- Despite this, the vulnerabilities and exploits discovered by researchers are not widely used in the wild by macOS threat actors, and that is largely because they have found other ways to the same end. In this post, we continue our look at the role of privilege escalation on macOS from the point of view of malware developers and how they take a.

Professor Peter Dauvergne argues that although AI is generating some environmental gains, powerful corporations and states are exaggerating the benefits, ignoring the risks and deploying AI in ways antithetical to sustainability.
In the third instalment of the QUT Global Law, Science and Technology Series, Peter discussed how the competition to profit from artificial intelligence has the potential to entrench technocratic management, rev up resource extraction, and turbocharge consumerism and therefore has the potential to generate new forces of inequality and injustice.

About the series
The QUT Global Law, Science and Technology Seminar Series aims to bring together national and international speakers who will explore the personal, societal and governance dimensions of solving real world problems which are influenced by, and through the interactions of science, technology and the law.
Ai: Wild Game
The series will host speakers who think about ‘technology’ and ‘science’ as broadly construed to refer to methods of framing or interacting with the world, and that enable the critical and imaginative questioning of the technical, science, environmental and health dimensions of law and life.
