From Data to Division 5 of 5: Artificial intelligence – by Daniele M. Barone

The Half-Measure of Human-Grounded AI Ethics. Within the context outlined thus far, as argued by Coeckelbergh and Sætra, the debate carried on by LLMs ongoing development seems to be between two main point of view: the Marxist concept of “technological determinism” and the “technological instrumentalism” or “technical orthodoxy”.

Sgominata cellula di al-Aqsa in Abruzzo, Israele chiede estradizione del leader – by Giovanni Giacalone

Gli arresti dei tre palestinesi a L’Aquila, membri dell’unità “Tulkarem-Risposta Rapida” delle Brigate al-Aqsa risvegliano l’attivismo del terrorismo palestinese legato all’organizzazione al-Fatah, quando tutti gli occhi erano puntati su Hamas in seguito all’eccidio perpetrato dall’organizzazione terrorista di stampo islamista lo scorso 7 ottobre nel sud d’Israele.

War and peace in the global village. Second half – by Giacomo Buoncompagni*

Shortly after the clashes in Ukraine, the apparently silent Israeli-Palestinian conflict reignited, at least in the Western media.

PMC Wagner and Allied Mercenaries, Aftermath of the March by – Federico Borgonovo & Giulia Porrino

During the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, PMC Wagner exploited online and offline support of some military groups, including:

  • Española, a parallel battalion of Russian ultras led by Alexander Shum and with a special training centre near San Petersburg.
  • Rusich, a reconnaissance, sabotage and assault group, directly attached to the PMC Wagner.

PMC Wagner Propaganda Ecosystem – by Giulia Porrino & Federico Borgonovo

The Wagner propaganda ecosystem is fragmented and made up of different actors that we have categorized. We identified a “top-down” propaganda architecture, composed of different materials disseminated by the leadership of the Wagner company, exploiting traditional media such as television, movies, events, and newspaper. Examples of this are the construction of the Wagner Center in St. Petersburg and movies produced by Aurum Production owned by Prigozhin.
