CEPS Task Force on Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity Technology, Governance and Policy Challenges Task Force Evaluation of the HLEG Trustworthy AI Assessment List (Pilot Version). CEPS Task Force Report 22 January 2020

The Centre for European Policy Studies launched a Task Force on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cybersecurity in September 2019. The goal of this Task Force is to bring attention to the market, technical, ethical and governance challenges posed by the intersection of AI and cybersecurity, focusing both on AI for cybersecurity but also cybersecurity for AI. The Task Force is multi-stakeholder by design and composed of academics, industry players from various sectors, policymakers and civil society. The Task Force is currently discussing issues such as the state and evolution of the application of AI in cybersecurity and cybersecurity for AI; the debate on the role that AI could play in the dynamics between cyber attackers and defenders; the increasing need for sharing information on threats and how to deal with the vulnerabilities of AI-enabled systems; options for policy experimentation; and possible EU policy measures to ease the adoption of AI in cybersecurity in Europe. As part of such activities, this report aims at assessing the High-Level Expert Group (HLEG) on AI Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI, presented on April 8, 2019. In particular, this report analyses and makes suggestions on the Trustworthy AI Assessment List (Pilot version), a non-exhaustive list aimed at helping the public and the private sector in operationalising Trustworthy AI. The list is composed of 131 items that are supposed to guide AI designers and developers throughout the process of design, development, and deployment of AI, although not intended as guidance to ensure compliance with the applicable laws. The list is in its piloting phase and is currently undergoing a revision that will be finalised in early 2020. This report would like to contribute to this revision by addressing in particular the interplay between AI and cybersecurity. This evaluation has been made according to specific criteria: whether and how the items of the Assessment List refer to existing legislation (e.g. GDPR, EU Charter of Fundamental Rights); whether they refer to moral principles (but not laws); whether they consider that AI attacks are fundamentally different from traditional cyberattacks; whether they are compatible with different risk levels; whether they are flexible enough in terms of clear/easy measurement, implementation by AI developers and SMEs; and overall, whether they are likely to create obstacles for the industry. The HLEG is a diverse group, with more than 50 members representing different stakeholders, such as think tanks, academia, EU Agencies, civil society, and industry, who were given the difficult task of producing a simple checklist for a complex issue. The public engagement exercise looks successful overall in that more than 450 stakeholders have signed in and are contributing to the process. The next sections of this report present the items listed by the HLEG followed by the analysis and suggestions raised by the Task Force (see list of the members of the Task Force in Annex 1)

La concessione in uso dei beni culturali nel Codice dei beni culturali e del paesaggio

1noThe regulation on the Cultural Heritage individual use. The Italian Code of Cultural and Environmental Heritage, at art. 106, illustrates the concept of the socalled "individual use" of objects included in the Cultural Heritage that are belonging to public Authorities. The Code, in regulating the matter, aims at furnishing a definition of the specific scope of the law enforcement - in both the subjective and objective points of view -but the rule does not clearly outline neither the content of the relation between Administrations and dealers nor the nature of the rights established in favour of the latter ones. Consequently, this analysis is centred on clarifying the exact content of the subjective position arising from the rule.openA. FANTINFantin, Andre

