1N2 DAILY Jul 18 · PM · #132 ============ — FRONT PAGE — A DeKalb County, Georgia, deputy was terminated from his position and subsequently arrested following an internal investigation into his use of Flock surveillance technology. The deputy, identified as Joshua Miller, faces charges of unauthorized access to a computer system and making false statements to investigators. The investigation stemmed from allegations that Miller was improperly accessing and distributing data collected by Flock, a license plate reader system deployed across the county. The incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding the use of surveillance technology by law enforcement and the potential for misuse of data. Flock technology uses cameras to capture license plate information and vehicle details, which are then stored in a database accessible to law enforcement agencies. The system is intended to assist in criminal investigations and identify stolen vehicles, but has also drawn criticism for privacy implications and potential for discriminatory targeting. DeKalb County implemented Flock in 2022, initially with restrictions on data access, but those restrictions have since been loosened. The county has faced scrutiny regarding the cost and effectiveness of the system, as well as concerns about its impact on civil liberties. The arrest of Deputy Miller and the subsequent termination underscore the importance of robust oversight and accountability measures for law enforcement’s use of surveillance technology. DeKalb County officials have stated they are reviewing policies and procedures related to Flock access and usage. The case is expected to be reviewed by the DeKalb County District Attorney’s Office, and further investigations may be conducted to determine the extent of any data breaches or misuse. https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMingFBVV95cUxPQjZ2Rmc4bThPeUpLUnNodTdCZi10dkhuVW04elYxZ2ZuY2lEdldxMnhyS1FnTFNvY2hiTGR6d0RQTEYwVHlvbVpiQ2U3NzlKOGwtd2EwRkFCRkIzenR1VklZUktSYTlfWGdPSXk5MWpkOEtIN2wwSTFvUVVCbE1BNk92X1o4N0NobGxaREFsVV9xdDVGRlFaLVNjU2Ewdw?oc=5 — TECH — Growing reliance on over-the-air (OTA) software updates in vehicles is raising concerns among cybersecurity analysts. OTA updates allow automakers to remotely deploy software changes, bug fixes, and new features, improving vehicle performance and safety. However, these updates also create potential vulnerabilities that malicious actors could exploit to gain control of vehicle systems. Analysts point to the increasing complexity of automotive software and the interconnectedness of vehicle components as key factors contributing to the heightened risk. Recent incidents involving automotive software vulnerabilities have underscored the potential consequences of inadequate cybersecurity measures. Hackers have demonstrated the ability to remotely access and control vehicle functions, raising concerns about safety and privacy. Automakers are responding by investing in cybersecurity research and development and implementing stricter security protocols. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is also increasing its scrutiny of automotive cybersecurity practices. The risks associated with OTA updates are likely to persist as vehicles become increasingly software-dependent. Automakers and technology providers must prioritize cybersecurity throughout the entire vehicle lifecycle, from design and development to deployment and maintenance. Further regulatory oversight and industry standards may be necessary to ensure the safety and security of connected vehicles. https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMilwFBVV95cUxOY25LZ041MENtbWVpNE1nSERsRzR4QUp1Skt0YWo5cHBPZ1p2ajdlQ2lTM3JseXhLMkdpc1A0ZFRtUTVHcU1tZU01ajN0MUpUSHozNmpNTktUZjNzemtPdmpMMDB5TXl3N1RWU0syc29RWjJRRlhXZ281X21JeWo1UUtEODA0MVdQcG14eGRPNzNGekQtUnVR0gGcAUFVX3lxTE9NX0Z4bUJkM3ljOUZscHdpU1U2SVFWdWhWSFFMSGdBRGJkVHRpN2c5WmNUSHc0X04ybGxDQWpVZEdpS2dTNmZ3dUE3N2IyVU9LM05oSG5RTDA2WkR3N19QSWpFMXJBUVRHQUp0c3pvTnRJSXNkejZMYkthQzdqNlFyNlZUdEVRcGRaS0k3eHlnRExPQzlreTB3Y3Q5Rw?oc=5 — WORLD & POLICY — China presented its vision for artificial intelligence governance and global partnership at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) 2026 in Shanghai. The presentation emphasized China’s commitment to responsible AI development and international collaboration, while also highlighting its own advancements in the field. Chinese officials stressed the importance of establishing ethical guidelines and regulatory frameworks to ensure AI is used for the benefit of humanity. The WAIC, one of the world’s largest AI events, attracts researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders from around the globe. China’s growing prominence in AI research and development has made its position on governance and international cooperation a subject of considerable interest. The country has invested heavily in AI technologies, including machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing, and is seeking to shape the global conversation around AI ethics and regulation. China's approach to AI governance differs from that of some Western nations, with a greater emphasis on state control and data security. The presentation at WAIC signals China’s intention to play a leading role in shaping the future of AI and its impact on the world. The conference underscored the ongoing debate about how to balance innovation with responsible development and international cooperation in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence. https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMilwFBVV95cUxPSkxDSkQwWl9WWlhPR1JzMk5wZ21LTnVyZmVHUHI3NjRpVmFOX3BHczFVUENKR2hIM3lOQWg1TURCUjQyWmRhbkRhYXUwR3hjdTFfSzBtSlVVV1AyWFpHZmlQUktxR0hZNFpjSWV5dlZiRzR5M1JzbHdXSU93WkU5RWVGbUpRaVVoT3hCbmVfZnJ4WmdhdXRr?oc=5 — FOR YOUR READING — • Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH) Expands AI And Cyber Push, Is The 37% Undervaluation Real? https://news.google.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?oc=5 Why: Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTSH) is expanding its AI and cyber security efforts, and the article questions whether the 37% undervaluation is genuine. • Is Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) Turning Truth Social Data Into a High-Frequency Trading Edge? https://news.google.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?oc=5 Why: The article discusses whether Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) is leveraging Truth Social data for a high-frequency trading advantage.
