[Episode 449 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] GPT-4's rapid and tangible improvement over ChatGPT has more or less guaranteed that it or a competitor will be built into most new and legacy IT products. Some of those applications will be pointless; but some will change users' world. In this episode, Sultan Meghji, Jordan Schneider, and Siobhan Gorman explore the likely impact of GPT4, from Silicon Valley to China. Kurt Sanger joins us to explain why Ukraine's IT Army of volunteer hackers… [read post]

[Episode 447 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] Our last episode of the Cyberlaw Podcast (No. 446) was a long interview on the U.S. national cybersecurity strategy with Chris Inglis, until recently the national cybersecurity director.  So this episode 447 focuses only on the most controversial recommendation in the strategy – liability for certain security flaws.  Nick Weaver, Maury Shenk and I explore the pros and cons of what's become known as cybersecurity's third rail. Turning to… [read post]

[Episode 432 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] We spend much of this episode of the Cyberlaw Podcast talking about toxified tech – new technology that is being demonized by the press and others. Exhibit One, of course, is "spyware," i.e., hacking tools that allow governments to access phones or computers otherwise closed to them. The Washington Post and the New York Times have led a campaign to turn NSO's Pegasus tool for hacking phones into a radioactive product. Jim Dempsey, though,… [read post]

[Episode 426 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] David Kris opens this episode of the Cyberlaw Podcast by laying out some of the massive disruption that the Biden Administration has kicked off in China's semiconductor industry – and among its Western suppliers. The reverberations of the administration's new measures will be felt for years, and the Chinese government's response, not to mention the ultimate consequences, remains uncertain. Richard Stiennon, our industry analyst, gives us an… [read post]

[The Dangerous Cure for "AI bias"] You probably haven't given much thought recently to the wisdom of racial and gender quotas that allocate jobs and other benefits to racial and gender groups based on their proportion of the population. That debate is pretty much over. Google tells us that discussion of racial quotas peaked in 1980 and has been declining ever since. While still popular with some on the left, they have been largely rejected by the country as a whole. Most recently, in… [read post]

[Cyberlaw Podcast Bonus Episode 419] Just when you thought you had a month free of the Cyberlaw Podcast, it turns out that we are persisting, at least a little. This month we offer a bonus episode, in which Dave Aitel and I interview Michael Fischerkeller, one of three authors of "Cyber Persistence Theory: Redefining National Security in Cyberspace." The book is a detailed analysis of how cyberattacks and espionage work in the real world – and a sharp critique of military strategists… [read post]

[Interviewing Amy Gajda] This bonus episode of the Cyberlaw Podcast is an interview with Amy Gajda, author of "Seek and Hide: The Tangled History of the Right to Privacy." Her book is an accessible history of the often obscure and sometimes "curlicued" interaction between the individual right to privacy and the public's (or at least the press's) right to know. Gajda, a former journalist, turns what could have been a dry exegesis on two centuries of legal precedent into… [read post]

[Episode 486 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] Returning from winter break, this episode of the Cyberlaw Podcast covers a lot of ground. The story I think we'll hear the most about in 2024 is the remarkable exploit used to compromise several generations of Apple iPhone. The question we'll be asking is simple: How could an attack like this be introduced without Apple's knowledge and support? We don't get to this question until near the end of the episode, and I don't claim great… [read post]

[Episode 483 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] The OpenAI corporate drama came to a sudden end last week. So sudden, in fact, that the pundits never quite figured out What It All Means. Jim Dempsey and Michael Nelson take us through some of the possibilities: It was all about AI accelerationists v. decelerationists. Or it was all about effective altruism. Or maybe it was Sam Altman's slippery ambition. Or perhaps a new AI breakthrough – a model that can actually do more math than the average… [read post]

[Episode 482 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] In this episode, Paul Rosenzweig brings us up to date on the debate over renewing section 702, highlighting the introduction of the first credible "renew and reform" measure by the House Intelligence Committee. I'm hopeful that a similarly responsible bill will come soon from Senate Intelligence and that some version of the two will be adopted. Paul is less sanguine. And we all recognize that the wild card will be House Judiciary, which is… [read post]

[Episode 475 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] Today's episode of the Cyberlaw Podcast begins, as it must, with Saturday's appalling Hamas attack on Israeli civilians. I ask Adam Hickey and Paul Rosenzweig, both with long histories in counterterrorism, to comment on the attack and what lessons the U.S. should draw from it, whether in terms of revitalized intelligence programs or the need for workable defenses against drone attacks. In other news, Adam covers the disturbing prediction that the U.S.… [read post]

[How Press Bias Fed FISA Abuse in the Trump-Russia Panic] I've finished the second in what I hope will be a series of posts exploring the risk of partisan abuse of U.S. intelligence authorities. (For the other, see this opinion piece, coauthored with Michael Ellis.) Section 702 renewal is on the agenda for Congress in 2023, and building support for renewal means taking seriously complaints on the right that intelligence agencies were affected by partisan bias in their treatment of Donald… [read post]

[Episode 429 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] The war that began with the Russian invasion of Ukraine grinds on. Cybersecurity experts have spent much of 2022 trying to draw lessons about cyberwar strategies from the conflict. Dmitri Alperovitch takes us through the latest learning, cautioning that all of it could look different in a few months, as both sides adapt to the others' actions. David Kris joins Dmitri to evaluate a Microsoft report hinting at how China may be abusing its edict that… [read post]

[Episode 413 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] This episode of the Cyberlaw Podcast begins by digging into a bill more likely to transform tech regulation than most of the proposals you've actually heard of – a bipartisan effort to regulate US tech investment abroad. The new bill holds a mirror up to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), Matthew Heiman reports. Where CFIUS regulates inward investment from adversary nations, the new proposal will regulate outward… [read post]

[Episode 402 of the Cyberlaw Podcast] The theme of this episode of the Cyberlaw Podcast is, "Be careful what you wish for."  The wish for techlash regulation is still growing around the world.  Mark MacCarthy  takes us through a week's worth of regulatory enthusiasm.  Canada is planning to force Google and Facebook to pay Canadian news media for links. It sounds simple, but arriving at the right price – and the right recipients -- will require a hefty dose of… [read post]
