DIGITAL SIGNATURE IN ARGENTINA: Through Decree 743/24 issued today, the National Government allows remote initial ID validation of persons requesting to obtain a “Digital Signature”. Such signatory’s ID control by Licensed Certifiers may be performed through “biometric authentication” or other means. By eliminating the mandatory request of physical presence, the Government intends to ease the proceeding to obtain a Digital Signature and promote its’ use (quite limited until today in Argentina, where “electronic signature” is much more usual).

It is possible to identify three areas of current interest in relation to the control of cognition to advance the interests and aspiration of ideologically driven human collectives. The first is cognitive control of enemy populations connected to "hot wars" . The second touches on the curation of cognition at its edges by focusing on interpretation and behavior rather than on the foundations of cognitive pathways (eg here, and here). The third focuses cognitive control of target populations of competitor or target states (and other collectives) connected to "cold war." This last is the subject of a set of interesting essays focusing on Latin America that is the focus of this post. These control objectives exist on several levels and have been understood in a variety of ways. For example at a fairly benign level they have been referred to as narrative wars, seeking power to manage a "master narrative" within or between human collectives of every sort. In its more ancient (now tech enhanced) and generalized form it pointed to efforts at shaping the imaginaries or lifeworlds of target populations so that, having gained control of the way a target population sees and understands the world around them--makes sense of the world through a process of interpretation grounded in foundational premises about things, processes and "truths." In the context of orderly management within collectives it is sometimes understood, in a more micro-behavior environment, as the control and discovery of mis- mal- and dis-information (especially strong in the context of pandemic since 2019). What these areas of interest struggle with is ways to theorize a critical distinction, one between (1) collective cognitive development as it evolves along with its way of understanding the world--a natural though sometimes violently controlled process within social collectives however organized, and (2) technologies or actions that undermine that process of self development by projecting in the foreign in ways that contain a substantial element of deception. That deception, in turn can focus on the source of inward projection, the strategic leveraging of data (whether true or false as those things are understood), and the simulation of collective engagement. . . .At a very basic level the modalities of that deception focus on mal-, mis- and dis-information. But at the level of cognitive warfare (or battles for cognitive control) its focus is on the way in which a collective identifies, receives and processes this information in ways that are more likely to lead to conclusions and actions that align with the interest of the projecting power. #internationalrelations #ai #cognitivewarfare Cold War Style Cognitive Warfare: "Deepening the Response to Authoritarian Information Operations in Latin America"/"Contrarrestar las operaciones de información de actores autoritarios en Latinoamérica" https://lnkd.in/eTUfKU-e

Regulating AI in CDMX: Key Highlights The proposed AI Regulation Law for Mexico City (Ley para el uso de inteligencia artificial y el tratamiento de datos personales por sujetos obligados en la Ciudad de México) focuses on ethics, transparency, security, and accountability. Developed by Info CDMX with support from the British Embassy in Mexico, the Open Data Institute, and White Bx Project, it outlines crucial measures to ensure responsible AI use by authorities and public entities. Key Principles: • Protect personal data with robust cybersecurity measures. • Provide clear privacy notices for data usage. • Conduct algorithmic audits to assess risks. • Evaluate AI’s impact on privacy through transparent, risk-managed systems. The law also aims to foster innovation through: 1️⃣ Clear guidelines for open data sharing without compromising privacy. 2️⃣ Policies ensuring AI is used without social profiling or discrimination. Authorities must establish: • AI committees and codes of conduct. • Training programs and privacy risk management systems. The Digital Agency for Public Innovation (ADIP) will oversee periodic algorithmic audits to ensure fairness and transparency, while Info CDMX will monitor compliance. This initiative marks a significant step in regulating AI at the government level, with potential future expansion to private companies to further safeguard citizens’ data. #AIRegulation #DataPrivacy #Innovation #MexicoCity Link to complete text of the proposal: https://lnkd.in/ggnxgUVd

For your Sunday morning #digitalcoffeebreakinarbitration we recommend the article "IP Arbitration in Chile: Aramco’s Success in an Internet Domain Name Dispute" by Mateo Verdías Mezzera and Matias Gonzalez from Cuatrecasas. The authors explains that in a recent arbitration decision in Santiago de Chile, the sole arbitrator ruled in favor of Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Aramco) in a domain property dispute against Mr. Joaquín Poblete. The dispute arose after Mr. Poblete registered the domain "aramco.cl" shortly after Aramco's arrival in Chile. The arbitrator granted the revocation of the domain registration, citing that it would misleadingly identify Aramco, given its extensive trademark use worldwide. Aramco demonstrated a "preferential interest" over the domain, while the respondent did not appear in the proceeding. This case emphasizes the need for businesses to monitor domain registrations closely to protect their trademarks and underscores the application of principles of fairness in NIC-Chile domain disputes.

📢 Important Update: New Resolution P-295/2024 Modifies Opposition Procedure in Argentina 🇦🇷 The Argentine National Industrial Property Institute (INPI) has issued Resolution P-295/2024, introducing significant amendments to the trademark opposition process. Here's what you need to know: 🔹 New Fee: Applicants are now required to pay a one-time fee within 15 working days from the notification of the opposition to have their trademark applications considered. Non-payment will lead to automatic rejection of the application. 🔹 Changes from Previous System: Under the previous Resolution 183/2018, only opponents were required to pay a fee. Applicants were simply required to respond to opposition arguments without any associated fee. 🔹 Transitional Clause: For ongoing applications with unresolved oppositions, applicants who have not yet responded will receive a final notice to pay the new fee. Non-payment within the specified period will result in automatic rejection of the application. Key Actions: 📌 Respond to oppositions and pay the new fee promptly to avoid disruptions in your trademark application process. 📌 If you missed responding previously, this is your chance to demonstrate your commitment by paying the fee. 📌 Unsure of your application status or need assistance? Contact us for a detailed review and guidance. Stay tuned for more updates! 🤝🛡️ #TrademarkUpdate #IPLaw #INPI #TrademarkOppositions #NewResolution
