Israel Is Turning the Yellow Line Splitting Gaza into a Physical Barrier

The Israeli military is turning the yellow line that demarcates the more than half of the Gaza Strip it occupies and controls into a physical border. Analysis of satellite imagery by Forensic Architecture shows that the Israeli military has begun constructing earth berms—large, raised mounds of earth—in areas along the yellow line to create a physical separation between the Palestinian population forced to live in the western half of the enclave, and Israeli forces who occupy the eastern half.

Israeli troops withdrew to the yellow line after the so-called ceasefire agreement went into effect on October 10. Since then, they have engaged in a combination of construction of military infrastructure and roads in the over 53% of the territory that it controls—alongside the systematic destruction of existing buildings.

Treating data like land — data sovereignty in the AI age - ICT

Artificial intelligence in Indigenous communities was at the forefront at North America’s largest Indigenous tech conference.

In a world of generative AI used to write better emails or generate funny photos, Indigenous Tech Conference gathered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to discuss how AI can be used to create true impact in Indigenous communities.

“We don’t need more widgets in the world,” said Ryan St. Germaine, Metis, a founder and CEO of Indigenous Tech Conference. “Technology needs to be pointed towards the challenges of our time.”

Some of those challenges are data sovereignty and language revitalization.

According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, at least 40 percent of the 7,000 languages estimated to be spoken in the world are in danger and a language disappears every two weeks on average.

UNESCO is a UN agency that promotes global peace through international cooperation.

Michael Running Wolf, Northern Cheyenne and Lakota, is a co-founder and architect of First Nations Languages AI reality (FLAIR), an initiative that uses AI to support Indigenous communities in language revitalization and preservation efforts.

While many Indigenous languages have ongoing revitalization efforts, there are languages who have little to no speakers left, making large data collection unrealistic.

The organization’s aim is to reduce the number of data requirements required to build automatic speech recognition for various Indigenous languages.

He told ICT that AI can be used to create an immersive environment to enhance language learning

“You have this dynamic that even if there is funding, there are very few speakers in which to practice and so while every tribe is committed to revitalizing and reclaiming their languages, often there’s some practical barriers,” Running Wolf said. “For instance, you go to class or you go to the movies and camp, but what happens is you go home, watch Wheel of Fortune, watch TV or YouTube and that’s all in English. So what I can do is give you a tool where you can go home and practice saying ‘Turn your lights off’ in Lakota or Diné, and that’s where AI can be useful because it can make your language ambient to your home.”

While FLAIR works to reduce the data required to build automatic speech recognition for languages, other ASR and large language models still require vast amounts of data. Data which Running Wolf said was “unethically gathered.”

“These large language models have been built using stolen data,” he told ICT. “All our data, and the entirety of the internet has been scraped to create these large language models and now these large language model developers have a problem in that the internet is poison. It’s hard to tell if content is actually created by humans, which is the best kind of data And so now this puts a premium upon natural organic human data and what is the largest treasure trove of uninfected data and poisoned by AI? Indigenous data.”

Running Wolf equated data to land, and you wouldn’t give away your grandmother’s land for free.

“We are now in the era where our data is one of the last few reservoirs where we should obviously treat it like land,” he said. “You wouldn’t give away an acre of your grandmother’s land to someone for free. Similarly, with our data, if we treat it as a policy framework, as the equivalent of land, then we need to be very careful about it and guarded with it.”

In comes in the conversation of creating effective policy that protects and guarantees the sovereignty of Indigenous people’s data

“I think there needs to be more of an accurate depiction of who Indigenous people are and have our own digital sovereignty,” St. Germaine told ICT.

There are currently no federal or tribal policies that protect and guarantee the data sovereignty of Indigenous peoples.

“We don’t have strong intellectual property rights protection or data sovereignty protection currently. But what if tribes got together and created a co-op, like a data trust, a legal entity whose duty was to protect the data?” Running Wolf told ICT. “If we have strong tribal policy and strong agency over our data, and the strongest thing we can do is actually be the researchers ourselves, tribal research groups working on their own data, creating their own research.”

ICE flew 2-year-old to Texas despite court order to release her from custody


Kelley filed an emergency petition asking for Tipan Echeverria and his daughter’s release around 5:37 p.m. Thursday, less than five hours after they were taken into ICE custody, the affidavit states. About 40 minutes later, she filed a motion asking a judge to stop the transfer of Tipan Echeverria outside Minnesota and to order the release of the child.

Over the next several hours, Kelley placed numerous calls to ICE counsel to bring their attention to the filings, but said she did not receive a response.

At 8:11 p.m. on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Kathy Menendez enjoined ICE from removing the father and child from Minnesota. She also issued an order to release the child to the family’s attorney no later than 9:30 p.m., citing “irreparable harm” of keeping her in custody, the affidavit states.

ICE informed the court after the fact that Tipan Echeverria and his daughter had been placed on a commercial flight to Texas at 8:30 p.m.


Bold to test a judge's willingness to apply sanctions.

This isn’t exposing some unknown flaw. As the article says, this only applies for people who willingly use Bitlocker Recovery, which stores your key with Microsoft.

Those concerned about privacy would never do such a thing. As the article also states, many FBI requests cannot be fulfilled because the accounts didn’t share their keys.

…20 requests for BitLocker keys per year and in many cases, the user has not stored their key in the cloud making it impossible for Microsoft to assist.
