when it will explode without a safety device.
 Already, artificial intelligence (AI) is causing damage by providing false information. So, if we don't know how to control better artificial intelligence (AI) when it appears, dangerous things can happen. Therefore, there will be a need for international norms on artificial intelligence (AI), which will be made possible by international treaties. The European Union has already enacted the AI Act as the first regulatory law on AI. This contains stronger regulations on the AI industry than in the United States or Asia. In particular, the Act stipulates the obligation to display AI-generated content. Thus, the EU's AI regulation law can be evaluated as legislation designed to ensure the safety of AI-generated products, such as cars and toys. In addition, in September 2022, the European Union (EU) issued a directive on AI accountability. It focuses on the legal principles of compensation for damages caused by artificial intelligence (AI). 
 Legislation on punitive damages for deepfake harms is required. As a civil liability, the victim's damages should be recognized not only for mental damages, but also for aggravated damages for monetary damages, if any. As such a legislative measure, so-called punitive damages should be introduced for malicious and deliberate use of artificial intelligence (AI) as a perpetrator. In the so-called risk liability of artificial intelligence (AI), the operator of artificial intelligence (AI), which has enormous profits through the operation of the risk source, will have to bear the risk liability as a no-fault liability. Korea's product liability law has embraced this principle of risk liability. In order for product liability law to apply to artificial intelligence (AI), there must be a defect in the artificial intelligence (AI) installed in the product.

Mobile based Malware Detection using Artificial Intelligence Techniques a review

Malware attacks on mobile devices are becoming more common and more complicated every year. Malware writers see the open-source Android app as their main target because so many people use it. Artificial intelligence is used by most of the literature's mobile malware detection methods to find ransomware. Our research, on the other hand, makes it clear that most of the earlier studies used different metrics and models, as well as different datasets and classification features that came from static, dynamic, or hybrid analysis strategies. This makes comparing the different suggested detection methods more difficult and may also make the results less certain. The goal of this work is to solve the problem of AI-powered malware detection by sorting current methods and approaches into three groups: the type of dataset, the type of detection method used (machine learning models, deep learning models, and Behavioral Analysis model), and how well the method works. In this way, we suggest a convergent plan that can be used as a basis for future methods of finding malware on Android and as a solid standard for artificial intelligence work in this area.

A trust and privacy-preserving intelligent big data collection scheme in mobile edge-cloud crowdsourcing

As one of important Edge-Cloud solutions, mobile crowd sensing (MCS) platform resides in the cloud, and recruits massive workers in the edge network to sense data, so big data can be collected to build various applications or services to consumers, which is a promising computing paradigm. There are two critical properties that are not well addressed. One is current privacy preserving (PP) scheme pays little attention to quality-ware based data collection, so malicious or low-trust workers can cause false or low-quality data attacks, which will seriously affect the foundation of data-based services. The second is the lack of an intelligent worker selection scheme so to reduce costs and improve data quality under PP condition. To address the above issues, in this paper, we first propose a big data collection framework that not only has the function of PP but also can effectively identify worker trust, which is not achieved by previous studies. In particular, the worker trust identification approach in this paper abandons the past unreasonable assumption that data quality can be identified by the obtained data of data requester (DR). Then, we propose a reinforcement-based worker selection scheme that comprehensively considers workers’ trust, workers’ quotation and workers’ locations, so as to overcome the problem of worker recruitment that cannot be quality-ware in the past location privacy protection. Theoretical analysis and massive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed strategy is better than the state-of-the-art strategies in data quality, system cost and other performance indicator
