The Descent of Artificial Intelligence
The word "descent" is in the title of Kevin Padraic Donnelly's book on the history of artificial intelligence (AI) because, the author argues, the "achievement" of AI intelligence has been the result of hundreds of years of the development of social sciences that significantly reduced our understanding of what it is to be human.Donnelly's deep mining of the wide range of nuances in diverse views of what is meant by "intelligence" at all surrounds…
Discernment
Researchers thinking about visual evidence in the legal system address quite a variety of empirical questions but share an absorption in the ways in which the evidentiary problem is rooted in the blurring of genres. The blurring is plural: between illustration and proof, between interpretation and requiring an interpretation, between knowledge and perception, and between argument and evidence. Because genres are an intimate and essential part of …
Communication Researchers and Policy-Making
A sourcebook on the multiple relationships between the communication research and policy making communities over the last hundred years. As the global information infrastructure evolves, the field of communication has the opportunity to renew itself while addressing the urgent policy need for new ways of thinking and new data to think about. Communication Researchers and Policy-making examines diverse relationships between the communication resea…
The Blockchain and the New Architecture of Trust
How the blockchain—a system built on foundations of mutual mistrust—can become trustworthy. The blockchain entered the world on January 3, 2009, introducing an innovative new trust architecture: an environment in which users trust a system—for example, a shared ledger of information—without necessarily trusting any of its components. The cryptocurrency Bitcoin is the most famous implementation of the blockchain, but hundreds of other companies ha…
Decoding the Social World
How data science and the analysis of networks help us solve the puzzle of unintended consequences. Social life is full of paradoxes. Our intentional actions often trigger outcomes that we did not intend or even envision. How do we explain those unintended effects and what can we do to regulate them? In Decoding the Social World, Sandra González-Bailón explains how data science and digital traces help us solve the puzzle of unintended consequences…
Emanations of the informational state
>The Tallinn Manual of 2013 and its second edition, the Tallinn Manual 2.0 of 2017, are NATO-funded analyses of how existing international laws of war apply to cybersecurity and cyberwarfare. The difficulties faced by the groups of legal experts who produced these works often involve fundamental aspects of what it is to be a state altogether, challenging the survival of the state as a dominant political form altogether. These developments, in tur…
Internet histories
The electrical engineers and computer scientists who have designed the Internet are among those who have written Internet history. They have done so within the technical document series created to provide a medium for and record of the design process, the Internet Requests for Comments (RFCs) as well as in other venues. Internet designers have explicitly written the network's history in documents explicitly devoted to history as well as indirectl…
Tactical Memory
Those in the openness movement believe that access to information is inherently democratic, and assume the effects of openness will all be good from the movement’s perspective. But means are not ends, nothing is inevitable, and just what will be done with openly available information once achieved is rarely specified. One implicit goal of the openness movement is to create and sustain politically useful memory in situations in which official memo…

The geopolitical vs. the network political
With the recognition that communication networks in general and the Internet in particular are not only infrastructural but socio-technical in nature comes the responsibility to think such networks through from the perspective of how they influence – and/or are – forms of power and governance. The notion of citizenship is one that appears relative to both social and technical systems, and thus at their conjuncture, because it is the concept throu…
Internationalization of the Internet by design
The successes and failures of Internet Internationalization reveal struggles between two systems: the network political (oriented around the machinic) and the geopolitical (oriented around the social). The frames through which this conflict are understood, and the technical decisions that enacted such frames, were put in place during the first decade of the network design process, 1969–79. Analysis of the technical document series that records th…

