    Raoul Moat – The Media & Violence

    Most people have never directly experienced violence e.g., in 2022 the FBI reported that there were as few as 380.7 violent crimes per 100 000 people, in the US, meaning that very few people in the US actually experienced violence directly i.e., had a firsthand experience of it. Obviously, violent offending isn’t spread evenly across the country, and different cities, towns, and locales etc., experience it at different rates e.g., if you live in Cleveland, Ohio you are at a greater risk of violence than if you live in Burlington, Vermont, however there may well be parts of Cleveland that...

    Personal Safety Lessons from A.I. (Artificial Intelligence)

    I’m a fan of A.I. (Artificial Intelligence). I don’t believe that “robots” will take over the world - feel free to email me, or my robot captor/guardian in a few years, if you’ve managed to escape their regime. However, I do think it is worth taking a moment to look at what A.I. does well at from a security/safety perspective, along with what it’s not so good at, and may never be so good at; I don’t believe that it will ever be able to surpass the human evolution of “intuition”; that “system” which has been keeping us safe -...
