Hackers Got Inside a Flock Camera. Its Data Shows How the System Really Works

WIRED

A hacker collective pulled down a Flock camera and dumped its data. The files included thousands of videos and logs showing that the device captured 1.6 million images of 50,000 vehicles in 21 days. Hackers ripped down a Flock camera above a roadway, made a near-complete copy of the data stored inside it, and shared the files with 404 Media and WIRED, revealing in new detail how exactly Flock Safety's cameras track the movements of both vehicles and people . The hackers say they are also publishing details on how they managed to obtain the software, in the hopes that other people may copy them. The breach provides an unprecedented look inside a system that Flock has described as protected by on-device encryption .


Artificial Intelligence: The National Network of High Schools that want to include this specialty in their programs is born

#artificialintelligence

The idea of including the topic of artificial intelligence in school curricula begins in the far north-east of Italy, specifically from the "Bunarrotti" secondary school in Monfalcone, where Dean Vincenzo Kaiko He also talked about creating a real network of schools that intend to offer educational courses to their students on this subject. Vincenzo Kaiko explains it Data science and artificial intelligence They are scientific disciplines closely related and related to other fields of knowledge such as mathematics, natural sciences, humanities, and economics, which together represent the most interesting frontier of new information and communication technologies. Integration of the study of data science and artificial intelligence into the high school track – Monfalcone School Principal adds It can allow male and female students to gain important basic knowledge in rapidly expanding fields of science and technology, both in terms of broadening their cultural background and in terms of orientation towards university studies. The study of these two disciplines also allows for logical development – mathematical skills, analytical and abstract skills, ability to solve problems and creativity, in an interdisciplinary and mutually enriching relationship both with mathematics, physics and the natural sciences, and with the humanistic disciplines." There are currently four Italian schools that have independently started secondary school curriculum studies with the aim of data science and artificial intelligence: these are Maserati High Schools in Foggera, Volta in Reggio Calabria and Galilei in Trento.


Trucks catch up in the self-driving vehicle race

The Japan Times

We'd all be whizzing round in automated taxis by now if Elon Musk had been right. Instead, fully self-driving cars are struggling to get away from the starting grid and some investors are betting that driverless trucks will reach the checkered flag first. Only a year ago, startups developing self-driving taxis were pulling in eight times more funding than firms working on autonomous trucks, buses and logistics vehicles, but the gap has narrowed dramatically in 2021. With fewer regulatory and technological hurdles, trucks operating on major highways, fixed delivery routes or in environments far from cyclists and pedestrians such as mines and ports are now being seen as a faster way to generate returns. In the year through Dec. 6, total investment activity for self-driving logistics vehicles leapt fivefold to $6.5 billion from $1.3 billion in the same period in 2020, according to startup data platform PitchBook.