Sheila Jasanoff
Em tempos em que todo conhecimento é 'situado' e não mais 'universal' e 'neutro', a tradução da reflexão de Sheila Jasanoff sobre "como dirigir para o bem nossa habilidade inventiva, profundamente humana" coloca uma questão para a academia brasileira: como 'situar' essa reflexão? Se o tempo é de mudança para o Ocidente imperial, é plausível aproveitar esse tempo para problematizarmos os "blocos constituintes" da razão pública no Brasil. E não há …
Defining Information Policy
Professor Braman introduces the first issue of the journal with an exploration of the definition, scope, and relevance of the concept of “information policy.” She sets forth the five criteria which define it as a coherent field of study, and notes the timeliness of its having a journal, as information policy increasingly shapes the world in which we live
Privacy by design
Discourse analysis of the technical document series that records the internet design history, the RFCs, shows that those involved during the first decade saw privacy as a multi-dimensional and interactive problem requiring use of a suite of solutions at the network, individual, and data levels that had to take into account the need to balance privacy against experimentation and innovation. Internet designers were sophisticated in their pragmatic …
The Framing Years
Those responsible for the technical decision making that created the Internet found they had to think through a number of social policy issues, from privacy and intellectual property rights through the definition of common carriage and environmental problems, along the way. Such issues were framed by conceptualizations of the nature of the network, goals to be served by the network, users and uses of the network, and the design criteria that serv…
The Interpenetration of Technical and Legal Decision-Making for the Internet
Not long after computer scientists first began working on the technical design of the network that ultimately became known as the Internet, in 1969, they began to document their discussions, information shared, and decisions made in a series of documents known as the Internet requests for comments that is still being used for this purpose 40 years later. A comprehensive inductive reading of these documents reveals that legal and policy issues wer…
International treaties and art
International treaties shape the legal context for the arts, provide policy tools for political ends, and reveal roles of the arts in state identity. Culture‐specific instruments, general agreements with cultural provisions, general agreements without culture‐specific provisions, and general statements of principle are all pertinent. Since 1990, treaties have intervened in the global division of labor and the entry of works into the art market, f…

Change of State
Braman's Change of State is driven by a concern that the US government's information policy is having detrimental social and political effects.To demonstrate this, the reader is treated to something of a compendium of a book.For legal scholars, the author identifies twenty 'information policy principles' in the US Constitution and suggests how current policy supports, undermines or transforms them.For policymakers, Braman offers a comprehensive b…

Advantage ISP
All users must access the internet through ISPs on the basis of contracts known as `terms of service' or `acceptable use policies' that are becoming de facto law for internet communications. This article examines contracts fr om over two dozen ISPs. Findings include a knowledge differ ential between users and ISPs regarding rules and their applications. User s have liability irrespective of intention, while ISPs do not. User s must license conten…
Posthuman Law
It has been an unspoken assumption that the law is made by humans for humans. That assumption no longer holds: The subject of information policy is increasingly flows between machines, machinic rather than social values play ever-more important roles in decision-making, and information policy for human society is being supplemented, supplanted, and superceded by machinic decision-making. As the barrier between the human and machinic falls with im…

This chapter reviews the historical and conceptual parameters of the international communication research area, followed by a focus on communication and development. Both parts of the chapter define the scope of the areas discussed, summarize the main theoretical approaches, and present major trends in research. The chapter concludes with suggestions for future research
The Constitutional Context
The legal context in which universities operate is among the forces shaping the ways in which new information technologies are taken up and used. In the USA, constitutional law - that law which addresses how society is to be structured and what types of processes should be permitted within it - is particularly important in determining what institutions can do. The ultimate arbiter of constitutional law is the US Supreme Court, the decisions of wh…

Trade and information policy
As society is transformed by the use of new technologies, information policy issues cross traditional boundaries to be found in a wide range of decision-making arenas. The New World Information Order (NWIO) debate lies relatively quiescent in Unesco, but surfaces in international trade negotiation: in response to the US push to get trade in services, or inter-national information flows, included under the General Agreements on Tariffs and Trade (…

Contradictions in brilliant eyes
With the emergence of an international information policy regime1 over the last few decades, information policy tools have received more attention per se, multiplied in form, and penetrated a growing variety of realms of activity. Their use has been striking in the defense arena, where 85-95 % of arms control agreements are now devoted to the compelled information collection, processing, and flows that have come to be called confidence-. and secu…

The "Facts" of El Salvador According to Objective and New Journalism
Information and Socioeconomic Class in U.S. Constitutional Law
The Supreme Court's information policy decisions support socioeconomic class divisions “by providing relatively few protections for media available to those at the bottom of the socioeconomic scale, directly limiting spending in some cases, deferring to labor law, and defining informational rights and responsibilities by profession.”

Art in the Information Economy
Economically, art has been viewed as a resource, a commodity, a process, a secondary good, a technology, and as capital. The role of art as a producer of and storage for cultural capital has historically been the most important for society as a whole. Today, however, the general stock of cultural capital is declining. Other trends in the current information economy include a greater appreciation for art as a source of innovation than for art prod…
The Right to Create
The harmonization of information systems that characterizes this fourth stage of the information society has made possible new types of threats to cultural rights such as the right to create. Here these new threats as experienced by avant garde and traditional artists are explored, with attention to the restriction of speech rights by differential application across the information production chain, the paradox of the simultaneous loss of belief …
