The End of Humanity: Nukes, Nanotech, or God-Like Artificial Intelligences?

Oxford, England—The Global Catastrophic Risks conference sponsored by the Future of Humanity Institute concluded on Sunday. Participants were treated to a series of presentations describing how billions of people could potentially bite the dust over the next century. The possible megadeath tolls of both natural and biotech pandemics were considered. The chances that asteroids, comets, or gamma ray bursts from a nearby supernova could wipe out humanity were calculated. The old neo-Malthusian threats of overpopulation, resource depletion, and famine were trotted out. But these risks to future human well-being paled in comparison to one main menace—malicious human ingenuity.

Internal Blogging: Value Outweighs Risk If You Address Management Concerns Early

Internal blogs succeed when management believes their value outweighs their risks and conveys its support overtly. But the risks are very real. Information managers must decide if blogs serve a useful purpose in the company. Do they comply with existing policies on information retention and security? Are they auditable or discoverable? Must they be? And what happens when a blog makes someone look bad? Internal blogging might start under the radar, but it will only thrive with the support of management that considers it to be an asset to the company. This support only comes after information and knowledge management (I&KM) professionals prove, by addressing purpose, policy, and reputation issues, that blogs provide business value.

Late lessons from early warnings for nanotechnology

(Nanowerk Spotlight) One term you hear quite often in discussion about the potential risks of nanotechnology is 'precautionary principle'. This moral and political principle, as commonly defined, states that if an action or policy might cause severe or irreversible harm to the public or to the environment, in the absence of a scientific consensus that harm would not ensue, the burden of proof falls on those who would advocate taking the action. The principle aims to provide guidance for protecting public health and the environment in the face of uncertain risks, stating that the absence of full scientific certainty shall not be used as a reason to postpone measures where there is a risk of serious or irreversible harm to public health or the environment.

Expert Panel Concludes there is not Enough Information to Assess the Safety of Nanomaterials

OTTAWA, July 10 /PRNewswire/ - An expert panel appointed by the Council of Canadian Academies has concluded that too little is known to assess the overall human and environmental risks posed by the introduction nanomaterials and nanoproducts into society. However, the panel did not identify any evidence that nanoproducts currently on the market in Canada present risks that cannot be addressed through available risk management strategies.

Risks of a short sale

We have had our house for sale for three years. We have a first and second mortgage on the property, which has now dropped by more than 50 percent in market value. So we owe more than we can get for it. We have an offer for a short sale approved by the lenders for both the first and second mortgages.
