SUMMARY

This week, The United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research 
Institute (UNICRI) planning to open the new Centre for Artificial Intelligence 
and Robotics, a headquarters in The Hague to monitor developments in artificial 
intelligence.

On cybersecurity, Europol has called for tough new legalisation to tackle cyber 
crime at the end of a 12-month period that saw the scale, rate and spread of 
hacker activity reach unprecedented levels : Ransomware has emerged as the top 
cybercrime recently; WannaCry and Petya ransomware attacks had crippled many 
firms lately; a "growing sophistication in the cybercrime community". In 
addition, Cyber criminals are now able to access ATMs through bank networks, 
according to the 
report<https://documents.trendmicro.com/assets/white_papers/wp-cashing-in-on-atm-malware.pdf>
 by Europol’s European Cybercrime 
Centre<https://www.europol.europa.eu/track/click/1079/1924>. Furthemore, The 
United States has asked China not to implement its new cyber security law over 
concerns it could damage global trade in services, a U.S. document published by 
the World Trade Organization showed on Tuesday.

On cyber geopolitics, executives from Facebook, Alphabet's Google and Twitter 
have been asked to testify before the U.S. Congress in coming weeks as 
lawmakers probe Russia's alleged interference in the 2016 U.S. election, 
committee sources said on Wednesday.
On hate speech online, The European 
Commission<https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/0629846D:BB> is calling upon social 
media companies including <https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/GOOGL:US> Facebook 
and Alphabet to develop a common set of tools to detect, block and remove 
terrorist propaganda and hate speech.

On Domain name, "the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers 
("ICANN") today announced that the plan to change the cryptographic 
key<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/ksk-rollover/#overview> that helps 
protect the Domain Name System (DNS) is being postponed".

“Fake news” and journalism as a force for peace are the themes chosen by Pope 
Francis for the Church-sponsored World Day of Social Communications 2018".

As event, we note WTO Public Forum, the Forum for Internet Freedom in Africa 
and Interpol Cybercrime Conference.