Laboratori

Il progetto nasce dalla committenza di Roberto Daolio per la realizzazione di opere da collocare all’ultimo piano del reparto di Oncologia Pediatrica dell’Ospedale Sant’Orsola di Bologna in collaborazione con l’Associazione Ageop. Gli artisti invitati sono Silvia Cini, Emilio Fantin, Claudia Losi, Eva Marisaldi, Sabrina Mezzaqui, Sabrina Torelli e Marco Vaglieri. Fantin propone di realizzare un grande libro sulla fiaba "I musicanti di Brema" e una serie di laboratori per bambini in collaborazione con le maestre della scuola steineriana Maria Garagnani di Bologna (Incontrare la fiaba e rappresentarla; Prendersi Cura; Modellaggio con la cera d’api calda). Il libro viene realizzato e donato al reparto mentre i Laboratori non trovano sbocchi concreti. Il progetto non viene realizzato a seguito di una serie di motivazioni economiche, tecnico logistiche. Si veda intervista a Francesca Testoni. Responsabile assistenza. A.G.E.O.P. RICERCA ONLUS.The project was commissioned by Roberto Daolio as part of a series of art works to be placed on the top floor of the Department of Pediatric Oncology of the Sant’Orsola Hospital in Bologna, in collaboration with the Association AGEOP. The invited artists are Silvia Cini, Emilio Fantin, Claudia Losi, Eva Marisaldi, Sabrina Mezzaqui, Sabrina Torelli and Marco Vaglieri. Fantin aims at creating a great book on the fairy tale "The Bremen Town Musicians" and a series of workshops for children in collaboration with the teachers of the school Garagnani Maria Steiner of Bologna (Meet the tale and represent it; Take care; Sculpting with hot beeswax). The book was made and donated to the department , while the laboratories were not realized, due to a series of economical, technical and logistic reasons.

La tutela del Codice Atlantico di Leonardo tra lo Stato e la Regione Lombardia

The responsibility for the conservation of Leonardo's Atlantic Codex, between State and Lombardy Region. Starting point of this paper is the debate, which arose between the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and the Lombardy Region, and concerning who is the real holder of the responsibility for the preservation of the Leonardo Da Vinci's Atlantic Codex, today property of the mbrosiana Library in Milan. The dispute derives from the genesis of the Codex (initially single leaves, only later bound together by a person different by the author) and the heterogeneity of the documents collected in it, something which does not allow to absolutely affirm that the Codex is a book, or a collection of separate drawings or manuscripts. As highlighted by the paper in fact, the different choice to consider the Codex a book (as a whole), or otherwise a collection of single drawings or manuscripts (i.e. made of single entities), results in shifting - according to the rules in force - the holder of the responsibility to one or to the other authority

Joint segmentation and classification of retinal arteries/veins from fundus images

Objective Automatic artery/vein (A/V) segmentation from fundus images is required to track blood vessel changes occurring with many pathologies including retinopathy and cardiovascular pathologies. One of the clinical measures that quantifies vessel changes is the arterio-venous ratio (AVR) which represents the ratio between artery and vein diameters. This measure significantly depends on the accuracy of vessel segmentation and classification into arteries and veins. This paper proposes a fast, novel method for semantic A/V segmentation combining deep learning and graph propagation. Methods A convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed to jointly segment and classify vessels into arteries and veins. The initial CNN labeling is propagated through a graph representation of the retinal vasculature, whose nodes are defined as the vessel branches and edges are weighted by the cost of linking pairs of branches. To efficiently propagate the labels, the graph is simplified into its minimum spanning tree. Results The method achieves an accuracy of 94.8% for vessels segmentation. The A/V classification achieves a specificity of 92.9% with a sensitivity of 93.7% on the CT-DRIVE database compared to the state-of-the-art-specificity and sensitivity, both of 91.7%. Conclusion The results show that our method outperforms the leading previous works on a public dataset for A/V classification and is by far the fastest. Significance The proposed global AVR calculated on the whole fundus image using our automatic A/V segmentation method can better track vessel changes associated to diabetic retinopathy than the standard local AVR calculated only around the optic disc.Comment: Preprint accepted in Artificial Intelligence in Medicin

Consideraciones generales acerca de la atención de la salud en la frontera argentino-paraguaya

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo presentar algunas consideraciones generales respecto a la atención de la salud en la frontera argentino-paraguaya. Es imperativo que en las áreas de frontera, el tratamiento de los problemas de salud se realice mediante programas binacionales, que aborden la problemática en conjunto, es decir, que se realice un manejo y abordaje binacional de la salud, especialmente en los sectores de mayor dinamismo, porque la elevada movilidad de población que se da hacia ambos lados de la frontera pueden determinar un serio problema en la salud pública.Fil: Fantin, Maria Alejandra.
